Thread:Talk:Flow Portal/Interactive Prototype/Markup-mode *needed* in editor/reply (14)

Jorm - VE does not support copying of formatted information from one page to another. Copying a footnote (let's say, footnote 3) simply pastes a "[3]" to the new page.

It's quite common, in talk page discussions, to copy/paste wikitext that is, or includes footnotes, from articles - for example, to show what was removed by an edit. It's common - perhaps even more common - to post potential footnote to a talk page, and - if acceptable - to have them copied to the article by another editor. That's what we ask those with conflict of interest issues to do, for example.
