Analyze whether a Wikipedia page's references contain URLs — detect bare plain-text citations, template-based citations without url= parameters, shortened footnotes, and named ref reuse. Useful for article quality assessment, NPP triage, and citation maintenance.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
> ⚠️ **User-Agent required:** The API calls in this skill need a descriptive `User-Agent`
> header. See the **[wikimedia-api-access](../wikimedia-api-access/SKILL.md)** skill for
> the correct format.
> ⚠️ **Prerequisite:** This skill assumes you can parse wikitext with `mwparserfromhell`.
> See the **[wikimedia-wikitext](../wikimedia-wikitext/SKILL.md)** skill for AST parsing

## Reference: Why Reference URLs Matter for Verifiability
Wikipedia's core policy, **Verifiability** (WP:V), requires that readers can
verify that content is backed by reliable sources. A reference that provides
a **clickable URL** is immediately verifiable by any reader. A reference
without a URL requires the reader to:
- Own the cited book or journal
- Have access to a library with the cited work
- Trust the author's claim about the source
This is one of the most common red flags during New Page Patrol (NPP) review,
and a frequent target for citation maintenance.
### Reference Types and Verifiability
| Type | Wikitext Example | Has URL? | Verifiable Online? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Citation template with URL | `{{cite web\|url=https://...}}` | ✅ | ✅ Yes |

How to install
mdr add fuzheado/wikipedia-ai-skills/wikipedia-reference-verifiability@sha256:f6e5e041fa72b458The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260810.ef16950, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
