Hi John,

AFAICT the Wiki Cite extension (footnotes) is designed more for citing actual published papers or books rather than URLs as the text you put ref tags around is shown in the automatically generated footnote.

It seems to me (maybe I'm getting totally the wrong impression), some people (not naming anyone in particular Geert...) prefer to not have the actual URL in the body of the text, just in the footnote.

I'm OK with adding the URL where it is first referenced, so it could also appear in the footnotes. Anybody have objections?

Regards,
Chris Good
