Hello, what I would like to do is a footpage like this : == References == <references> * <ref name="article1">An article about the subject, which is 3 pages long</ref> <references/> <references group="A"/> Which would allow to refer to the article by using <ref name="article1"/>, or to only a specific page of the article by using <ref group="A">p.2</ref>. It would greatly improve readability of such cases. Thanks in advance.

Seems I have misunderstood it. The is description not too clear... :/
(In reply to comment #4) > Seems I have misunderstood it. The is description not too clear... :/ I agree. The title and implementation are unclear. If this can be retitled, I suggest "add page number parameter". As to implementation, it would be more like: <ref name="article1" page="2"> Editors keep asking for a page number parameter in Cite.php, but I have never seen a good description of where and how it should appear. If it is to appear inline, then it would be like the en.wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:R. If in the reference list, then the only way I can see this is like shortened footnotes— http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CITESHORT.
Sorry if the explanation is not clear, i'm not fluent in english. I think this "feature request" is not the same as Bug 20707, even if they both talk about pages in refs, which is not handled very well at the moment. What I am asking for is to be able to add a ref to an article, and also to add a ref to a subpart of this article. When I add a ref to a subpart of an article, what I do is using a group, and grouping refs in the bottom of the article like this : * Name of an article about the subject, which is 3 pages long <references group="A"/> But if I do this, the only way to refer to the article as a whole is to add a ref with "Name of an article about the subject, which is 3 pages long" as text, which will cause this text to be duplicated in the bottom of this article. So I wanted to write this to avoid duplication of the text : == References == <references> * <ref name="article1">An article about the subject, which is 3 pages long</ref> <references/> <references group="A"/> But it doesn't work. Sorry if it's still hard to understand. Any feature oriented to add support of subpages in references named would be great.

Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:rp That template allows named references to be reused and adds the page number inline.

That should have been http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:rp
In my opinion, Template:rp adds too much information in text. I think that pages should be specified at the bottom of the page, not in the text.
Show me what that would look like.
Actually it is a duplicate of Bug 13127 - Page number attribute for <ref> tags
