Description WhatamIdoing 2014-08-13 22:13:52 UTC
Goal:   

Add something to an existing citation that the template shouldn't include, like a {{verify credibility}} tag.


Steps to reproduce:

1.  Open a page containing a {{cite book}} template.

2.  Click on the citation to edit it.

3.  Think, "Um, I don't actually want this ''in'' the template; I want this ''after'' the template."

4.  Give up.


This can be done, if you happen to know that the thing to do is to select the ref, ignore the tag that pops up, go to the Cite menu, and choose Basic.  But the ability to edit these refs would be more discoverable if the Cite Book dialog had a button at the bottom for "Use reference editor".
