This is a script that converts all reference titles to title case. This was created largely because at the Featured Article Candidate (FAC) stage, the FAC coordinators would often suggest before promoting that reference titles "should be either in sentence case or title case" regardless of "how they appear in their originals" (per MOS:CONFORM). As it would be cumbersome for one to go over 50+ references in an article and use other tools to convert each reference title manually to title case (such as Capitalizemytitle or Title Case Converter), I decided to write up this userscript so that the process would be much quicker.
Please note that there might still be some bugs in the script, but test cases have been largely successful thanks to guidance from Novem Linguae. Always click "Show changes" to see what has been changed before clicking "Publish page". The rules for title case in Wikipedia are taken from MOS:CT.

Current bugs to deal with (as of 17 June 2024)
edit- All caps remaining in all caps
- Might have to add a separate function/option to toggle between converting all caps or not
- Possibly adding a sentence case function
- "Error: Sidebar section not found" in mobile view.
