[edit] Useful tools

References

Add pre-formatted references directly from a Google Scholar interface. Use {{Cite}}-o-matic here.

Create references from DOIs

Example:

1. Place {{cite journal | doi = 10.1086/367774}} into Wikipedia:Sandbox and save the page
2. Visit DOI bot and enter "Wikipedia:Sandbox" in the article box
3. Click go, watch the bot work, and check the results!

Links

To add two links to each page's "toolbox", informing you how much traffic a page receives and providing a one-click access to DOI bot, copy this code:

importScript("User:Smith609/toolbox.js");

to the end of Special:MyPage/monobook.js.

Save the page and press Ctrl-F5 to clear your browser's cache.

Show the names of references instead of their numbers

To make references appear in the style ^{[Example 2000]} rather than ^[1], put this code in your monobook.js (see instructions for "links" above)

importScript("User:Smith609/refsByName.js");
