===== Repeating footnotes: Cite→Re-Use =====
You don’t have to repeat the same footnote text more than once (you don’t even need to write “ibid”!). If you want to cite the same footnote more than once throughout an Article body, you may.
 
After you have entered the text with all its footnotes, make a note of which footnotes are supposed to match. Then in the Observatory Draft, delete the second numbered reference. Move your cursor to the part of the Article body where your second footnote reference is supposed to go and click the “Cite” button (the open-quotation mark icon). Then click “Re-Use.” Then select the first footnote you want to re-use and they should connect. For example, see Footnote #7 in this Article: [[Why Charter Schools Open Where They Do—And Why That’s a Problem#cite ref-:0 7-1|https://observatory.wiki/Why_Charter_Schools_Open_Where_They_Do%E2%80%94And_Why_That%E2%80%99s_a_Problem]].
