Turabian 8th Edition: Option for Web Page Citation Missing from New Item Button
Hi,
Using the Turabian 8th edition with Zotero, when I click the Add Item > More, I'm given many different options for citation, but "Web Page" is missing.
Instead, I have to choose "Blog Post," and then from the Info tab which appears to the right, I click the Item Type, and then click "Web Page" at the bottom of that list.
Any idea as to when this might get fixed/updated? I use websites all the time for informal research.
Thanks.

As as side note, I love Zotero! Can't believe it's free. (How much space do I have to include PDFs, etc.?)
More discussion on this than you could possibly want here (with every single person asking for it having the same misunderstanding as you): https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/22041/1/what-type-for-a-web-site/#Item_12
But as Aurimas says, we'll likely add this with a warning in the future.
You said, "We could add 'Web Page' to the New Item drop-down in Standalone, but given that it's still possible and better to do it from the Chrome/Safari plugins, the original justification for not including it still applies."
I'm not sure why you couldn't offer more than one way to do something, especially when others have wondered about it, and also when many may not think to right-click on a web-page.
While the right-click option is a faster option, it may not be as discoverable for some. Also, many software programs offer the more common way of doing a task, and then a "power user" method which is typically faster. Yet both are available to the user.
Something to consider.
