Features & Capabilities

Wikipedia-References-Creator is a powerful Chrome extension designed to streamline citation creation for Wikipedia editors and researchers. By simply right-clicking on any website, users can generate properly formatted Wikipedia references, with automatic detection for key sources like Google Books and Amazon.

The extension supports customizable output templates using variables such as author, title, ISBN, publisher, and more, allowing users to tailor reference formatting to specific Wikipedia citation standards. It even translates Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) and PubMed IDs into accurate references by connecting to a specialized external database. Generated citations are copied directly to the clipboard for quick pasting, boosting productivity and ensuring accuracy.

Ideal for students, academics, and Wikipedia contributors, this tool simplifies the tedious task of citation creation to save time and improve quality of references across Wikipedia articles.

Can only cite a URL in one specific template type but the speedy convenience of it is incredible and makes me edit wikipedia more. I only ever ended up using "simple reference". Hope they add more templates to it

Is Wikipedia-References-Creator Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Wikipedia-References-Creator requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
