I understand not wanting clutter. I'll think about adding this. It's just easier for the coding to give every reference a name and then it can easily be again elsewhere in the biography (by the Auto Bio or the editor).

I've looked at the profile you referenced. I have a couple of comments on this part of the 'biography':
GUILBEAUX, Honore (Placide & Julie CORMIER) bt. 21 Oct. 1832 at age 5 mths. (Laf. Ch.: v. 4, #90)
GUILBEAUX, Honore Placide of Laf. (Placide & Julie CORMIER) m. 22 May 1855 Anne E. THOMAS (SM Ch.: v. 9, #134)
1. This looks to me like a citation which should be with the rest of the citation, either like this:
== Sources ==

... or like this:
== Biography ==
'''Honore Placide Guilbeau''' was born about May 1832 in Lafayette, Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, United States, son of [[Guilbeau-72|Francois Placide Guilbeau]] (about 1795–1865) and [[Cormier-1089|Julie Cormier]] (about 1802–1882). <ref>Title: Southwest Louisiana Records, 1750-1900: compact disk #101; Author: Donald J. Hébert; Publication: Rayne, LA: Hébert Publications, 2001; GUILBEAUX, Honore (Placide & Julie CORMIER) bt. 21 Oct. 1832 at age 5 mths. (Laf. Ch.: v. 4, #90)</ref>
Honore (23) married '''[[Thomas-19998|Anne Elisabeth Thomas]]''' (16) (born July 23, 1838 in St. Martin Parish; daughter of [[Guidry-405|Arthemise Arthemise (Guidry) Thomas]] (1803–before 1842)) on May 22, 1855 in St. Martinville, St. Martin Parish. <ref>Title: Southwest Louisiana Records, 1750-1900: compact disk #101; Author: Donald J.

If the parts of the citation you've put in the Biography were connected with the rest of the citation like this, the Auto Bio would probably be able to pick them up and add them inline as above (though the code may need a little adjusting to recognise this format (or source)).
...
The other thing is that - as I think you suggested - it's difficult for me (the Auto Bio) to go through the current biography to find text which is actually a citation but not marked as such (as I think your text is there). However, this doesn't mean that the Auto Bio is not working. It just means that you may need to do a little work after hitting the button. The Auto Bio is meant as a base to build on. There will often be something useful/relevant in the current bio that has not been added to the generated bio automatically, as it's not easy to parse all the text (without AI or something). But this is what the message is for:
