How easy would it be for you to support Template:Cite doi and related templates? Martin (Smith609 – Talk) 14:06, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fairly easy. I actually wrote an explanation with all the steps. I've noted your suggestion as issue 105. If you'd like, you can do it yourself then post the changes to the issue. If not, I'll get to it as soon as I can. Superm401 - Talk 23:42, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Google Chrome

Ok, I'm reporting that there is another bug in ProveIt. When I go to a section and click an "[edit]" tab, ProveIt suddenly appears on top of the Wikipedia logo for a moment, then jumps back to where it's supposed to be, on the bottom right corner. Then, I click "Add a Reference" and it closes, I click the little arrow that opens it up, though it's still closed. The version of Chrome I use is 8.0.552, for Windows Vista (now I'm on my Vista). It was not a stable release, at the time. Downloaded on December 4, 2010. --Perseus, Son of Zeus 22:22, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've noted this as issue 103. I have a basic idea about the most likely cause. Superm401 - Talk 23:30, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hidden Find results

In Firefox 3.6.13, on Mac system 10.4.11, as I type Command-G to repeat a search for a text string, the highlighted text is right at the bottom of the edit window, where it is "covered" by Proveit, even when minimized. It would be desirable to be able to hide Proveit completely to get round this—it's tiresome to have to change your preferences every time you want to either search for something or reference something, tasks which are often simultaneous anyway.

Thanks. I've noted this as issue 104. Superm401 - Talk 23:36, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vouch button

Could a "vouch for it" button be added where an editor could vouch for a reference in a particular revision?Smallman12q (talk) 13:25, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To implement something like this, we would first need to decide what changes to the Wikipedia site (or other database) would be made in response, on the back end. We wouldn't want to update the article, so we would need to keep track of it elsewhere, then provide some sort of GUI for displaying the people who are vouching.
