WikiRef is a free/libre and open source cross-platform tool that helps you verify and archive the references on a MediaWiki instance.

Introduction

As a MediaWiki user, you know how important it is to have reliable and accurate references on your pages. But verifying and maintaining these references can be a daunting task. That's where WikiRef comes in - a free and open-source tool that helps you verify and archive the references on your MediaWiki instance.

Key features

• Analyze references site-wise, for specific pages or categories
• Check if references URLs are valid and accessible, so you don't have to worry about dead links
• Verify the accessibility of YouTube video references, their online status and permissions
• Generate a script to download those videos if needed
• Archive non-video sources using the WayBack Machine service
• Publish back to MediaWiki reporting result

How It Works

WikiRef scans your MediaWiki instance and identifies errors, such as dead links, duplicated or malformed references, and more. It provides a report of the identified issues, making it a useful reporting tool. You can use this information to improve the quality of the sourcing on your instance.
