Firstly, I do need to mention that I am biased here, having participated in the thread and having used separate "Footnotes" and "References" sections in many of my recent sandbox drafts. However, this proposal did receive pretty much unanimous support with no outright objections. As such, in the interest of clearing through the backlog of threads that need closing a little, I am going to close this thread myself as succesful. Separating out references and footnotes will be a gradual and manual process across the whole wiki, but any new pages should use the two sections separately where appropriate. On the issue of whether to use "nb", "note" or letters, there was no real consensus here. As such, I will leave it as "nb" for now but this can be discussed further at [[Template talk:Note]] if required.
