Thanks Spencer!
It's nice to be here!

Do you know of any work to build a better reference system for wikitext? It seems there is now enough critical mass for it to be really worth while developing a better system for managing references in MediaWiki. Cheers, --Dan Bolser 06:41, 22 April 2012 (PDT)
 * Combining the Cite.php and Pubmed extensions worked pretty well for us, since almost all our references come from pubmed. Wikipedia has the family of templates, which let you specify all the parameters individually. But this seems like more work for authors. Wikipedia's  and  seem like good compromizes–a bot automatically populates the reference after a short period of time, allowing it to be easily edited.


 * What other features would you request for a wiki reference system? EndNote integration probably isn't going to happen. --Spencer Bliven 14:34, 23 April 2012 (PDT)
