[Bug 57804] Global, better URL to citation conversion functionality
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57804 --- Comment #5 from marielle.v...@gmail.com --- John- thank you for the links, they were very helpful! The project for an engine to provide citations to VE was approved for the May 2014 round for OPW. Extension is tentatively called https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CiteURLEngine although I'm not set on the name. Since you mention NYTimes, they're proving to be quite problematic because they treat scrapers as logged out users (so scrapers get redirected to a log-in page), and they've also disallowed caching by Google so you can't use the cached page as a back-up solution. If anyone has any ideas let me know! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57804 --- Comment #4 from John Broughton johnbrough...@comcast.net --- Marielle - I'd be happy to work with you on nailing down the specs, and I'd also be happy to assist with QA (testing). If you do decide to create a bot to clean up naked urls in references/citations, I can also assist you with getting permission to run the bot at en.wikipedia.org (per [[WP:BOTREQ]]). However, I can't offer technical assistance - it's been far too many years since I did programming, in languages that aren't particularly useful today. Finally, I note that the list of existing tools, at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Improving_URL_citations_on_WikiMedia_(OPW_Project) , omits a significant number of things. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Citation_tools for a more comprehensive list, and also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:EIW#Citetools . -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57804 --- Comment #3 from marielle.v...@gmail.com --- Hi, This project was listed as a possible project for the FOSS Outreach Program for Women and I'd very much like to work on it. I've written a very rough proposal here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Improving_URL_citations_on_WikiMedia_(OPW_Project) However, I would need a mentor to help nail down the specs of the project and then oversee it. I don't to step on anyone's toes regarding the project Erik mentioned (a WMF web service to provide citations to both the visual editor and the wikitext editor)- it sounds like some of what I proposed might replicate that. I'd be happy to work on this from that angle as well but I'm not sure what other people have done already. Is there anyone on this thread that could mentor such a project?

It'd be ideal to be able to share code with Zotero which has a comprehensive suite of URL-to-citation translators already. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
