I agree with Thomas that it would be nice to have a fill-in-the-blank form for source references. Otherwise, the Chicago Manual of Style meets the needs of the general public. Charlene M.

Or better yet, a dropdown menu of the books most referenced on the wiki. Then all references to that work could more likely be consistent. Charlene M.

:Dropdown menu does not exist even in Wikipedia. It is not encouraged, to keep it simple worldwide. [[User:Dsammy|dsammy]] 19:20, 24 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
I must say that reading through this discussion glazed my eyes over. I really do not remember what all of these source reference formats even look like. It would be nice if examples were shown to remind us about them. In the end, I believe the nicest thing would be to have an extension to the Editor that allows one to enter the source reference in a dialog box and then it formats it in a standard format. Does this type of thing exist? [[User:Thomas Lerman|Thomas Lerman]] 14:25, 15 June 2009 (UTC) | I must say that reading through this discussion glazed my eyes over.
