As a Wikipedia editor when I add references I can refer to different pages of the same work in an efficient way so that I don’t need to type out the whole name of the work each time I want to refer to it.**Survey**: 2013 and 2015

Use Case 1: Referring to different pages of the same work in one article- German: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Technische_W%C3%BCnsche/Topw%C3%BCnsche/Erweiterung_der_Einzelnachweise
**Insights**:
** Adding a "page"parameter to the <ref>-Extension- There are very different styles of referencing. Some prefer
** See also T15127 - long references: when you move parts of the text, the references are still defined. Also, when reading through the wikitext, you don't need to scroll anywhere to find out what is referenced
- short references: The wikitext syntax is much cleaner and shorter. Also you don't need to repeat what you have written --> less chances for errors
- Often times, templates are used for referencing
- The solution should not only cater to pages, but also to e.g. articles of a blog, parts of the bible etc. - i.e. it should allow any kind of specification
Use Case 2: Referring to the same work in many articles**Plan**:
** Groundwork will be done via Wikidata, additional Lua-integration to be considered- Implement an "extends" attribute for the ref tag both in parsoid and in the cite extension
** See also template [Vorlage:rp](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:Rp) and template [Vorlage:BibRecord](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:BibRecord)- Make this usable not only with wikitext, but also through the Visual Editor
