Author-Date Referencing

Author-date referencing (Ritter 2002) is also known as the Harvard system (Ritter 2002:18) or parenthetical system (Ritter 2002:134). See also Wikipedia:Footnote3 templates.

^ This is the footnote 2.
^ ^a ^b ^c Like this one. The tag is invisible.

Simple Ref/Note System

Use of simple ref/note tags: each ref tag in the text is matched to a note tag in the footnotes.^{label 1} Unique invisible names^{label 2} are used to create a clickable link to a matching note^{label 3} template placed at the footnote locations.^[2] It is possible to concatenate several different references^a to the same note...^b

See Wikipedia:Footnote3.

Notes

^what label? Text of footnote 1. Invisible tags make the link between ref and note, but the optional visible labels can be changed.
^label 3 Text of footnote 3. The order of the notes are entered manually and can be changed or sorted.
^label 2 Text of footnote 2.
^ Text of footnote 4. When optional labels are omitted, this is how the note looks like.
^a ^b ... in this way.

Complex Ref/Note System

Use of complex ref/note tags: requires three parameters: reference name, number (or label), and id. Each ref tag in the text is matched to a note tag in the footnotes.^[11] Unique combinations of parameters reference name+id ^[22] are used to create a clickable link to a matching note^[33] template placed at the footnote locations.^[] It is possible to concatenate several different references^{[Smith 2000:55]} to the same note.^{[Smith 2000:66]}

Notes

^aaa Text of footnote 11.
^ccc Text of footnote 33. The order of the notes are also entered manually and can be changed or sorted.
^bbb Text of footnote 22.
^ddd Text of footnote 44. When number is omitted, this is how the note looks like.

Content Footnotes

Content footnotes are used primarily for comments on the text,^[click] in contrast with source notes. The Template:Cref marks the point in the text where the footnote is inserted.

Notes

Ideally, the "Notes" section should immediately precede the "References" section, if both are kept separate. Alternatively, rename the section as "Notes and References".
