Hi, I’m Johannes from Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes team. I’m reaching out to your community, because your wiki has been a pilot wiki for previous features we’ve created. We are currently developing a new feature: Sub-referencing.
For many years, community members have requested an easy way to re-use references with different details. Now, a MediaWiki solution is coming. The new sub-referencing feature will work for wikitext and Visual Editor and will enhance the existing reference system.
We are planning to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. Now we are looking for wikis who would like to try it first hand, starting in a couple of weeks. As a pilot wiki, you’d be among the few first wikis who can use sub-referencing. During the pilot phase, changes to the feature are expected, and your feedback will help us improve it. We would be happy if you were interested in becoming one of the first wikis using sub-references!
Let us know what you think or if you have any questions. Thanks and best regards!
