Lists of more reference websites: [1] [2] [3] To be continued! Nicolas1981 (talk) 12:00, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Code to generate the list

Download the annotations as "annotations.xml", and use those files:

annotations.xsl

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="annotations.xsl"?>

<annotations-shortcut/>

annotations-launcher.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="annotations-shortcut"/>
	<xsl:apply-templates select="Annotations/Annotation"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="annotations-shortcut">
	<html>
	<p>
	<!-- Change this to where you downloaded the Google annotations -->
	<xsl:apply-templates select="document('/home/nico/Desktop/annotations.xml')"/>
	</p>
	</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Annotations/Annotation">
	<xsl:value-of select="@about"/>
	<br/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Rename the project

"Wikipedia Reference Search" can be interpreted of searching for a "wikipedia reference", which it is not about. I am currently thinking about a new name, any idea is welcome. After 5 minutes of reflexion, my suggestion is "SearchRef", with no initials form and no expanded form. A Google search shows that SearchRef is not associated to any big project. Please tell me whether this name is OK, and feel free to suggest more names. Thanks! Nicolas1981 (talk) 11:42, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki-editable websites list

It would be really cool if the list could be edited right here on the Wiki, instead of having to use Google's web interface. Google has done a tool that can scrape all "href" attributes in an HTML page, that's a good start but I don't think we can use it as is, because it would include links to Wikipedia itself. A small PHP script would probably be enough, I will look into that when I have time. In other news, WRS has been serving around 15 queries per day since January :-) Nicolas1981 (talk) 10:53, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklist???

I attempted to put a link to this search engine on my userpage. To my surprise Wikipedia rejected the link as a blacklisted site! What's that about? --MelanieN (talk) 16:44, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

airliners.net

I think airliners.net should be removed from the list. Or at the very least /aviation-forums/ hits should not show up. --82.136.210.153 (talk) 07:22, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
