I'll do it if it makes you more comfortable but that's not the correct way to do citations. It will simply be a repeat of the same cite over and over. You may pride yourself on it, but that is not correct footnote format, and is also completely unnecessary and burdensome.

The citations are not to be made after every paragraph but after every piece of lore or concept that is involved in the cite. This is basic MLA footnote citation. You guys have a lot of things that do not conform to proper grammar or citation rules or include misunderstandings of systems I built into the Warhammer 40k Wiki.

In most cases I am simply repairing incorrect grammar and unclear writing. Because the more important pages are often massive info dumps, they are very off-putting on cell phone screens which the majority of users use to access the content, which is why I break them up.

So I can paste the same citation at the end of every paragraph but that is just repetitive and will produce huge chains of footnotes at the bottom of the page that will just be the same thing over and over. It is not necessary aesthetically, does nothing for reliability and is actually an incorrect footnote citation format.
