[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T76233: make it possible to easily clone an existing reference from the same item

Bene added a comment. I created DuplicateReferences.js which allows to copy a reference and insert it at other places on the item's page. However, when adding a new reference or editing an existing one, the page has to be reload

Bene added a subscriber: Bene. Bene added a comment. One option which comes into my mind is to reuse exactly the same reference, and use an URI for it, so that each reference will become an entity itself. This however requires heavy refactoring of the current system, mainly the datamodel and th

Yair_rand added a comment. This isn't an ideal solution, but adding duplicate or near-duplicate references could be made a lot easier by refining the autocomplete and suggestions systems. If I just added two sources (or maybe even just one) with "Stated in: X, page number: Y", and I click "add

Multichill added a subscriber: Multichill. Multichill added a comment. Not sure if duplicating is the best solution. On Wikipedia we have one reference that we use multiple times. If an url changes, you just have to change it once. If the reference would be duplicated, you would have to do it m

thiemowmde added a comment. Copy and paste is hard-wired to Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in my mind. Is there a way to make this possible? In addition to some kind of clone icon? Or what about a drag and drop operation? TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76233 REPLY HANDLER ACTIONS Reply

Lydia_Pintscher added a comment. @snaterlicious: ideas for how to do the interaction? My first thinking: When adding a new reference have an option to reuse one of the existing ones on the same item. It'd open a list of the existing references to select the one you want to reuse. How do we inco
