Need: Predict what an element is doing on click
Problem: "Autofill" does not tell what will be autofilled based on what
Solutions:
This is fixed in my fork of CiteTool:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:MichaelSchoenitzer/CiteTool
May/Should I close this ticket?
Theoretically yes :). You can open a pull request here: https://github.com/filbertkm/wikidata-citetool/pulls
Although this ticket actually conflicts with my own ideas about how the button should work. The button popping into existence when you select the type (doi/reference url) is bad UI; it should be grayed out and just be activated/enabled. However if we do it that way then having the title depend on the type selected (doi/reference url) doesn't work because the button will already exist before selection.

We would need to review the solution/UI (separately of the code) anyway before we merge it.
I mean, that's dependant on the process being under WMDE control, but the repo is on Katie's personal github and she's no longer with WMDE (I think!) - should the repo be moved to the WMDE org?
Yes, also now there exist already 3 different versions, that will be really hard to merge. Mvolz and I did a lot of work twofold without knowing of each. A typical wikimedia-userscript fail and showing how badly broken the hole system is – especially at wikidata where nothing works without using dozens of gadgets scripts and tool…
We should clean up this mess and get it into a gadget so that people can finally use it and that we will finally get some proper sources into Wikidata.
