This script integrates the power of Citation bot with the Wikipedia editing experience.
It provides two ways of interacting with the bot:
- A link in the toolbox will activate User:Citation bot on the page that you are currently viewing. The bot will expand, format and tidy all references on that page.
- A button underneath the edit box (next to "Show Changes") will send the contents of the edit box to the bot, which will process them and return the expanded version. This has two possible uses:
- It allows the manual checking of the bot's output before an article is modified
- You can type a partial citation in to an article (e.g.
{{cite journal|pmid=12345}}), then have the bot expand this to a complete citation before you save the page.
To interact with the bleeding-edge version of the bot, install User:Smith609/citations dev.js (diff).
