Description Juan de Vojníkov 2014-02-05 08:50:44 UTC
Regarding bug no 52135, I would like to propose to create easier way to add references. Reference templates such as citation from book or article are one of the basic pillars of Wikipedia. One may argue, that also infoboxes are used pretty often, but infoboxes inclued repeated structure information, which might be once operated by Wikidata, while references are crucial to the basices of Wikipedia. The actuall system, when the newbie is somehow able to load proper template to reference dialog box and then should add in unknown parameters is for not just newbies unusefull.

This is close to bug 60768, so I'm merging the two together (and have renamed it a little).
