Wikipedia:Community feature requests/Add 'Open Access' tickbox to RefToolbar


 * Problem: When adding references there is no option to flag them as open access
 * Proposed solution: Add a tickbox to RefToolbar (or just it's 'journal citation' section). When ticked |doi-access=free is added to the string produced
 * Who would benefit: Primarily the readers and editors of scientific articles and anyone else committed to 'open access'
 * Category: Citations
 * More comments: Scientific articles mostly use academic journals as references and >90% of these are pay-walled, however many editors focus on finding the 10% which are Open Access. Journal which are open access are clearly shown as such on the publisher website - we know what we're adding. Currently OA tags mostly end up getting added by 'Citation bot' but this is resource heavy.
