en | I constantly use the inline citations, narrative with citation, and household (census) table features. Search FamilySearch is also a favorite. I am probably at least three times as productive with this tool, with the only possible downside that I may be including sources which aren't strictly needed, just because it's so easy. The ability to handle the data formats from a range of web sites and document types is quite impressive. We can always wish for support on even more sites, but I would not want to see that done at the expense of quality, which is currently very good. |

en | This has been working really well, but it doesn't seem to be working for IrishGenealogy.ie anymore. It would be nice if that could be made functional again. |

en | Initial impression is I love it. I'm a person who has been hesitant to use Wikitree as I'm not very good at creating consistent, and proper source citations. This tool is excellent at helping me to overcome this issue and I will now start building out my family tree. An excellent extension! |

Every WikiGenealogist should have this extension. It's a HUGE timesaver and ensures conformity of data entered. | |

I installed this extension and went a while without using it because I didn't understand how to use it. Once I started playing around with it though I fell in love! It saves so much time, and it really is easy to use. I would advise anyone interested in using WikiTree seriously to invest in a little time installing and learning to use this tool, it will pay off! | |

This is an amazing app. I LOVE it and can't live without it. It can help you search for sources on multiply sites. It can save you hours by building a household table or list for a census record. | |

This is a fantastic tool for anyone working on WikiTree. It not only lets you search for sources, but with one click build a source citation and an associated biography narrative. Very highly recommended. |
