From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here is a rough draft of my proposed changes/additions to the new citation feature. Of course everything is subject to tweaking and such.

See m:Talk:Cite/Cite.php#A_different_idea

Current system[edit]

The proposed new system would be backwards compatible with the current system. If the page used a <references/> tag, it would behave exactly as it does now:

In the aftermath of the [[First Italian War]], [[Pope Alexander VI]] had moved to consolidate Papal control over central Italy by seizing the [[Romagna]]. [[Cesare Borgia]], acting as [[gonfaloniere]] of the Papal armies, had expelled the [[Bentivoglio]] family from [[Bologna]], which they had ruled as a fief, and was well on his way towards establishing a permanent Borgia state in the region when Alexander died on [[18 August]] [[1503]].<ref>Norwich, ''History of Venice'', 390.</ref> Although Cesare managed to seize the remnants of the Papal treasury for his own use, he was unable to secure Rome itself, as French and Spanish armies converged on the city in an attempt to influence the [[Papal conclave]]; the election of [[Pope Pius III|Pius III]] (who soon died, to be replaced by Julius II) stripped Cesare of his titles and relegated him to commanding a company of men-at-arms.<ref>Guicciardini, ''History of Italy'', 168–175.</ref> Sensing Cesare's weakness, the dispossessed lords of the Romagna offered to submit to the Republic of Venice in exchange for aid in regaining their dominions; the Senate accepted and had taken possession of [[Rimini]], [[Faenza]], and a number of other cities by the end of 1503.<ref>Norwich, ''History of Venice'', 391.</ref>

In response, Julius concluded an alliance with France and the Holy Roman Empire against Venice; the death of [[Isabella of Spain]] and the resulting collapse of relations between the parties soon dissolved the alliance, but not before Venice had been induced to abandon several of the cities.<ref>Norwich, ''History of Venice'', 392.</ref> Julius, although unsatisfied with his gains, did not himself possess sufficient forces to fight the Republic; for the next two years he instead occupied himself with the reconquest of Bologna and [[Perugia]], which, located between Papal and Venetian territory, had in the meantime assumed a state of quasi-independence.<ref>Guicciardini, ''History of Italy'', 189–190.</ref>

A second assault by a [[Tyrol]]ean force several weeks later was an even greater failure; Alviano not only routed the Imperial army but also proceeded to seize [[Trieste]] and [[Fiume]], forcing Maximilian to conclude a truce with Venice.<ref>Norwich, ''History of Venice'', 393.</ref>

Why does it have to look like XHTML? Redirects use ordered lists to do magic; why can't we just use a definition list and do magic with that?
