Is this about Template:Cite Q and either way how does this proposal relate to that? I think that's also the subject of this talk. Also I wonder if it may be useful to prevent issues of "post-expand include size" in articles that cite many refs(?) Morevoer, I think for this to be viable there would first need to be bulk imports to Wikidata for most scholarly papers and while there are many items for studies on there I found most of the most notable (e.g. top 1000 per month by altmetrics) are not in Wikidata even years after publication. Related post here. Lastly, I think it may be difficult to implement with lots of caveats (such as maybe more difficult to detect and prevent vandalism) with no clear or no large usefulness where most of the practical things are implemented to some degree using citation cleanup methods like CitationBot & Citoid & reFill that auto-generate or auto-improve references. More clarity on all of these subjects would be great, I'm certainly interested in where this goes. Prototyperspective (talk) 16:43, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
