Wikicite+ is an open source C# application that is designed to assist editors in adding inline references to Wikipedia articles. It also has tools for stub sorting and CSD tagging. More features and support for more cite templates are planned for future releases.

Wikicite+ was written by Nacimota in C#, and is based loosely on source code from David Moss' Visual Basic .Net project Wikicite. It is free software, available under the apache license 2.0.

Installation

As with the original wikicite, wikicite+ does not require installation. Just download the executable from google code[1].

You will, however need a version of the .Net framework. The project is written with .Net 3.5 but should work with 3.0 and 2.0 (no guarantees). If you have Windows Vista, the .Net framework is built in to your operating system. Wikicite+ has been tested in Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows XP pro.

Mono framework

I understand there are a significant number of linux/unix users on wikipedia. Wikicite+ might work in mono, but I make absolutely no guarantees. I have never used mono and am completely unfamiliar with how caught up to .Net 3.5 it is. If you'd like to use wikicite+ on mono, you are free to try it; but I wouldn't get my hopes up, personally.

When the source code becomes available I encourage interested mono developers to modify wikicite+ to make it more mono-friendly.

Development

As of current (unreleased) development build (0.8 beta):
