> A part which queries Wikidata for bare URLs. A Sparql query can do this, and perhaps we'd want to query based on missing reference properties, and not just alone Reference URLs (e.g. a URL and title might be set, but no author or published date). > A part which parses the citoid output and puts it back on the wiki. It's certainly be possible to do this, given the data returned by Citoid, but I'm wondering if this is reliable enough for an unsupervised process. For example, adding a reference while editing gives the user a change to check that the title, author, date etc. are correct and what they want, before they save the data. If a bot comes along later, finds a bare Reference URL, and fills in the missing data, there doesn't seem to be any process by which the user can easily confirm that it's correct. This feels like it might be a concern, but it didn't come up during the Wishlist Survey, so perhaps I'm misunderstanding things. It seems to me that the first thing is to find out if anyone else is working on the while-editing tool: there's a 'Manual' tab in the references section on Test Wikidata, which looks like it's meant to have an 'Automatic' section next to it... but I guess it's not functioning yet (the code <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase/+/ea35dd53bb0c8ffe384c2ea344b159233d47cb7d/view/resources/jquery/wikibase/jquery.wikibase.referenceview.js#104> looks like it's missing any other tab, and it doesn't look like `$wbRefTabsEnabled` is configurable)? So maybe we could help with that work, if it's been stalled?
