Description Der Messer 2011-05-18 17:40:48 UTC

If you use the citation help (like http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial:Zitierhilfe&page=Liste_der_standardisierten_Ports&id=88754773), MediaWiki shows you the entry with ". This makes BibTeX to print every character in the sentence as a lowercase (excepted the first). It would be better to use double-{ instead of the ", then every character is displayed as it's defined in the BibTeX-entry. Also the field "url" isn't supported in every BibTeX version. The URL is better in the "note"-field.
== Now: ==
 @misc{ wiki:xxx,
   author = "Wikipedia",
   title = "Title",
   year = "2011",
   url = "URL",
   note = "[Online; Stand 18. Mai 2011]"
 }

== Would be better as: ==
 @misc{ wiki:xxx,
   author = {{Wikipedia}},
   title = {{Title}},
   year = {{2011}},
   note = "\url{<PLACE_URL_HERE>}; [Online; Stand 18. Mai 2011]"
 }

Thanks!

Comment 1 Der Messer 2011-05-18 17:42:38 UTC

Sorry, the "Would be better" section should be:

@misc{ wiki:xxx,
   author = {{Wikipedia}},
   title = {{Title}},
   year = {{2011}},
   note = {{\url{<PLACE_URL_HERE>}; [Online; Stand 18. Mai 2011]}}
 }

That text is defined locally on the page [[:de:MediaWiki:Cite text]], any sysop from dewiki can change it.
