Hello,
Thanks to Arnav for mentioning this issue. I was planning to send an email here about this "Cite" tool, because i am facing the same problem in Bengali Wikipedia. As i am not an administrator there i can not create any page in mediawiki name space.But I have tried to add external js but it did not work.
So it will be really helpful if the tool is activated. And if a bug report is required then please let me know.
thanks nasir khan user:nasir8891

Hello everyone,
On English Wikipedia in editing window, Reftoolbar is available for every user by default, which includes button called "Cite". On clicking this a drop down menu comes with Template, where one can select the particular template like Cite Web, Cite News, Cite Book etc.
And after selecting one, the window pops up and the editor fills in the details needed for the particular citation. This makes new editors job easy while putting the proper citations for the articles and need not worry about the syntax of Wiki markup.
As far as I know, this thing is not available for Indic Wikipedia, can this be made possible on Indic too ? I am specially interested in Gujarati (GU) Wikipedia, having this Citation Template and toolbar makes editors job lot more handy and easy.
This Mailing list was introduced to me by Amir in one Translation sprint organized in Pune, India a few weeks ago. Do I need to file a bug report on bugzilla for this or what should I do ? Please do guide me.
Please ignore this message if I am asking something irrelevant at wrong place and please do tell me where to ask for it.
