Thanks; with due respect, a clear pointer is one thing, but when I asked
the question, the site was down, and there was no way to know how
authoritative or well-maintained it is.  Now that it's up, I must
confess further doubts, given the bell-shaped graph of papers shown on
the front page, and various errors I've encountered around the site.

E.g., http://wikipapers.referata.com/wiki/List_of_journal_articles is
empty.

On the other hand,
http://wikipapers.referata.com/wiki/List_of_conference_papers works and
has lots of information (maybe too much).

Wikidata integration *should* make it relatively straightforward to
browse the articles in a faceted way, and also push that data into
several Wikipedia pages?

I'd personally support dumping out the Wikipapers metadata and pushing
that into Wikidata (I'm probably not the best point-person for that, but
could help some).

That effort would ultimately sort out a more 'encyclopedic' style for
the above-named Wikipedia page.

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Source_MetaData is
looking pretty promising for automating or semi-automating this sort of
task (in connection w/ the Wikidata backend).
