Here are some attempts at making more detailed source refences. A quite random example has been chosen to be used here.

Current
Her birthday was the 16th of August. (PROSE: Our Tune)

Her birthday was the 16th of August. (PROSE: Our Tune (short story))

V1 - Manual
Her birthday was the 16th of August. (PROSE: Our Tune + Part of Iris: Fifteen from Iris Wildthyme published by Obverse Books in 2013.)

Her birthday was the 16th of August. (PROSE: Our Tune + Part of Iris: Fifteen from Iris Wildthyme (series) published by Obverse Books in 2013.)

Issues
According to MediaWiki's website, this can be confusing for users using a screen reader. Every collapsible is open for a short amount of time while the page loads before closing which, on a larger page using this a lot, would cause the page to jump a lot.

As a Template
+  by | in (releases).

Usage
Anthology and series are optional. ID, publisher and year are required. Please do not link. Please include dab terms for anthology, series and publisher but not year. The ID can be any string. However, it must not be used for this template anywhere else on the page.

Example
(PROSE: Our Tune (short story) )

V2 - Automated
This should be visually identical to the above. However, it needs a fair amount of prior work to function correctly. Therefore, it does not work at all in its current state. There is more information on this in this section.

For this to work at all, a lot of prior work needs to be done with Semantic MediaWiki annotations. By far the best solution (in terms of future-proofing and best practises) is too update Infobox Story. However, this would require changing every page using this template which is, well, a lot. It might be possible to do this without changing every page, but it wouldn't be as good. Having said all of this, I 100% think putting in this work would be worth it as it would make some other cool stuff possible as well.

Usage
Both arguments here are required. S is the story being used as a source. Please give it unlinked and with dab terms. ID can be any string of text. It must not be used with this template anywhere else on the page.
