Saving identical references with different retrieval dates should be more difficult
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

While the problem of totally identical references is more serious (see T224333), this should be taken into account too: if a user tries to add a reference which is already present, although with different retrieval date (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P813), he should at least visualize some alert message discouraging him from publishing; if a bot (or QuickStatements) tries to do it, it should be prevented from doing such edits. Otherwise, we obtain cases like https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q94586689&oldid=1324224486#P569 and https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q94586689&oldid=1324224486#P19.
