5. Ability to use notes/refs within templates, and the actual note/ref to appear in the article that includes the said template. (eg. see Template:Geographical Macedonia within article Macedonia (terminology) -where "Note a" is forced within the template, rather than in the ref section in the article. Relevant test failed (see history of both articles).) Useful diffs: template http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Geographical_Macedonia&diff=prev&oldid=55053861 article http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Macedonia_%28terminology%29&diff=55053824&oldid=55053743
See current behavior at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Simetrical/Ref_test_2. Transcluded refs appear to behave correctly except that 1) new numbers from transcluded refs (due to an unnamed ref or a new name) are numbered after all numbers from local refs, and 2) transcluded refs are not reflected in <references />.
Also 3) the ref text does not appear in the template: article 4) there is no notification in the template: article for editors who wish to place it in another article to also include a <references/> section (for the ref-text to appear).
I think solving this issue will enable people to have unique IDs for references in the template namespace in Wikimedia projects. I think it's pretty clear that this would be a fantastic thing to have, so I'm changing the priority from low to normal.

You can type a notification between <noinclude> and </noinclude>. Marked as FIXED.
