Overview
Citoid is a service that automatically creates a citation template given a URL, DOI, ISBN, PMID, PMCID or QID. It has a companion extension, Citoid, which makes use of VisualEditor's Citation Tool to provide the citoid service to VisualEditor.

This guide will cover how to use Citoid to:


 * Add citations to a page.
 * Edit citations in a page.
 * Re-use citations in a page.

Prerequisites

 * VisualEditor's citation tool should be enabled in your wiki. If enabled, a "Cite" menu will be available in the toolbar. Instructions on how to enable the citation tool are available at VisualEditor/Citation tool




 * Citoid should be configured in your wiki. If configured, a "Cite" button will be available in your toolbar. If both the citation tool and Citoid are enabled, the "Cite" menu will be replaced by the "Cite" button. Instructions on how to configure citoid are available at Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki
