Add more reference button

Button for adding more reference does not work, or rather it works only once, adding max 5 different referencies.

Some catalogues have numerous variants listed separately, especially in medieval times and more referencies would help in searches.

I agree that we may need more. Some coins may have really more than 5 references, when not counting these Medieval variations (even if in this case I'm using an alternative like in Lorraine or China).

For me it's not a bug but an improvement, I guess this is a planned limit.

I have just used a hyphen with this coin it may not be good for searching but I don't believe many will search with those reference numbers in the first place.

If there was something like drop-down menu for references, it would be ok to list all of them.

​Same issue with China - Empire.

This is indeed a limitation of the current way of handling references.

So this confirms my thoughts: a voluntary limitation of reference numbers.

However as we may face some coins with numerous catalogs (this would open the way to register new catalogs like a German catalog of Roman coins aka. MRK, often found in some auction websites), should it be useful to extend to 10-12 catalogues?
For now, for the Roman example, I may combine RCV, RIC, Cohen, sometimes RSC and if lucky RPC (rare as usually for Provincial), LRBC or BMC RE. No place for MRK or anything else for now.
And sometimes, I've an issue about Viminacium coinage with not jointly numbered references. This would be really useful for my own use, and maybe for some other referees with numerous catalogs.

Anyway for China, I would need much more to allow research by catalogue, but for some coins, there can have more than 20 variation references of the same coin... Maybe too much?

... Maybe too much?

​And after 10-12, what next, 15-20? 40?

My personal view is the fewer, the better, otherwise it becomes too cluttered, too messy and without benefit. How many coin catalogues are there out there - one for each language perhaps.

Take UK or England, for example. My view is that Spink is the official reference for these coins and of course Krause is generally accepted as the universal, all-round catalogue so it is these two references that should be quoted. How does the catalogue benefit by adding more and more references from other, less relevant or authoritative sources.

So on that basis, should we not say that each country should feature the Krause reference, since that is the original format on which Numista's structure is based, along with the accepted specialist reference for that country?

One other thought - if we need to add more references to a single listing, should that listing not then be broken down into two or more separate listings to make them more specific and less all-encompassing?

This is obviously only my personal opinion but I feel that adding too many spurious references makes the catalogue less relevant and debases it within the numismatic community.

non, 10-12 is probably the usual maximum.

Krause plus specialist sounds best to me personally.
