Description

As an editor I can get paste a link or DOI into a simple form to get an auto-filled citation.

A user has their cursor in a place they would like to add a citation.
They click the Cite button on the toolbar.
An inspector opens in context, showing the title "Cite" a URL field, and a "Lookup" button.

Hi Marielle,
I think we should leave the user on the same screen, in case they messed up the number and want to try again.
We should show an error message that says something like "We couldn't find that book" and maybe give a hint like "An ISBN is usually 10 or 13 digits."
And the user still has the option at the bottom to go to the screen to enter the citation manually.

No. Everything is backed up on T89656: Get citoid working in production which has an unknown schedule.

FYI citoid does not support ISBNs yet so I edited that bit out- very surprised to find out we supported ISBNs when I read the tech bulletin on my RSS reader this morning, and it was probably because it was in the description here.

@gpaumier Also, I noticed this is tagged "not ready to announce" yet - does that not apply to tech bulletin? If so there's still technically time to remove it because even though it ended up in my RSS reader, because publication is not technically until tomorrow.

(I find the link to the design page confusing. Some parts of the interface are different in production - and the last 2 screenshots on the page would show the regular Cite flow - which is not so "connected" to Citoid.)

Mvolz added a comment.Mar 22 2015, 12:13 PM

Elitre, I agree. It hasn't been re-triggered for translation yet so there
is still time to remove that link.

Thank you for the heads-up. I wasn't sure we'd be announcing this in Tech News, because I was confused about the status of this feature, due to last week's rushed deployment. This is why this task was marked as "Not ready to announce" (which does apply to Tech News). On Friday, James added the item to the newsletter, and I edited it to use simpler language; I also added the ISBN bit, based on this task's title.

@gpaumier Also, I noticed this is tagged "not ready to announce" yet - does that not apply to tech bulletin? If so there's still technically time to remove it because even though it ended up in my RSS reader, because publication is not technically until tomorrow.

Yes, however we can't make last-minute edits to the newsletter because that only changes the English version; translators need more time to echo the changes.

Considering that:

  • the current text is inaccurate and could cause confusion if sent,
  • the current text only concerns two wikis that have already been notified of the feature,
  • and there is no urgency in sending this information,

I've removed the Citoid item from this week's issue entirely, and added it to the list of items to announce in next week's newsletter.
