::with the report title superlinked to the source. If I am to achieve the same on Conservapedia, I would need to first generate an entry in Zotero where the fields are automatically identified by the software, then output the entry to some document as bibliography, and finally copy-paste the line to <nowiki>"<ref></ref>"</nowiki>. This is so much of a hassle that I have never tried it. Apparently, such conversion is too cumbersome for not just me but most of our editors, therefore only a tiny number of references are formatted "properly", such as ref. 13 on [[Phyllis Schlafly]]. --[[User:Luminoxius|Luminoxius]] ([[User talk:Luminoxius|talk]]) 16:24, 19 May 2021 (EDT)

:::Okay, got it. Yes, Conservapedia doesn't have that visual editor feature. I do not have the ability to add/change wiki code, so I can't add something like that in. For bibliography, I typically use the offsite tool [https://www.bibme.org/mla BibMe]. That attempts to automatically grab the bibliography details from the website referenced, then prompts the user to verify/adjust/add as needed. Sometimes it does well and nothing needs to be changed. Other times it completely messes it up, and I need to manually fill in or fix the fields. Then it will give you the full bibliography text, and you can paste it into CP inside ref tags. Would that be helpful for your purpose? --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 16:37, 19 May 2021 (EDT)
