Hi, I am interested in implementing a web-article a la scientific journal paper extension or ... - not sure if extension mechanism can help here.
Just want to be able to write a page and insert bibtex reference id's and have mediawiki take care of numbering references and displaying bibliography at the bottom of the page plus maybe extra embellishments - like giving a way to copy citation and a url to the cited articles in a way that <bibtex> and <bibwiki> extensions do.
Example
wikitext: .... valuable experiments in the NMR arsenal <bibref>shr1971rrn, neu1989fr,mer1982pns</bibref>
<bibliography/>
when printed it should look like a real journal paper.
I have developed such an extension (not published yet), that I use for this purpose. I use bibtex references from a separate document in the same wiki as a source for references (so that they can be reused etc). it makes the list as you describe, and you get a bibliography at the end, and this look like a scientific paper, but the page as such look like a mediawiki page.
In addition to me, the ProcessCite (by Jim Hu) also does something similar, but does not use BibTex I think. Since I have spent more time actually using the system than preparing it for use by others, I have not released it yet, but this should be quite easy. Ideally the my project an processcite should have been merged, since they have somewhat complimentary features.
I will put it out as it is quite soon (as it is), since this seems like an extension many people want.
