325:). This add-on alleviates some of the geeky pressure on inexperienced or technically disinclined editors, who need not remember complicated citation code to insert a basic citation with this add-on. It also makes cleanup of bare-URL citations easier on other editors, who can load the URL in question and copy-paste a proper, if minimal, citation over it in a matter of a seconds.
320:
Far too many (especially inexperienced) editors simply paste in a URL and call it a source citation, leaving it to other editors to properly format the citation for even very basic information such as title, or to even determine whether the link pertains to the article at all rather than being a test

Billiards and Pool", not just "azbilliards.com", or even completely different, such as "BBC News" vs.

The add-on is known to work in
Firefox 2.0 to 52 ESR, Pale Moon 2.0 to 29, Basilisk, SeaMonkey 2.1 to 2.53.7, and Borealis Navigator 0.9. It won't work in Firefox Quantum and Chromium-based browsers, and there's no plan to support those browsers, as it involves a rewrite of the whole codebase.

Completely fails in SeaMonkey 2.0.2 (at least under
