Opinions?

Hi,

I've only just read the page on this extension. I think that making referencing / citing easier can only encourage people to reference their sources which is a Good Thing.

+1 from me.

Cheers,
Adam

I agree with AJ; +1 from me too.

Or automate footnotes, which makes it easier to separate the details and edge cases from the essence of the text.

At any rate, it doesn't look like it'll hurt things.

Plugins can make updating a pain so I want to make sure there is a demand.

Its' a plugin deployed by Wikimedia, so it should at least have good ongoing support

Not only that but it's used on virtually every Wikipedia page.

Just to let you know: This plugin breaks every other update, and while useful, isn't really worth the hazzle. Someone should make a better implementation of this...

Just to let you know, that's a troll I was arguing on Freenode's #osdev with, after having mentioned this thread. Wikipedia uses it so it probably works just fine.
