Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/References/reply (2)

Perhaps also point out - or think about - the differences between links and references, since this is not intuitive by simply having two icons or two texts saying respectivly 'links' and 'references'.

Imagine a person editing a page (his/her inner voice): ''I want to add a reference - yes, it is a link to the reference --> ergo, it is logical to click the link icon, --- but it is also equally logical to click the reference icon. ''

In the example above the person is indifferent in his choice of link/reference - while the formally correct way to add the reference, would be to click the reference. Creating these choice-indifference-situations will lead to extra editing work afterwards (correcting links that should have been references), since users will choose randomly or in some other unfortunate way.

Hope my comment makes sense - otherwise just write me. I'll love to help out on this (comments/testing/design). Can i "subscribe" to that bug and follow as you progress or ... ?
