With footnotes, linking works both ways. For example, for footnote 1, instead of clicking on the upward caret ("^") to go to the footnote, you click the "a", "b", and "c" to go to the three places in the body of the text where the footnote number ([1], in this case) is located. Multiple footnotes are marked up differently than singular ones.
Footnotes will be altered to fit this article's style if they do not conform to the following rule: The only cases where short footnotes are allowed is when a source has multiple footnotes to different pages or footnotes to the same source are unique in some other way such as due to quotations or annotations specific to a particular footnote.

Note that in the pronunciation footnote [p], the word "time" is considered obvious, and the syllables for "dy-LAY-shun" are shown with capital letters for emphasis, but there is also ample space to show the IPA-format within the same footnote as well. The footnote's superscript "[p]" can be coded by just a short wikilink: <sup>[[#Notes|[p ...
3) Take note of the name of the footnote that immediately precedes yours in the article body. 4) Add #{{Note|TheSun_Dec9}} to the list, immediately below the footnote you noted in step 3. No need to re-number anything! 5) Multiple footnotes to the same reference: see [[Wikipedia:Footnote3]] for a how-to. NOTE: It is important to add footnotes ...
