References vs inline links
MediaWiki footnote references require using the <ref> tag around the link and a section with a <references /> tag [1] (See #References below)
Contrast with an inline link like this [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Cite] [1]
Note that both handle the automatic numbering in the link based on its position in the page, but both do it independently. That's why both of these examples show up as "[1]". We should probably recommend one format or another.
