If an easy-to-use Citation Reference Toolbar form emerges as you'd like in a Wikipedia infobox proposal, Erika (and Wikidatans), I wonder, and am asking how, in general, it could code for all 358 languages in Wikipedia/Wikidata with translation (and anticipate all 8k languages with unicode eventually)? Also how could folks write apps on this to create referencing programs for a academic papers (e.g. in the Chicago Manual of Style style, or the American Chemical Engineering citation style - or in similar styles in Japanese or Swedish? - there are possibly 10s of thousands of these citation styles in many languages in many academic disciplines).
Dario shared this 2 days ago - http://allourideas.org/wikidata/results - and it's good to see that a "Wizard-style dialog for entering references" in 9 out of 10 on a list of "What's the one thing you wish Wikidata had or would do but doesn't yet?" ... all in a little info box bridge between wiki and wikidata ... 'tis a lot to ask of a little info box :) Thanks, Scott On Wed, Aug 3, 2016 at 6:44 PM, Brill Lyle <wp.brilll...@gmail.com> wrote: > Because this proposal involves depreciating the infobox to Wikipedia -- my > biggest concern -- I changed my endorsement to Weak Support but under no > circumstances implement on English Wikipedia.
