@Shohei KIMURA, would you be able to provide an example? Japanese Wikipedia should be fine I think. I am struggling to understand the wish. Maybe it has something to do with "Footnotes – Footnotes inside templates (most commonly, infoboxes and {{reflist}}) are not visible in the "reuse" dialog" in w:Wikipedia:VisualEditor#Limitations?

I did try reusing "Oppenheimer2013" in w:History of Australia and it seemed to work. That reference was Automatically Created from a Google books url I think, it is not just a bare url. Commander Keane (talk) 22:18, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Apologies for the lack of clarity in my previous explanation. What I intended to express is that, when inserting a citation in the visual editor on the Japanese version of Wikipedia, currently it is only possible to find an existing citation by searching the book title. I would like to suggest making it possible to locate a citation by entering the URL as well. The likely cause is that, under the current specifications, the "URL" parameter of a citation is not included as a searchable field in the input field of the "Reuse" tab.

Ok I think I understand. When reusing a cite in Visual Editor, you can search the url a little bit, but not all of it.

Example:

• url: is https://search.worldcat.org/title/54913331
• page: w:Warrnambool
• result 1: you can search for search.worldcat.org/ and it works ([1] & [7])
• result 2: you can't search for https://search.worldcat.org/title/54913331 or search.worldcat.org/title/54913331

The system seems to truncate the url internally.

This is maybe a bigger problem when using sources from an unfamiliar language, or common urls like books.google. Commander Keane (talk) 07:00, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much for understanding. It seems I was able to convey my intentions accurately. Shohei KIMURA learning 03:18, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
