**Feature summary** (what you would like to be able to do and where): In https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Help:Footnotes_and_endnotes#Nested_footnotes it currently states that footnotes cannot be nested due to limitations in the Cite extension. What should happen is that the nested tags should be relocated, such that they are a reference placed after the end of the containing parent. **Use case(s)** (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution): https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Page:A_voyage_to_Abyssinia_(Salt).djvu/360&oldid=15555613 In some works on Wikisource, footnotes can be nested inside each other, **Benefits** (why should this be implemented?): Allowing nested footnotes in this manner, would more directly support the lengthy style of footnote present in some source works, as well as on other projects allowing for extended footnotes, where additional (short) explanatory clarifications or annotations are added as a footnote to a footnote..

This mini-DOM is then used to construct the <references/> tag. with nested references placed immediately after the parent footnote.
