Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/It's too easy to delete citations/reply (3)

Unfortunately not: (a) because according to VisualEditor/status VE isn't going to show a diff if you click Save, and (b) because in any substantial paragraph the change may only be visible if the user scrolls how the diff, which they aren't like to do. Can you see what I changed in this diff? It isn't immediately obvious, especially as VE has made some changes of its own too. My point about the source was that to delete a reference in markup would require selection of the entire extent of the citation, which is a relatively large amount of test, whereas to delete a citation marker using VE you just have to include [21] (or whatever) in a selection that you delete. That's a much easier thing to do in error.
