Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/Citing sources is really difficult in VisualEditor!

Hello; I'm a fairly new user (< 1 year) and I'm motivated (and trying!) to improve some articles, but the VisualEditor citation tools are just not usable, and I really don't have the time to learn source editing. I know that you guys have a busy schedule, but I just wanted to leave this message here to let you know that it's a bottleneck, at least for me.

The main problem I am having with the tool is that shortened footnotes or similar are not supported, so I can't reference multiple pages from the same source, meaning I can't write the article. There are also problems with intuitive selection behaviour in reflist templates and all sorts of other stuff. Is there a "fix citation tools" task on the roadmap? I couldn't see one.

Anyway, I hope I'm not telling you things you already know. Thank you for making this tool; in a few years I'm sure Wikipedia will regain some new editors because of it.
