 Well,  no newbie will wake up and say: "I want to place references  in
Wikipedia articles today" - they do because one of us asked them to do. And
all (maybe not all but most of) us know the software, and don't cost more
of  our time ask them to use it. In fact a message explaining how to use
the software is far more simple than one explaining how to insert the
{{cite web}} template (and I know because I already send both to newbies).
