Problem: I frequently add new web citations via firefox extensions such as Markor. apk and haven't found any link capture application that outputs link to Clipboard as wiki-text.
Who would benefit: Markdown citeweb user
Proposed solution: A new /user.js + /user.css toggle and or extension.

Phabricator tickets: N/A: If only user-javascript without needing any other than simple documentation.
There's some future where this will be possible directly on the wiki, but of course that day is not today. Would be a neat thing to have a converter today of course, but I'm not sure of the practicality or driving need. --Izno (talk) 18:07, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Can you link the tool you use? It's unclear to me what difficulty you're describing. If you are looking to generate web citations from webpages and convert to wikitext, you can use Zotero, which has many translators for specific websites. Different wikis have tools based on Citoid, which uses Zotero's translators to generate citations for the Visual Editor. Sounds like you're looking for that?

Zotero will also auto-retrieve and format metadata like title, authors, etc.. On-wiki, Citoid does the same. Can you explain how this differs from what you are looking for, Mkouklis(2)? HLHJ (talk) 21:40, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Strong support Having markdown support would be great -- and will be much better than the VE or the 2017 editor. acagastya 16:23, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
