User:Isaac (WMF)/citation count

What?
Load statistics on how many other times a source is used on English Wikipedia.

How?
This uses a special-purpose API that holds a snapshot of all Wikipedia citations as indexed by their title, URL, doi, and ISBN. It currently depends on a number of heuristics to extract this information in place of a true database of citations, but gives a sense of the benefits of putting more structure around citations. Example request:. Optionally you can use page_title instead of page_id. You can also leave out the citation_id to retrieve all citations:

To install, simply go to Special:MyPage/common.js for just English and put  or meta:Special:MyPage/global.js for all available languages and place   at the bottom of the page.

You should then notice a tiny search icon added to the top-right corner of English Wikipedia articles that, when clicked, adds statistics in-line in the references lists about how many times the source is used and links directly to the API response for more details.

Who?
Developed by Isaac (WMF) but heavily based on CiteUnseen.
