A lot of this already exists in the cite toolbar on the English Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cite_toolbar_2.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Citing_sources_tutorial,_part_2.ogv It's very en.wp specific (because the templates are), and the usability is still a bit poor. It's one of those low-hanging fruit things where a little bit of effort could go a long way. -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
