Consider using Footnote-mode (minor mode) in addition to Notes.
Footnote can renumber references but only for those in a given page.
If you use Footnote inside plan pages, it can renumber them
appropriately.  I also have the following hook in my configs to create
Footnotes under its own * Footnotes section

(add-hook 'planner-mode-hook (lambda () 
                            (set (make-local-variable 'footnote-section-tag) "* 
Footnotes")
                            (set (make-local-variable 
'footnote-section-tag-regexp) "\\* Footnotes\\(\\[.\\]\\)?")
                            (footnote-mode)))

I know Muse publishes Footnotes appropriately, not sure about
emacs-wiki though.
