Adding footnote display code to templates

I note we're using  footnotes more and more (or rather we're preferring to use footnotes more and more).  I think it may be helpful to add the "Reference" display code to a few of the templates that seem to generate pages with a lot of footnotes. That way there will need to be fewer key strokes, open tabs and copy and pasting.  And if there are no footnotes when the page is set up, then the code just hangs there at the bottom of the page until it is needed. I know I am more likely to add a footnote if I don't have to navigate to the cheatsheet to track down the Reference code first. 

Thoughts?

Yay more templates! Er, technical term, um, "Citation Formatting"? "Citation Format Formatting"? "Citation Formatting Coding and Format"? Or more informally, maybe, "Fanlore Editors' Riffs on Reffing (soon to be requested as a filk in Return of the Remix Requests)"? ;)

I've been missing fl & the gang! But despite distractions I'll be back (I hope sooner rather than later) running around and poking away. :)
