Ya i thought over it again and what you are saying is making more sense. SO
what i have decided no is create a new references namespace and all references
will then be within this namespace.
Now i did manage to add the button and call the form that i wanted to. So now
am thinking that i will create a table for references similar to the images
tables. But am still a little confused about how does a pgae get associated
with a particular namespace.
Thanks a lot for your help.

3) I think the 2nd part will be similar to working of the category
namespace.
I can't tell you how to do the button magic, but I want to comment on
your idea about the categories. In my opinion the pages for your foot
note references should _not_ be in the category namespace because they
have a completeley different semantic meaning than categories.
From my point of view there are two different
options:
* Create a new namespace for all your foot note pages. That way you have
them all in a separate namespace like with your category approach, but
they do not mix with the real categories.
* Create the foot note reference pages as sub pages of the article. E.g.
if you have a page "Article", call your cited reference page
"Article\Reference ABC" and so on.
Which way is better suited, depends on what you want to do with the
references. If you only need them in the context of the article, where
they are used, you should probably take the sub page approach. If
several articles might use the same reference and you want to look at
all the references independent of the articles referring to them, then
the approach using an own namespace might be more useful.
Ciao, Michael.
