Community Wishlist Survey 2021/Bots and gadgets/Bibliographic bot for Wikidata

Random proposal ►◄ Bots and gadgets The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Bibliographic bot for Wikidata

Problem: Many references on Wikidata only consist of an URL (P854).
Who would benefit: Wikidata and all projects using its data
Proposed solution: Based on reference URL, retrieve (with a bot?) related information (title, language, publication date, author, page, ISBN/ISSN, etc.) and add them to the reference. Data to be added will depend on the source type (book, article, website, etc.).

I think citoid for Wikidata could help here (it's being worked on if I am not mistaken). --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 09:21, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
So, like an automatic reFill? --Count Count (talk) 19:35, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This brings back to mind the prototype wikidata:User:Aude/citoid.js (which as far as I know has not been working for ages, but used to work very well indeed). Jean-Fred (talk) 15:14, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support For Wikidata to ever get buy-in from en-WP and other large projects, the two biggest problems it needs to solve are vandalism and referencing. This would be a big step forward regarding the latter. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 04:19, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This doesn't need a MediaWiki developer, a bot could do this, which could be done by the community. The more fundamental problem is that there are a lot of statements on Wikidata that don't even have a URL providing a reference. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 21:02, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
