Wikipedia:Ref++

Ref++ is a tool, that at the moment, only searches PubMed. It allows you to search for references and enter them into a Wikipedia article without leaving the 'edit page' view. At the moment it is very much in its infancy; this page will be updated when new versions are made available.

How to use
Simply type "[ Search term ]" whilst you are editing an article and a list of possible results will appear in the tool bar (above the 'interaction' section). Press the number beside the result you want and a reference will be entered into the article. Save the article and the reference will be completed by a bot.

If you know the DOI of an article (for example 10.1010/j.example.214) you can use that instead of a search term, and a citation will immediately be created.

How to install
To add the gadget:


 * Install the Greasemonkey plugin


 * Add the userscript: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/61613

Feedback
This early beta version is likely to be a little quirky. I'd be grateful for any suggestions on the talk page.

Future features
At the moment the tool only searches PubMed. It will imminently be expanded to search CrossRef too, which will take its scope beyond the biomedical sciences.

Currently it only supports the "{cite pmid}" template. The option to use {Cite journal} and {citation} will be supported in the future.

Eventually it may be possible to integrate the script with Wikipedia so that it can be added to a user's Monobook.js (or even added as a preference).
