The script will add a "Books to Sfn" portlet link in Visual Editor's source mode editing, in main namespace articles or in the user's Sandbox. When clicked, it converts one {{tlx|cite book}} inside a ... tag block into an {{tlx|Sfn}}.

The script looks for a level-2/3 "Bibliography" section with a {{tlx|Refbegin}}–{{tlx|Refend}} block and appends the {{tlx|cite book}} inside the block. If not, it will look for a level-2 "References" section and create a level-3 "Bibliography" section. After the conversion, a success message or a failure message (with more details in the browser console) would be displayed. Verify the conversion and make any changes necessary. It's recommended to save one change at a time so as to have a good page history.
