My main goal is to identify the most cited domains, ideally with their count. Labs tools or similar that could help in this regard are also welcome. I haven't been able to find much so far, and before I dive into the database myself, I'd like to check I haven't missed anything obvious :) The context for this work is "citoid" [1], the new Zotero-based citation tool used by VisualEditor to automatically fetch and format references using only their URL. Zotero works well for many scientific journals, but is weaker with regard to newspapers and non-English sources. By looking into the most used URLs/domains in citations, I'm hoping to identify those that are not yet properly supported by Zotero and, by extension, citoid. This would then help developers focus their efforts on adding support for URLs to the most high-value websites. Any pointers you might have are very welcome :) Thanks, [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Citoid -- Guillaume Paumier _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
