Hello,
I have done some searching and cannot find whether or not there is a bibliography snapin or module for mediawiki. I'm the webmaster of multiverse.org http://multiverse.org a site dedicated to Michael Moorcock, and we have a bibliography project coalescing. Our greatest desire is to be able to sort on various bibliographic fields.
Can anyone help me find more information?
Thanks, Berry Sizemore
P.S. There's going to be an Elric of Melnibone movie. :-)

There isn't to my knowledge.

You could write a template, but that would not guarantee structured data. Magnus Manske told me that there is a way of splitting the editpane into different fields by tweaking the php code - he however didn't recommend doing that (you could ask him if you want to risk it). If it has to be within you wiki the best thing to do is wait for wikidata http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata ;))
If the Publications in your Bibliograhy are in a public library and have an ISBN code you could use http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:ISBN_links
I used external solutions: first BibOrb http://biborb.glymn.net/doku.php and then switched to http://www.citeulike.org/ and am very happy with that solution.
