Hi,
I am trying to enhance the wikimedia syntax to
include a simple easy to use
citation format. This will include an automatically
generated reference page
Amruta,
There seem to be a couple proposed projects already
addressing this issue, the most prominent being
Wikicite:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikicite
There is also a proposal for storing relational data
entered through a wiki called Wikidata:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata
I think it would be best to try and use these projects
as foundations for any further work with regard to
references/citations. Thanks.
