Click here to run References converter OR click here to get a list of links to process
This converts articles that use the old {{ref}} and {{note}} system into the new <references /> system. See also Wikipedia:Footnotes for more information.
This program is accessible from your web browser and runs on the site's server from across the Internet. Go to the site, type in the name of a page, press "Go", copy the resulting Wiki code, click the link to go back to Wikipedia, and paste the Wiki code back over the article source. The edit summary will be automatically filled in. Then press the "Show changes" button to make sure everything is all right, and if it is, press "Save page" to commit the changes. If everything isn't all right, go ahead and fix it manually and post a summary of the error on the talk page. Ref converter has about a 90% fully automatic success rate.
Depending on your system configuration, the edit summary may or may not be filled in automatically. If it is not, consider using an edit summary similar to the following:
