bib2wiki

bib2wiki is a perl script to generate a template to cite scientific refeferences on this very website from its $\mathrm{B{\scriptstyle{IB}}\TeX}$ entry.

The rationale is explained in this blog post.

It is based on BibTeX::Parser.

Usage

# Usage: 
# To print everything:
#   bib2wiki -keys=all
#
# To print one key:
#   bib2wiki -keys=laussy04a
#
# To print several keys:
#   bib2wiki -keys=laussy04a,laussy05a,laussy06a

Get the keys from Mediawiki

To extract the keys needed on a page, in edit mode, look for the list of templates at the end. It could look something like this:

Copy/past in a file (say templates) on which you run:

cat templates | perl -pe 's/Template:([a-zA-Z]+[0-9]{2}[a-z])\s\(edit\)\.*/\1/p' | sed '/Template/d' | awk -vORS=, '{ print $1 }' | sed 's/,$/\n/'

That will output on one line the list of templates needed:

Kirkwood35a,Kirkwood39a,Kirkwood42a,Kirkwood50a,Lopezcarreno18b,Percus58a,Salsburg53a,Sells53a,Thiele63a,Wertheim63a,Zerniker37a

You can then pass this to bib2wiki

bib2wiki -keys=Kirkwood35a,Kirkwood39a,Kirkwood42a,Kirkwood50a,Lopezcarreno18b,Percus58a,Salsburg53a,Sells53a,Thiele63a,Wertheim63a,Zerniker37a

which will return the list you have to upload:
