Bug ID: 55855
Summary: Reference dialog not interpreting citation template
correctly
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Intention: To copy a reference (copied from en.wp's article on [[Vanilla]]),
using the "+" system within the transclusion editor into another article
(Simple English's [[Vanilla]]).
Expectation: That the ref dialog box would display the citation correctly.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Click the menu item to insert a reference.
2) Click the transclusion item to insert a template.
3) Click the "+" and the "[ ]" to insert 'content' rather than individual
parameters.
4) Paste in the citation template, copied out of the English Wikipedia. The
citation template entered was:
{{cite web | title = FAO's Statistical Database - FAOSTAT | year = 2011 | url =
http://faostat3.fao.org}}
5) Click "Apply changes".
Result:
See
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:VisualEditor_Oct_2013_ref_dialog_box_with_oddly_formatted_citation_template.png
It should have displayed within the reference dialog box as:
"FAO's Statistical Database - FAOSTAT". 2011.
with the first part being the link. Instead, it added a second copy of the URL
at the end:
"FAO's Statistical Database - FAOSTAT". 2011. http://faostat3.fao.org/
