Forum:Inline citing vs. footnotes

After the great job we did on the Live Another Day production section, I've been thinking it might make sense to start doing the same for the in-universe articles as well. The current cite template is fine, but there's a lot of cases where you have a lot of varied sources in the same sentence or paragraph - Jack's early life, for example - and it looks pretty bad to have a giant episode title after every sentence. Also, with footnotes, it's much easier to add on notes for a particular source, where it isn't immediately clear what part of the episode the info comes from. Some examples here, here, and here. Some pages will have a lot of references at the end, but we can just use a scrolling box like on the Live Another Day page. It will take a little doing with the bot, but it shouldn't be too hard to convert, if we want. I made a new template for it here that should map over pretty easily, as long as a is added at the end of each page. --Pyramidhead (talk) 23:14, June 4, 2014 (UTC)
