Incorrect footnote? edit

There seem to be two footnote 1's, one to the national authority involved in this, one to the first of five references to HSK content.

The first footnote 1 seems to me correct in the edit page, but does not show up for me in the "Article" Page.

I'm afraid I don't know how to fix this (and I wonder whether the same numbering will show up when somebody else tries this...) Good luck and thanks.

They're more references than footnotes. Reference [1] is being used twice: as a source for how the test was developed, and as a source for the five sections of the test. In the reference list, there are links a and b to the two uses – this is neater than repeating the whole reference for the second use. Kanguole 23:48, 1 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
