Hi,
I have been using more and more VE during the last months, only reverting to source editor to switch (reference) templates (cite web to cite book for ex). Keep on the good work!
I would find useful to see a preview of a shortened reference by hovering over its footnote marker, when editing, instead of the standard Template message. If you have several refs next to each other, you need to click all of them until you find the one you want, considering that they disappear from the reference list in VE mode.
Today when clicking on the footnote marker, VE shows the following message "Template / Generated from: sfn" or "Template / Generated from: harvnb". A preview would be more useful imho. For ex:
- code: {sfn|Doe|2021|p=101}
- VE message now: Template / Generated from: sfn (+ edit button)
- Proposed output: Doe 2021, p. 101 (+ edit button)
Thanks!
