Reflinks is a python script in the pywikipedia collection which adds title to bare references in the forms of <ref>[http://www.google.fr/]</ref> or <ref>http://www.google.fr/</ref>. These titles are taken from the <title> element contained on the page.

It was developed as a pywikipedia bot by NicDumZ and was used to convert ~5,500 references on French Wikipedia in January 2008 and then ~62,300 on English in February 2008. Its was ported over to the Toolserver a short time later by Dispenser and has developed independent of the original.

There are two flavors of this script, web and bot. The web version provides a larger degree of interactivity and human review. While the bot script is automated and is the better one of you want to run and forget as it doesn't need human review.
