Support for capturing guidance on recommended and discouraged sources in outlines
Closed, ResolvedPublic4 Estimated Story Points

Description

As part of the Article Guidance work (T396029), the proposed workflow includes the "Ask for sources" step (T415484).

Community-created outlines can include a list of items to illustrate recommended and discouraged types of sources. Example of how that could look in wikitext:

<recommended-sources>
    <info>Wildlife research papers</info>
    <info>Conservation organization reports</info>
    <info>News coverage for species</info>
    <source>http://www.wwf.org</source>
    ...
</recommended-sources>

<discouraged-sources>
    <info>Social media posts</info>
    <info>Youtube videos</info>
    <info>Personal blogs</info>
    <source>http://www.youtube.com</source>
    ...
</discouraged-sources>

Example of how that will show as part of the workflow:

@eamedina, once this is available in the patch demo test instance, can you share an example to illustrate how the markup needs to be added and where in the overall outline?
Thanks!
