 A: We can handle the asterisk style footnotes (annotations) as if they are endnotes.
+Q: I am working on Prairie Fire and this is my first time working on endnotes. I am a little confused about three things:
+. If the endnotes are not at the very end of the book (in this book, they come before the Bibliography and Index), do I still move them to the end of the book? Or do I move the sections that come after it back underneath it so it still follows the book order?
+. The endnotes in the book are separated by Chapter headings.
+Example:
+{{:public:nnels:etext:end_notes_and_headers.png?600|}}
+Do I do this:
+Notes [Heading 1]
+Chapter 1 [Heading 2]
+end note
+end note
+end note
+Chapter 2 [Heading 2]
+end note
+end note
+end note
+OR do I do this:
+Notes [Heading 1]
+end note
+end note
+end note
+end note
+end note
+end note
+I'm assuming I go with the first option? However, I couldn't find anything in the End Notes in wiki or in the Q&A about how to handle end notes separated by headings.
+. What do I do when they indicate the same number for the endnotes multiple times? (for example, 1 is randomly inserted in multiple sections). How do I properly link them?
+Thanks so much!
+A: We do not divide the Endnotes under headers, and we use continuous numbers, and do not repeat numbers. We reinsert all the notes as Endnotes with continuous numbers despite what it looked like in the original. Those headings are not make the notes more accessible. You only need a linked note to be accessible, so we remove the headings. There is an Advanced Tip area that shows you how to track endnotes that repeat numbers in the original ebook. [[public:nnels:etext:notes#advanced_tip|Advanced Tips]]. Notes will always take extra time and attention, so do not rush, go through it carefully until you find your rhythm.
+FOLLOW UP Q: So just to confirm, the endnotes are at the end of the book. But the Advanced Tips are telling me to do the end notes at the end of the chapters instead (by creating a section break, changing endnote dialogue settings to "restart at each section", coping and pasting everything in, and then removing the section breaks and changing it back to "continuous"). This means that the end notes will no longer be where they were originally in the book (at the end of the book), but rather, they will be at the end of every chapter.
+I apologize if this is very clear and I'm just getting confused. I find the wording on the wiki a little difficult to visualize. I want to be absolutely sure before I do this, because there are 16 pages of end notes in this book and that's a lot of fixing to do if what I'm understanding is not what the Wiki is telling me.
+A: Endnotes always go at the end of a book. Footnotes go at the end of a section. Just put them all in as endnotes. I will review the wiki language next week and make any clarifying revisions.
+----
+Q: Another question for "Until We Are Free," in the article "6 Unbordable Blackness..." there is an endnote (#38) that does not contain any information.  Should I remove the in-text reference to this endnote as I imagine that it could be confusing for the reader if they try to follow the endnote.
+A: Yes, you can remove that reference. It was a mistake that slipped through editing.
+----
+Q: L'animal langage. Some of the end notes reference one another, which is an issue because in the original the end notes follow every chapter and restart the count each chapter, but in my formatted version, the end notes are continuous across all chapters. Thus, an end note might read "Voir note 28" but actually be referring to note 155 in the newly formatted document. What should I do?
+A: That is tricky for sure! Right now we can only create endnotes at the end of the book, so the best thing to do is update the reference to the new note number.
