Integrate Citoid Gadget with Add Reference
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Currently (as of 11. Oct. 2016), the citoid gadget displays an icon (Magnifier glass) aside to the add reference icon.

If a user want's to create a reference it is confusing to have two actions that do (potentially) the same thing.

My suggestion would be to have just one add reference and integrate the citoid gadget as a helper.

So one rough idea would be this:

ReferenceLink.png (680×132 px, 7 KB)

(adding the citoid gadget in the top bar of the reference).
The naming could be different and may also reflect that currently it works only for URLs.

@Lydia_Pintscher Why was this task declined? Seems like a good task for future UI improvement (if even it may be low priority).

@Izno: Sorry I should have added a comment. The integration has been redone so this no longer applies. It now shows up whenever you add a reference URL. We'll concentrate on improving that instead and making it more discoverable.
