Topic on Help talk:VisualEditor/User guide/Citations-Full

I'm a new contributor and I saw on Phabricator that volunteers are required for completion of this page. I've made a draft in my sandbox here if a volunteer for the task is still needed. If it looks okay and complete then I can add translation tags, if not, I can make the required changes. Thanks.

@Mvolz (WMF), @Whatamidoing (WMF), ping!

😊 Thank you, @Jeropbrenda, for taking this on. Overall, it looks very good to me. Two things:

• Could you please test the instructions at User:Jeropbrenda/Sandbox/CitationWithCitoid#Manually edit a template-built footnote? I'm not sure that works any longer.
• Have you seen the Qqx trick for MediaWiki? I used it to find the auto-translating codes for the "Insert" menu. The code for that one is {{int:visualeditor-toolbar-insert}}. The "int:" part stands for "internationalization". It would be helpful to the translators if you can find and add as many of those codes as possible. (Keep in mind that "Insert" on the toolbar and the same word on a button might sometimes differ in translations, so each item has to get its own code.)

@John Broughton, would you please have a look, too? I really value your expertise in documentation writing, and it's easiest to make changes now, before it gets marked for translation.

• @Whatamidoing (WMF)Thank you for the feedback! The instructions at User:Jeropbrenda/Sandbox/CitationWithCitoid#Manually edit a template-built footnote didn't work for me either and I was doing more research about earlier versions to see if they worked previously. Should I remove that section?
• Thanks for the Qqx trick tip. I'm looking into it :)

@Whatamidoing (WMF) I've added the auto-translating codes and removed the section about manually editing a template-built footnote.

I've also added a note mentioning the limitation that individual footnotes can't be selected by clicking on the references list, as suggested by @Trizek-WMF.

This looks good. Would you like to start integrating it into the help page? To make it easier to understand the changes later, I recommend doing one section at a time, in separate edits.

Also, should we keep the ==Toolbar== bit (just the image and the first sentence – in case anyone is uncertain where to find those Cite buttons)?

@Whatamidoing (WMF) I have added the toolbar section and integrated the page into the help page
