Page talk:Irisleabhar na Gaedhilge vols 5+6.djvu/342

@Silmethule: You don't need the <ref group="S68" follow="p132n13"> stuff: the group part seems like you were looking at something that had more than one set of footnotes; follow is used to join footnotes that have been split across a page (see: here). These are endnotes, so they need to be treated a bit differently. HTH -- Jimregan (talk) 13:20, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

@Jimregan: I was trying to come up with some generic solution that would work for a main namespace article with the full Irisleabhar issue (or even the whole volume) on one page (where there would be many separate footnote groups from different articles (single book-type thing), but I guess that’s not an issue since separate articles go to separate pages anyway. I was also thinking about a separate full Séadna edition from parts published in Gaelic Journal – but there it could also work as regular footnotes to chapters, I guess. So thanks for the comment, you convinced me groups don’t make sense here, will remove them. :)

As for using follow, I got the idea to use it here exactly from en:Help:Footnotes and endnotes#Footnotes that continue over page breaks (see the part beginning with “The procedure can be used to turn endnotes into footnotes”) which shows such usage. If there is a more standard way of handling endnotes, I’m happy to change it. Silmethule (talk) 15:14, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Hmm... The attribute you're looking for is name - <ref name="whatever"/> inline in the text, and upon transclusion, it'll work as expected. The problem, though, is that you'll get broken <ref> tags in the Page: namespace, so you'd need to copy the <ref name="whatever">With content</ref> into the pages - usually, in the page footer, which is not transcluded. -- Jimregan (talk) 20:20, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Ok, missed the 'endnotes into footnotes' part, so that would get rid of the need to double the reference. -- Jimregan (talk) 20:23, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
