Somehow, the workflow for editing footnotes that make use of the "citeer web" template on nlwiki (equivalent of "cite web") changed in the past 24 hours. This may also apply to other projects, but I cannot confirm whether the old situation was the same there.

Before this change, you could simply edit the fields of "citeer web" by clicking on the footnote number in the text, and a popup with the fields would appear. This has now changed to a situation where a popup with the reference text appears. This reference text is still produced by "citeer web", but to edit those fields, you have to click on the text and then edit the template fields in yet another popup.

That is two popups on top of each other, without a clear direction that you have to take this second step. It is easy to try to edit the text as if it is raw text, this is a confusing situation for editors.

I don't know if this is caused by a change in software or locally - but at least the template itself was not edited. Example available on https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebruiker:Effeietsanders/Kladblok if you want to try it out.
