Overview

The Automatic Referencing Assistant (ARA) is a script which aids users in correcting referencing errors. It notifies the user when the article being edited is missing the {{Reflist}} template, has invalid or broken <ref></ref> tags, or is missing the "Name" parameter in the Persondata template. Clicking a fix link will automatically add the necessary template or information to the correct location in the article.

For a written history of the script, see here.
