This issue must have been raised before, but I could not find it after significant searching on Phabricator It is very common for me to want to cite a journal article on Wikipedia whose reference I obtain by copy-pasting the human-readable citation from the References section of a PDF, e.g., the text "E. Schrodinger, Proc. Cam. Phil. Soc. 31, 555 (1935)". Pasting this text into Google Scholar returns the correct result with high reliability, and usually it is the //only// result. However, the otherwise-spectacular Citoid plugin for Wikipedia cannot make this deduction. So currently my workflow is to go through Google Scholar and then grab the URL to feed into Citoid, it would be great if this step could be eliminated.
