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?
Regards
Jonathan

This is cool for the reference enthusiasts:
"VisualEditor will now automatically create a link when you type in or paste an
ISBN, PMID, or RFC. [48][49]"
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.
