Visualeditor cite reverses author order scientific papers of Nature family
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

When I use the cite functionality in the VisualEditor to cite papers published in any of the journals related to Nature (and I believe some other journals as well, but can't reproduce now), the order of authors is reversed. Furthermore there is an error as {{cite journal}} doesn't accept the date to have a year and a month.

Zotero has confirmed that this error happens on Wikipedia's side: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/FMfcgxwDqfFRhtGHxrStMSTGZqdNJnNw

In my sandbox I've made a minimal working example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Femkemilene/sandbox2
