Schrödinger's interpretation paper of May 1926 assigns the complex square of the wavefunction (again not packet) to "space-density of electricity"; Born's probability density interpretation appears in July 1926. See
Whittaker V2, pg 275. Schrödinger's wave packet paper comes out in 1928 (Whittaker v2

I really like the Shrödinger part where it is used as a way to show what a dispersive medium can do, but I would like to add that I don't know many particles obbeying the
Shrodinger's equation. If you describe photons, you will use Maxwell's equation and quantize them as much as you can, if you look
256:
This statement is unreferenced and incorrect. The sentence is mostly correct for a "wave function" not at all correct for a "wave packet". A wave packet is a multiple wave construct. It's interpretation is entire orthogonal to that construction.
303:
Moreover the last and first sentence of this paragraph directly contradict each other. At first the packet is special and describes the particle; at last the dispersive character of solutions invalidate packets as descriptions.
435:
at electrons, you will deal with the Dirac equation. None of them exhibit that dispersive behavior (at least in vacuum). That dispersive behavior is a pathology of the model, it creates faster than light signals.

This article incorrectly equates "wave packet" with wave particle duality. The history section is especially egregious. It does not have a single reference about the history of wave packets.
