May 9[edit]

Asking what happened to an article[edit]

I know this is ridiculous to state, but there was an article named "Morgann Book" a few months ago, it was my first and I never made any articles since. What happened to it? (I do not edit often). Was it deleted because it was empty in content? Trakaplex (talk) 05:32, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See also Wikipedia:Reference desk/Archives/Miscellaneous/2023 January 8 § I haven't created a page before. Not being able to see the article as it was before deletion, I can't know if any of the advice was followed.  --Lambiam 20:50, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia citation tool for Google Book[edit]

Not sure where to ask this. Is there any tool that is comparable to as a http://reftag.appspot.com/ Wikipedia citation tool for Google Book? It was a tool that used to format a wiki citation for you with the input of a link. KAVEBEAR (talk) 22:30, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see reftag capability, but if it is making a Wikipedia ref tag with cite book, the editing toolbar includes this with cite cite book drop down; visual editor has this capability; if you do {{cite book|url=googlebooks.url}} citation bot (https://citations.toolforge.org/process_page.php?edit=toolbar&slow=1&page=Whatever ) can expand this.

There is also makeref at toolforge. I don't know how it compares.  --Lambiam 06:58, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
