ProveIt (/ˈpruːvɪt/) is a gadget that makes it easy to find, edit, add, and cite references when editing Wikipedia articles using the source editor.
Referencing is a key task at Wikipedia, but handling citation wikitext is often difficult because the citation templates (such as Template:Cite book) are complex. ProveIt simplifies the process by adding a smart and simple graphical user interface for citations when editing any article. You deal with the interface, and ProveIt deals with the wikitext.
