WRStitle adds a little blue link titled {{small|{{blue|WRS}}}} to the right of an article title. Click it, and a Wikipedia Reference Search (WP:WRS) will open in a new tab.

A Wikipedia Reference Search (WP:WRS) should not be regarded as a substitute for the normal, minimal searches expected in WP:BEFORE. Also, be aware that WRS relies heavily on English sources. If you think non-English sources exist, perform all the traditional searches including {{mono|site:.xx}} searches (where {{em|xx}} is an appropriate ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code) extra carefully.
