The German Technical Wishes team is planning to implement a feature we're
calling "book referencing", which supports one level of nested references.
This makes it possible to reference the same book several times in an
article, pointing to various pages, without repeating the full citation.
A more complete description of the feature and a screenshot is available
below, please feel free to comment in Phabricator or on this thread.

There has already been some community discussion, but since we're proposing
a small change to wikitext (the <ref> tag will accept a new attribute), I
thought it would be appropriate to wait for a round of technical feedback
before we begin coding.
Regards,
Adam
