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.
