:* | :**[https://www.familysearch.org/learn/forums/en/showthread.php?t=17189 References in the wiki] "the question really isn't about whether to use footnote or endnote styles, but rather how to display information so that readers can most effectively glean it." | ||
*Philadelphia, PA is an example of a link to several books, rather having several links to each book (WeRelate). | |||
*There are different styles - giving a source, as opposed to the reference information. Quotes in the body of the document would have the souce in the footnote. | |||
*We need to present sufficient information to guide them to the title, etc. and then to further links for citing, etc. (endnote) The text should make the reader want to find more information on the topic, without giving too much information to muddy the waters (include the date information). | |||
*More discussion is needed before we change the style guide. | |||
