Re: [Wikitech-l] [Wmfall] Marielle Volz joins Wikimedia as Software Developer
So there's a user gadget which only works with en wiki because the
template fields are hardcoded in:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mvolz/veCiteFromURL
I made this approximately midway through the internship this summer so
use with caution :).
Under development is work on the TemplateData extension to map the
parameters in a given template to parameters from an external
application[1]. This will allow TD to describe the relationship
between the parameters produced by the citoid service, and the
templates' parameters, in a "map".[2]
Also under development is a mediawiki extension.[3] This will use the
data from the TemplateData "maps" as well as a special Mediawiki
namespace message[4] to determine which template to use for each
citoid data type.
So the answer is that this is being designed to work on any mediawiki
installation in any language, by configuring it with a) a special
Mediawiki namespace message, and b) a "map" in each template's
TemplateData.
As for non-wiki sites, the idea is the service itself, citoid, would
be useable any site. Right now it is heavily relying on Zotero[5] to
do most of the work, but also has a back-up scraper if Zotero doesn't
have a translator[6] available. We're also working on citoid to be
able to take any identifier, not just URL, such as DOI or ISBN or PMID
(or maybe one day title!)
Right now we have a special "mediawiki" format for citoid designed to
be used in conjunction with the TemplateData extension, but export is
also available in the native Zotero format[7], and we'll be adding
other export formats (such as CSL) as well.

Interesting and useful project! I wonder – will this work only on enwiki,
or will it work in other languages and for other news websites around the

Not going to lie, that sounds really cool. Can't wait to see that
finished.

To put that into perspective: she's working on a feature in VE that
will let you paste in a URL to, say, a New York Times article, and
will then automatically generate and insert a {{cite news}} template
for you with all the right information (title of the article, author,
date, etc.). Some of you may have seen the demo that she and Erik did
at a metrics meeting earlier this year. This is really exciting,
because it's a big step forward towards the goal of making even
relatively complex tasks like inserting citations more convenient in
VE than in wikitext.
