The script will add a "Books to Sfn" portlet link in Visual Editor's source mode editing, in main namespace articles or in the user's Sandbox. When clicked, it converts one {{
cite book}}
inside a <ref>...</ref>
tag block into an {{
Sfn}}
.
The script looks for a level-2/3 "Bibliography" section with a {{
Refbegin}}
–{{
Refend}}
block and appends the {{
cite book}}
inside the block. If not, it will look for a level-2 "References" section and create a level-3 "Bibliography" section. After the conversion, a success message or a failure message (with more details in the
browser console) would be displayed. Verify the conversion and make any changes necessary. It's recommended to save one change at a time so as to have a good page history.
The script is capable of identifying the last names required by {{
Sfn}}
in this order:
last
last1
... lastn
author
author1
... authorn
editor
editor1
... editorn
The script is capable of identifying year from the parameters year
or date
. It is capable of identifying page numbers from the parameters page
or pages
.
