This is cool for the reference enthusiasts:
"VisualEditor will now automatically create a link when you type in or paste an ISBN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Book_Number, PMID https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PMID, or RFC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_Comments#Production_and_evolution.

Could this be included in a WMF social media post? I anticipate that relatively few people will test the new functionality, but the message feeds into the theme of helping users to understand that Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that (almost) anyone can edit. Readers of social media who would be especially valuable contributors because they understand what ISBNs and PMIDs are, might take an interest if this news is sent over the social media channels.
Hi Pine
Thanks for the suggestion! I think this is a little too specific/technical for our general Wikimedia accounts and more appropriate for on-wiki channels for now. We also are doing some planning right now about how to get the word out about VE to a more general audience.

Ok, I defer to the SCM.
By the way, Bluerasberry, can you let the WikiProject Med folks know about this?
(Peaceray is a fan of DOIs so I hope that similar functionality is created for those in the future.)

Hi Pine,
This would be a good news story for the GLAM community and I suspect education as well. Is there a signpost article I can post on a couple of GLAM Facebook groups?

Good idea. You could post notes in the Facebook groups that link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2015-09-02/Techno... which is currently in draft form. You could also consider adding a note in the "This Month in GLAM" newsletter, and the next "This Month in Education" newsletter.
