Perhaps the access-date should be autofilled[edit]
Autofill is a highly convenient feature and I am thankful for it. However, I suggest that it also fills access-date. While clicking the "Insert current date" is no major inconvenience, I can't think of a reason not to autofill access-date. Elominius (talk | contributions) 00:10, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
Web citation (RefToolbar) - asking for Additional fill-in[edit]
Asking for change to Web citation (RefToolbar) popup box.
At the URL box, when the magnify glass is clicked, and it fills in additional (such as Title and Website name), can it also fill the Access date? This will be a time-saver as one-less thing to click on.
Asking here instead of at VPT, as I am clueless of how to make the change myself. Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 15:46, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
page and pages parameter info[edit]
The |page= and |pages= parameter info icons are both very small and also give incorrect documentation. Yes, HELP:CS1 is confusing as all hell on this, but |pages= is basically exclusively for citing a journal article or book chapter where the bibliographic info says that the entire piece is located within the publication under the range of these pages. Wheres |page= is used when one wants to cite, in the article, a specific page or pages within the source to support a given piece of prose. These are semantically entirely different things (and you'd think as such that CS1 would allow both to be used in the same template call, and have clear aliases, but no).
RefTemplate's current documentation makes virtually universal mistake (imo entirely the fault of CS1 documentation) of asserting that |page= is for citing one page and |pages= is for citing a range or multiple pages. Unfortunately, bots cannot correct this. But you can at least change the information popup (and make it slightly bigger, and allow both hover and click for ease of mobile use).
