Citoid improvements (Community Wishlist/FA13)
Long-term opportunity
Description
Generating references is a core workflow for anyone seeking to:
- Grow the amount of information Wikipedia contains and/or
- Improve the quality of information already present within Wikipedia
Citoid is a tool many volunteers depend on to do the above and volunteers submitted a range of wishes to improve this critical workflow. Examples include: making it more accessible, integrating it with Wikidata, and expanding the tool to include more reliable sources.
