This epic gathers together several features of Cite which are good candidates for [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CommunityConfiguration | community configuration ]].
== Potential configuration knobs ==
This task is about setting up UI knobs, please split out subtasks for implementing the lower-level configurability itself.
* **Backlink markers**. Ie. `1.0` vs. `a`
* **Default footnote marker** numerals. Ie. `3` vs. `٣`.
* **Custom group markers**: {T377575}. Currently configured by legacy i18n messages; new work will generate dynamically from CLDR.
* **Responsive references** (**as new default**). Currently configured by `$wgCiteResponsiveReferences` and `$wgCiteResponsiveReferencesThreshold`. Ideally we drop all multicol overrides on-wiki.
* VE shows Cite under **"Insert" or its own menu**: `”`. Currently configured by `$wgCiteVisualEditorOtherGroup`.
* **Omit square brackets** around footnote markers. Ie. `[1]` vs. `1` . Used by frwiki, eswiki... Currently configured as a styleable class `.cite-brackets` .
Unapproved wireframe, with the first small steps of backlink symbols and preview outlined in red:
