btrem, there's the "prose" of what we call things, and I prefer "footnote reference" for that as it is both complete words and very unambiguous, whereas for the ID of the thing I append "_ref" to the ID of the post, and then "-" and then the number used for the footnote reference, which is a direct copy from Wikipedia's convention for the IDs of references. similarly for the ID for the "note" part below.

yeah "cue" is a crappy answer. I might have to check my CMoS to see what it says
