MediaWiki talk:Cite text

message: Any way of making a downloadable version of the citation for software such as EndNote, COiNS, or Zotero?
This could be similar to the latitude/longitude download (although hopefully less cluttered! :-D ) Tristanb (talk) 01:34, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

message: In the publisher bullet, the word "The" should be lower case. Everything else is fine, though. Mylesgray (talk) 15:47, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: . The phrase "The Free Encyclopedia" is actually transcluded from MediaWiki:Sitesubtitle rather than being directly written on this page. Changing that page would change it for every use, including in all the citation style examples. The capitalisation has remained unchanged at least since that MediaWiki page was created in 2004, so I don't think it should be changed without discussion first (also I'm not certain that I'd agree with changing it to lowercase). If you still think it should be changed, I'd recommend starting a discussion at MediaWiki talk:Sitesubtitle but as that is likely to be an very lightly watched page (it has had exactly two edits) it would be a good idea to link to the discussion from here, at Wikipedia:MediaWiki messages, Wikipedia talk:Citing Wikipedia and possibly one of the village pump pages.

message: Current page version's MLA citation looks like this.
*"." , .   ,  UTC.  <>.
*"." , .   ,  UTC.  <>.
According to the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th ed.), in effect since April 2009, this should be something more like:
* contributors. "." , . , ,  . . Web. .
* contributors. "." , . , ,  . . Web. .
This is a rough guess based on online resources including the OWL at Purdue. It would be great if anyone with access to the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers could revise that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Escalona (talk • contribs) 18:18, January 5, 2010

message: Next point on the agenda. better positioning. Where do you propose we put this element in this webpage, it's indeed rather tucked away atm. Perhaps just in the bibliographic details box ? —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 16:56, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

text: I'm not really bothered where on Cite_text it goes. Like I've said, I'd expect to find it - and think most people would - on the article itself. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 21:08, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not possible atm. You should make a bugzilla: request for that, so that it can be integrated into the software in a manner that doesn't completely FU caching. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 12:04, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  protocol relative URLs 

message: The "Bluebook: Harvard JOLT style" section should have the wikilink changed, since the Wikilink destination anchor section was removed from Bluebook five years ago – it should probably link to Wikipedia:Citing Wikipedia#Citation to Wikipedia instead. 
Also, it seems like the canonical URL for that entry here is inconsistent – it's not linking to the revision since it's missing the oldid= parameter. The cannonicalurl portion should be 
  instead of what's there currently. Mojoworker (talk) 16:50, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
