Round 8[edit]

Improving URL citations on Wikimedia[edit]

Aims to make citing sources in VisualEditor easier by generating a citation given a unique identifier such as a URL or DOI.

  • Student: Marielle Volz
  • Mentors: James Forrester, Trevor Parscal, Gabriel Wicke, Matthew Walker
  • Wrap-up blogpost: Link
  • Final Report: Link
  • Status: Completed with working prototype, but the prototype required hard-coding of templates and so was not usable in a general manner on wikis at the end of the internship. Changes to TemplateData extension to allow it to work in a non-hard coded way were merged in Nov 2014 (4 months after internship completion). Entire project went into production in March 2015. Extension has been deployed on all language wikis, although not all language wikis have configured it. Phabricator board for project here.
