Description

User story

When editing an article's metadata, I see there is a custom citation field. To decide whether I need to go to the trouble of filling this in, I would like to be able to preview the citation that will be generated automatically. However, I may not be able to do so if the article is not published yet or I cannot see the preview.

Proposed solution

Above the custom citation field on the Edit Metadata page, render the automatic citation with a label "Auto-generated citation".

Start at the Edit Metadata page and inspect how the custom citation field is rendered and how the automatic citation is generated. Render the automatic citation above the custom field with the label "Auto-generated citation", then verify the preview is available when editing an article.
