           Summary: customisable message for reference dialog
           Product: VisualEditor
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

One of the biggest interface issue is the new reference dialog. The use is
presented with a window and no real guidance on what to do. 

Some brief instructions guiding the user to choose an appropriate citation
template would be good. This obviously needs to be customisable on a wiki
basis. For en.wikipedia you could have something like

"To add a reference please choose a citation template like {{cite web}}, {{cite
journal}}, {{cite book}} or {{cite news}}. Click the jigsaw icon to insert one
of these templates."

The message could be specified by a page in the MediaWiki: namespace.
