Ok. Good news. Wikipedia's now matches our , and creates a proper in-line citation, and  and  no longer create those bizarre boxes in the text.

Bad news. , while now making the right in-line citation, still will not appear in the reference list at the bottom of the page.

More bad news. is all kinds of broken. still does not format right, as seen here (It only shows the arrow). Additionally, will not appear in the reference list, nor will it allow for hyper-linking in the footnote without breaking the tag, as seen here.

Wikipedia's function will cause the note to appear as an in-line citation, but with the distinction of nb## instead of simply ##. Notes and references also keep their own separate numbering order and appear in the previously mentioned separate sections of References and Footnotes. (The tags on Wikipedia's site also have the added layer of coding that makes the notes and references pop into a box when the mouse is rolled over them, so that could be an integral part of the equation we don't have. Who knows).

So, like you said, these would be nice to flesh out as we grow the site, but we would have to figure out how to work them into a groove of our existing templates.
