''' Tool of the week '''
* ] - "Sometimes, the data on Wikidata does not answer all your questions. Some types of information are difficult to encode in statements, or simply has not been encoded on Wikidata yet. In such cases, it might be useful to go through the references attached to claims of the entity, for additional information. To simplify this process, this user script lists all unique references based on ] and ]. The references are listed in a collapsible list below the table of labels and descriptions, collapsed by default to not be obtrusive." To enable it, include the following line in your ]: <code>mw.loader.load('//www.wikidata.org/search/?title=User:Lagewi/references.js&oldid=2039248554&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');</code>
