To edit an existing reference, click on the [number] where it appears in the text. You will see either a "Reference icon", or the icon (and name) for the template that was used to create this reference. Clicking on "Edit" button opens a "template mini-editor" dialog where you can edit the information for that reference.

Inside the template mini-editor, you change the information in fields by typing in the boxes.

To add a new piece of information (for example, the publication date), click on "⧼visualeditor-dialog-transclusion-add-param⧽", which is at the very bottom of the mini-editor.

When you're done editing the reference, click "Apply changes". Remember, you'll still need to then save your changes!
