Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Citations/Use automatic references outside of citations

Random proposal ►◄ Citations The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Use automatic references outside of citations

Problem: When I use the "Source" button, I can choose an automatic mode where I enter an ISBN number and a complete reference is generated. It's very convenient. When I have to write the bibliography, I would like to have the same automation rather than manually completing all the fields of the "Book" or "Article" template (or inserting a dummy note with the Source button, copying the generated reference and delete the note).
Proposed solution: Make the automatic tool available other than via the "Source" button.
Who would benefit: Editors when editing a bibliography.

Discussion

Quick summary: be able to call Citoid outside the "Cite" button. This sounds like a fantastic idea and probably not "too" hard (since Citoid already exist). Cheers, VIGNERON * ^discut. 19:43, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I changed the title, to make it clearer. (Not that the distinction between 'citation' and 'reference' is always very clear!) SWilson (WMF) (talk) 01:12, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support Tool should be accessible to all editors regardless of editor used. 1) initiate tool, 2) enter search parameter(s), 3) return citation(s) in a format easily added via editor being used. User-duck (talk) 18:03, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
