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
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.

Subject: [Social-media] Improved reference handling in VisualEditor,
highlighted in this week's Tech News
To: Social media discussion list for Wikimedia projects <

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>.

<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T109498>
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.
