Talk:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Improve reFill, make it work with PDFs
Latest comment: 2 days ago by Trigenibinion
This should probably be refocused more generally as "improve automatic citation tools" or "improve Citoid" (Citoid is the backend most of these tools rely on). * Pppery * it has begun 20:33, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks @Pppery for this feedback. @Trigenibinion, this wish is both too broad and too specific, in asking to "Improve ReFill" and "make it open in a separate browser tab."
- Could you add more specifications regarding the challenges you face, and the problems you encounter? From there, we can start to evaluate what a viable solution may look like. JWheeler-WMF (talk) 16:08, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

- D'oh! I've clearly been reading too many wishes. Still, it's unclear exactly what problems you'd like ReFill to solve beyond UX improvements. Given your other submission re: ProveIt, it sounds like there are some underlying challenges or limitations to how citations work on Wikipedia.. JWheeler-WMF (talk) 16:33, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. I'm not sure if this is what Trigenibinion is going for (this might be a new wish), but see w:WP:AGCR. * Pppery * it has begun 16:54, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- The main problem with reFill is that it does not handle PDFs. Trigenibinion (talk) 17:25, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
