When using Trove I use the cite template, for everything I source from Trove, I havent sourced images form Trove as I get them from the source site though I do find them through Trove.
As for functionality, making or changing to suit the requirements of Visual editor isnt a good idea as Nick pointed out most users still edit on the source page rather then through visual editor, citation and templates are still problematic in visual editor, IHMO it'd be too soon in the process to change to be functional with VE because that area hasnt been satisfactorily resolved until it is it'd be a waste of trove resources as it'd potentially be outdated very quickly. I suggest while being aware of the change to VE the source code is going to be well utilized in the next 1 year or 2 even further into the future still be preferred by editors. Given your(NLA) relationship with WMAU editors and WMF its logical to be preparing for the change but I'd wait until the community actually approaches Trove to make the change On 7 August 2013 18:01, Nick Dowling <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Liam, > > I've used Trove for quite a few articles.
