Talk:VisualEditor/Citation tool

Citoid help
Does this tool use Citoid? I need a help page for end users on how to use citoid. Citoid is for developers and VisualEditor/Citation tool is only for wiki "builders", so I'm lost. The easiest "help page" I found is w:en:User:Salix alba/Citoid. --Nemo 14:21, 13 February 2015 (UTC)


 * This is documentation for the existing system, not the new one. As the new one isn't finished, obviously there is no documentation on how to extend it. Why do you think you need a help page for end-users to use Citoid when it's not yet deployed? Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 16:51, 13 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Well, whether Citoid is used was my first question. :)
 * There are two tools using Citoid at the moment, so it's not too early to start a help page. But sure, it's understandable that one wasn't created yet. There are some users I need to instruct about the tool, for now I'm using Salix alba's page. --Nemo 23:30, 14 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Please, like we've said to many people several times, do not use the wmflabs demonstration of what the service might look like in actual production. It's abusing API keys that were issued only for testing, and is not appropriate. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 03:43, 15 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I must have missed this warning, where was it? Should I remove the script from w:en:User:Nemo_bis/common.js? --Nemo 14:54, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Reusing this work in the future
How many wikis added the definitions asked by this page? Are there plans to reuse in Citoid all this work MediaWiki:Visualeditor-cite-tool-definition.json and TemplateData? https://github.com/zotero/translators/blob/master/Wikipedia%20Citation%20Templates.js currently works well enough for me on it.wiki, but most wikis are different. Should/can I submit a patch upstream for that translator to fetch "maps" from each wiki, or are you going to do that, or do you have different plans? --Nemo 14:54, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
