Suggestion

Not so much a bug as a pair of suggestions. In this edit the bot added a (correct) bibcode field to a reference. However it a) ignored an already existing but empty |bibcode= field within the same citation template, and b) added the field in horizontal layout, whilst the rest of the fields in that template are in vertical layout. It would be nice if the bot could recognise both of these and change its behaviour accordingly. Modest Genius 16:33, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

That's a somewhat older version of the code. The current version inserts bibcodes at the correct place. Figuring out whether things should be on the same line or on a new line isn't yet implemented, but it's on the list of things to do.
