A transparent MLA citation workflow

Citation metadata is often incomplete, especially on ordinary web pages. This generator retrieves available source details, shows what is missing, and lets you correct each field before formatting it with MLA 9 rules. Your saved Works Cited list stays in local browser storage, so the tool works without an account. Always compare the final entry with your assignment instructions when your instructor has specific requirements.
