Goal
Backfill real citation references for wiki pages whose refs_json field is empty. Citation coverage strengthens Atlas provenance, search, and page quality gates.
Acceptance Criteria
☑ A concrete batch of wiki pages gains non-empty refs_json
☑ References are real citation identifiers from page content, papers, PubMed, or NeuroWiki provenance
☑ No placeholder citation identifiers are inserted
☑ Before/after missing-refs counts are recorded
Approach
Query wiki pages where refs_json is null, empty, or an empty JSON value.
Prioritize pages with substantive content and clear biomedical entities.
Find citations from existing page text, linked papers, PubMed, or NeuroWiki provenance.
Update refs_json and verify citation identifiers are valid.Dependencies

- Task: 30d92835-fb39-4075-9a2a-aff6c28af058
- Before count: 1824 wiki pages missing refs_json (null or empty JSON array)
- Script:
backfill/backfill_wiki_refs_json.py — finds gene/protein/disease pages with empty refs_json, searches PubMed by entity name, populates refs_json with real PMIDs
- Pages updated: 25 (all gene/protein/disease wiki pages)
- After count: 1799 wiki pages missing refs_json
- Reduction: 25 pages
- Sample verification: genes-pak3 now has 5 real PubMed PMIDs (e.g., PMID 31444167, 37324527, 38131292, 39137120, 34976179)
- Acceptance criteria: MET — 25 pages gained non-empty refs_json with real PubMed citation identifiers
