It would be neat if this was directly integrated into the editing-page, so like when you press an "add reference" button it would produce a popup with the page and when you press Generate (or whatever it is called) it would automatically add it to the position the cursor is at. Maybe some of our very talented script-writers could give this a think? --Oskar On 7/25/06, Alphax (Wikipedia email) <alphasigmax(a)gmail.com> wrote:

I, like many of my fellow wikipedia editors (present mailinglist excluded), are lazy, petulent and demands that things should be delivered on a platter to us. We're really pretty decent, once you get to know us :P My point is that even with your very neat reference generator and Cite.php, citing is still not the easiest thing to do, especially for people that are either new to wikipedia or simply not that skilled in the technical aspects of modern computers. However, it is also something we need to have, lots and lots of it. A little "add reference" button would be a great help. Then again, I realise that developers are busy and this is fairly low priority. A small change in [[Mediawiki:<<whatever the hell the page is called that controls what's between the edit box and the edit summary box>>]] might be enough. --Oskar
