Description

In addition to [^1] style footnotes, you can also use alphameric codes like [^fiji], [^trackmate], etc. For citation-heavy pages, this would be much more maintainable and less error-prone over time.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing footnote parsing or rendering entry point in the JavaScript wiki code, then inspect how numeric references are handled. Done means alpha-coded references such as [^fiji] and [^trackmate] work reliably on citation-heavy pages alongside numeric footnotes.
