List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):
- Go to visual editor in English Wikipedia
- Add a citation
- Select automatic
- Paste url (examples bellow)
- Insert
- Check values in last and first authors name
What happens?:
It seems that there are some issue with the automatic citation utility in the visual editor. In some URLs the last/first fields get "contaminated" with the date field.
For example the url : https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/03/it-s-very-special-picture-why-vaccine-safety-experts-put-brakes-astrazeneca-s-covid-19 renders as :
Vogel, Gretchen; KupferschmidtMar. 17, Kai; 2021; Pm, 1:30 (2021-03-17). "'It's a very special picture.' Why vaccine safety experts put the brakes on AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine". Science | AAAS. Retrieved 2021-04-16.
And the url : https://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/15-gretsch-electric-guitar-stars-240229, gives this :
<ref>{{Cite web|last=March 2010|first=The MusicRadar team 18|title=15 ...This are two examples, I have found the issue also in others URLs. This is happening approximately since three days ago.
What should have happened instead?:
Obviously, the date must go to its corresponding field not to the author's name
Software version (if not a Wikimedia wiki), browser information, screenshots, other information, etc:
I've found the problem in some URLs, both in Chrome and Firefox Wikipedia web, running in a Android phone.
