Description

When I cite different pages from a book within an article, I have to cite the book separately multiple times. We have a "reuse citation" functionality that also works very well in VisualEditor but not for different pages from the same book. See Phabricator tasks phab:T100645 and phab:T15127. Thanks,

NOTE: This task is a proposed project for Google-Summer-of-Code (2016) and Outreachy-Round-12 : GSoC 2016 and Outreachy round 12 is around the corner, and this task is listed as a Possible-Tech-Projects for the same. Projects listed for the internship programs should have a well-defined scope within the timeline of the event, minimum of two mentors, and should take about 2 weeks for a senior developer to complete. Interested in mentoring? Please add your details to the task description. Prospective interns should go through Life of a successful project doc to find out how to come up with a strong proposal for the same.

I've been asked to look at this task for a quick assessment of difficulty.

Though there could be a number of superficially-appealing ways to hack this in (including with an additional parameter on <ref> tags for multiply-used sources), I think at this point adding more complexity to the inline referencing model would be a mis-use of resources, and they could be more effectively used as part of the larger work on creating a structured references mostly being pioneered by @Daniel_Mietchen. Daniel, do you have any thoughts?

This looks like an interesting project to work on for GSoc. Is anyone willing to mentor this project?

For clarity, I think this would be a very very bad idea for a GSoC project.

I find this report extremely unclear as regards the requirements, so I'm merging it to the previous one which is clearer to understand and has less clutter.
