• (2025-06-05) celia marsh: Fantastic, couldn't do anything without it.
• (2025-05-20) J B: Wish I could give more stars. Don't know how I'd function without it. Click of a button citation creation. Creates a table from a census (a picture is worth a thousand word). So many options to bring life to entries, improve the view and enjoyment of WikiTree.
• (2025-05-14) Dave Draper: Wikitree Sourcer makes the amateur genealogist look like a professional. It not only finds the web pages where sources are found, it collects all the information in sentence form with full source citations inset by <ref/> tags or in "Table" format for easily recreating a census record. In WikiTree, it will create a complete profile in 2 clicks of the mouse. This is WikiTree's best kept secret. Thank you, Rob Pavey, for this amazing tool!
• (2024-11-26) Paul Harrison: Fabulous! From an IT lifer who is very critical of much modern sw! Well DONE!!!!! Makes the not so good wikiTree website a little easier especially if you have family trees on FamilySeach, Ancestry etc etc and the porting them on the unpalatable WikiTree! A BIG thank zou
• (2024-10-05) Campbell Braddock: Perfect
• (2024-04-16) Steve Ryan: I constantly use the inline citations, narrative with citation, and household (census) table features. Search FamilySearch is also a favorite. I am probably at least three times as productive with this tool, with the only possible downside that I may be including sources which aren't strictly needed, just because it's so easy. The ability to handle the data formats from a range of web sites and document types is quite impressive. We can always wish for support on even more sites, but I would not want to see that done at the expense of quality, which is currently very good.
• (2024-02-16) Amy M: This has been working really well, but it doesn't seem to be working for IrishGenealogy.ie anymore. It would be nice if that could be made functional again.
• (2024-02-11) Ron Field: Initial impression is I love it. I'm a person who has been hesitant to use Wikitree as I'm not very good at creating consistent, and proper source citations. This tool is excellent at helping me to overcome this issue and I will now start building out my family tree. An excellent extension!
• (2023-09-01) Brenda Lang: Every WikiGenealogist should have this extension. It's a HUGE timesaver and ensures conformity of data entered.

• (2023-07-03) Patrick Graham: I installed this extension and went a while without using it because I didn't understand how to use it. Once I started playing around with it though I fell in love! It saves so much time, and it really is easy to use. I would advise anyone interested in using WikiTree seriously to invest in a little time installing and learning to use this tool, it will pay off!

• (2022-07-27) Jo Fitz-Henry: I can't believe the review written below - this is an invaluable tool for regular WikiTree users. The format is in the England Project style and gives all the information needed to trace the original source back to the archive it is held in. Top marks to Rob for coming up with such a useful tool

• (2022-07-03) Ed Street: Problems I have with this plugin so far ... * Inferior visual layout for some/most(?) citations. * Does not translate domain names internationally properly. * Duplicates info and includes useless info. * Incorrectly labels sources as Myheritage.

• (2022-03-22) Kim W: I LOVE this extension. It's all great but the best is the ability to create the Household Table. This has literally saved me hours of tedium. You can even open any source for a census that's already in the profile and create the household table. Thank you SOOOO much, priceless.

• (2021-10-04) Jutta Beer: This is by far the most useful tool for WikiTree. It saves so much time, can add a standard narrative relating to each source, which you can amend, and the Census tables are fantastic.
