PastPages now provides automatic citations
PastPages now publishes automatically generated citations for every screenshot. Visit a screenshot’s detail page and simply click on the new “citations” button to see a popup like the one pictured above.
It currently provides drafted citations in MLA, APA and Chicago styles. It also provides Wikipedia citation markup that can be immediately pasted into an entry and used as a reference.
My hope is that this will make it easier for scholars, both professional and amateur, to use PastPages. The style above was copied from instructions at Purdue University’s Online Writing Lab. If you see any errors, please let me know or file a ticket on GitHub. If you’re interested in how it’s implemented, you can see the code that makes this work here.
