Good idea. You could post notes in the Facebook groups that link to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2015-09-02/Techn…
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.

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

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

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.
