Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki/fa

Citoid is an auto-filled citation generator which automatically creates a citation template from online sources based on a URL or some academic reference identifiers like DOIs, PMIDs, or PMCIDs. Support for ISBNs is planned. It is currently available as a VisualEditor feature, but it will be available in the wikitext editor in the future. Citoid uses Zotero translators to convert a page link into detailed information.

مرحلهٔ 1: فعال کردن ابزار الگو ارجاع
The Citoid service uses VisualEditor's Citation Tool. This is already enabled on most large Wikipedias and many smaller projects. If the citation tool is enabled, then the "" menu will list one or more local citation templates, in addition to "" and "". If the citation tool is not enabled, then you need to enable it before proceeding. Each citation template will require normal TemplateData to work.

مرحلهٔ ۲: تنظیم ارجاع خودکار
The Citoid extension must be configured using special TemplateData maps and a special Citoid-specific message. انجام مرتب این مراحل اهمیت زیادی دارد.

Step 2.a: Create a 'Citoid' maps value for each Cite template
Since Citoid has its own set of fields for each document type (for instance, the journal name is called 'publicationTitle' in Citoid, but 'journal' in Template:Cite_journal), you need to add special TemplateData for Citoid. This special TemplateData creates a map between Citoid's fields and the template's fields. Calling the map 'Citoid' lets the Citoid extension know which map to look for. An unlimited number of maps with unique keys are allowed in the maps object. Note that you can only see TemplateData maps in edit mode; they are not visible in the TemplateData table.

The most up-to-date maps objects that are compatible with the Citoid extension are on the beta version of Wikipedia:

 * http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Template:Cite_journal/doc
 * http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Template:Cite_web/doc
 * http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Template:Cite_book/doc
 * http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Template:Citation/doc

Step 2.b: Configuring a special MediaWiki message
You'll need to configure a special MediaWiki: namespace message, MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json. This message maps the native Citoid types (website, book, journalArticle) to the appropriate template (Cite web, Cite book, Cite journal).

You should match a local citation template to every single Citoid type. If no template is matched, then Citoid will not work. It's better to have a bad match than none at all. For example, your wiki may not have a special template for citing the liner notes in the packaging for a DVD, so consider using a template designed for a book or a video in that case. You may consider using a generic template, such as en.wiki's Template:Citation, as a catch-all for types if there is no good match for the type of source you are mapping.

A sample namespace message is found here: Citoid/MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json.

رفع مشکل

 * Main: Citoid

Citoid has disappeared from my wiki
Please report any outage on Phabricator, and see that task for a temporary workaround.

The new cite button does not appear in the toolbar


When you create the MediaWiki message in step 2.b, the previous cite drop-down menu (File:VisualEditor_-_Cite_Pulldown.png) should be replaced by a new button for the citoid service in the toolbar menu. If the new button does not appear in the toolbar, then there may be a problem with MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json.If this page does not exist locally, or if the JSON on that page is invalid, then citoid will not work. Alternatively, you may need to refresh your JavaScript cache.

نمایش ارجاع خالی
Empty references most commonly appear when you are trying to insert a citation template that has no maps data. This problem also appears if the template has maps data, but that data is not reaching the MediaWiki API. If the maps object is present in TemplateData block in the template's documentation, then try making a "null edit" on the template. If that doesn't work, then there may be an issue with the map itself.

My favorite site isn't recognized by Citoid and only gets basic information

 * Main: Citoid/Determining if a URL has a translator in Zotero

The Citoid service relies on the brilliant Zotero community for much of the "magic", as Zotero translators need to be written for each site. You can see a list of all Zotero translators at https://github.com/zotero/translators. Right now, Zotero best supports English-language sources. We need your help to improve coverage of other sites. You can write your own Zotero translator. Start by looking at an existing translator of a similar website, and by reading the general development framework instructions at https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/translators/framework.
