In the short term, this is a reason why the Visual Editor needs to cater for wiki markup to be reprocessed as required.
Hopefully the VE Template Editor has been designed for clipboard interaction and this will be easy to cater for. (Otherwise, again we've been foisted a pre-alpha version masquerading as a beta.) As I remember the last time I used the Trove cite (flukily exactly one year ago today), I needed to return the title to edit case and remove the underscores in the wikilink for the newspaper. Either I'm remembering incorrectly or you've fixed the title capitalisation, because only the underscores remain when I've regenerated the cites today. In case you want the example, I inserted two cites across these three edits: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Renfrey_Potts&diff=506203537&oldid=498866518 And I think I must be remembering the title casing incorrectly. My previous main use of NLA cites is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_Casey where again the only differences between the cites as I entered them and as they are generated today are the actual newspaper wikilink and the accessdate. -- Regards, Mark Hurd, B.Sc.(Ma.)(Hons.)
