The Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science Stack Exchange sites have a great feature that allows a user to quickly create a citation to answers and questions. This is accomplished by clicking share and then clicking cite:
The feature even provides the BibTex and amsrefs LaTeX formats which can be simply copy and pasted but would obviously be less useful on other sites.
Currently I am working on a paper on User Experience and have need to reference several articles from that site. Having the ability to quickly cite each question / answer would be incredibly helpful. While I agree adding the ability to easily cite is more applicable to certain SE sites this seems like a frictionless feature with a lot of benefit.
Is there a reason this feature isn't available across the entire Stack Exchange network? Is this something that each Stack Exchange site needs to decide within its community (i.e. I need to move this discussion to meta.ux.se)? Can the ability to cite question and answers please be added to all other Stack Exchange sites?
