 One of the main issues is when using the wikitext editor on Wikipedia.
Most of the editors complain about unreadable references ({{cite
Q|Q29581755}}), but in order to be readable, the wikitext editor should
have some sort of mechanism to display more information about the item. I
don't know if with the current Wikitext editor it is doable, however I
think it is worth exploring.
