This is what I get when I use the re-use Citation feature. You can delete this when after you look at it.

References

  1. ↑ ( #1, name=:0, Some Source Name (1973), p.17)
  2. ↑ a b ( #2, name=:1, Some Other Source (1985), p.3))
  3. ↑ ( #3, name=:2), Some Source name (1992), p.1)

What happens is that footnote ":0" is for #1 but also #4, and ":0" doesn't refer to the year or page or anything, so it's terribly difficult to look up without using a search function for ":0" or by manually/visually searching the code. Also, ":0" refers to topic 1, on page 17. It can be very confusing.

And when reusing a citation, it gets more complicated. footnote [2] is also ":0", and is used in topic #4 and refers to p.3. And it's further complicated by trying to look up which footnote it is in the Citations list, and finding that one wants to use [3]... but [3] in the code is labelled "name=:2" (and is for p.1).

A more straightforward method which allows another editor to simply refer to a repeated citation by knowing which sources have been cited, and knowing the source they're citing from would be by using names with more clarity, like this:

  1. A sentence.[1]
  2. And another sentence.[2]
  3. More sentence information.[3]
  4. And a final sentence.[1]

It makes it easier to find previous sources in the code, and easier for a later editor to say, "I am quoting Some Source Name, p.17, so I know I can use "name=source17", since I already saw that and won't have to look it up again." They don't have to memorize every footnote and how it relates to the [4] alone.

  1. ↑ a b Some Source Name (1973), p.17
  2. ↑ Other Source (1985), p.3
  3. ↑ Third Source name (2002), p.6
  4. ↑ "name=". They should be easily distinguishable from one another, and be understandable by simply reading the name of the
