Add field 'website' to type online.
At the moment, online
only has the field title
, but in many instances, an online source has a title for the specific text quoted as well as for the website as a whole.
I understand, that you can often use article
instead of online
as explained in the manual, still I would suggest to add an additional title field which logically corresponds to journaltitle
or booktitle
. In its current form, without such a field, online
seems not that useful.
Shall we add sitetitle
for this and be done with it? We can add this to the default styles easily with no impact I think.
Usually I try to be a bit more recalcitrant when it comes to data model additions, since I'm not too fond of setting a precedent that means we have to include all kinds of fields.
Does anyone know of other prescriptive style guides that mention website titles (apart from APA)?
That could also help us decide on a position in the driver.

Logically, it should be after \printfield{version}
, since the version should refer to the title
and not the sitetitle
. It should also be before \printlist{organization}%
. But what about the position w.r.t. \printfield{note}
?
I would say before note
as this typically comes after any titles in most styles? Shall we do this then? Seems a small and sensible change to me, @moewew.

The Canadian Uniform Guide to Legal Citation (McGill guide) does. It places it immediately before the URL, after the word "online: ", as in "online: Twitter <t.co/shortlink>".
