    Highlights 1800 sources green, yellow, or red depending on their reliability.

    Color codes[edit]

    • Dark green = Generally reliable and potentially WP:MEDRS quality[1]
    • Light green = Generally reliable
    • Yellow = Marginally reliable or no consensus
    • Orange = Suspicious word detected in URL, such as "blog"
    • Red = Generally unreliable, deprecated, or blacklisted

    Installation[edit]

    Go install User:Enterprisey/script-installer, then come back to this page and click the giant blue "Install" button in the infobox on the right.

    Or install it manually by adding the below code to your Special:MyPage/common.js file.

    Source lists[edit]

    Step 1 - Original source lists[edit]

    Ratings are taken from the following sources:

    Will add when time permits[edit]

    Step 2 - The above "original source lists" are converted into these 2 lists[edit]

    Both of these lists are editable by YOU. Please edit wisely.

    The following PHP tool can help with converting step 1 to step 2: Table to bulleted list tool. I use this tool when I first add a list to AllSourcesExceptNPPSG.

    Step 3 - Those 2 lists are then converted into JSON[edit]

    The following PHP tool can help with converting step 2 to step 3: NPPSG to array tool. I use this tool every time I update CiteHighlighter's list of sources. It has around 20 hard-coded source fixes, so if the output isn't matching the two above source lists, the code is probably changing a couple things.

    TODO: These are currently manually updated by me running the NPPSG to array tool every couple months. This could be automated with a bot.

    How to help[edit]

    Please keep an eye out for lists of reliable sources not included in CiteHighlighter, and post a link to them on the talk page. I have offline tools that can convert wikicode into the format that CiteHighlighter uses.

    Custom list[edit]

    If you would like to help with translating a quality list of sources into a format CiteHighlighter can read, please make a page in your userspace and use the following format. Then let me know about it on the talk page. 

    ; Reliable
* [https://apnews.com/]
* [https://reuters.com/]

; No consensus
* [https://newsweek.com/]

; Unreliable
* [https://twitter.com/]
* [https://facebook.com/]

    Tasks this tool can help with[edit]

    • Article improvement - Glance at a reflist, hone in on the red sources, and try to replace or eliminate them.
    • New page patrol / Articles for Creation - You can probably ignore red sources when evaluating if the article passes WP:GNG, and focus on evaluating the other sources.

    Algorithm[edit]

    CiteHighlighter looks solely at website domains. For example, if twitter.com is added to CiteHighlighter's dictionary, then it will look for links to "/twitter.com" and ".twitter.com", and then add an HTML class to them, and this class causes highlighting by changing the CSS background-color. CiteHighlighter does not look at any parameters of a citation such as publisher, ISSN, etc.

    Modes[edit]

    Add this to top of common.js to activate Description
    window.citeHighlighterAlwaysHighlightSourceLists = true; Used for testing. Highlights everything on source pages such as WP:RSP. Then you can make sure everything is getting highlighted correctly.
    window.citeHighlighterHighlightEverything = true; Highlights all links on a page, not just in the references section.
    Careful, this may cause large pages to load slowly.
    window.citeHighlighterLighterColors = true; Uses a lighter set of highlight colors. User requested. May make it easier to read highlighted citations.

    Secondary sources[edit]

    This user script highlights based on reliability. Reliability is whether or not Wikipedia trusts data and statements on that website to be accurate. This is different than secondary. WP:SECONDARY sources are needed for notability and for getting the WP:WEIGHT right. Be careful of this when writing and editing articles. You can have 20 green cites, and still have a non-notable article or an article with undue weight problems.

    Notes[edit]

    1. ^ For journal articles to pass MEDRS, make sure they are secondary sources (review, systematic review, meta-analysis, guideline, practice guideline) and not primary sources (study, clinical trial, etc.)
    2. ^ For now, this is just 30 sources I hand picked. Examples include nasa.gov (astronomy articles), mlb.com (baseball), justia.com (law), and espncricinfo.com (cricket). Later, I plan to run a script to analyze all 1000ish featured articles, and it will assume sources that are used more than X times are reliable, which will greatly expand this list. The goal of this is to cover sources from niche corners of Wikipedia that aren't covered by RSP, RSN, and WikiProjects.
    3. ^ Preprints are assumed to be unreliable, since they are self-published. If there is a PubMed ID (PMID) number or a doi.org number, that means they got published, and the PMID/DOI takes priority for determining color.
