== Citoid version -- [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 05:42, July 16, 2019 (EDT) == Hi. Can you explain how Citoid fixed work? Does the extension need updating to include them? How do we know which patches / fixes need a code update and which are for an external service? I noticed some fixed are labeled as '''waiting for deploy ''' [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 05:42, July 16, 2019 (EDT) :I can share my understanding, but my understanding may be incomplete: **There is an external citoid '''server''' which performs the actual conversion from URL to citation. **The citoid '''extension''' mostly exists just to connect the VisualEditor to the external citoid server. **The default citoid '''server''' that the citoid '''extension''' connects to is probably https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/#!/Citation/getCitation but I'm not sure about that. Thanks to the Wikimedia Foundation for providing this free service. **Zotero is a non-profit that develops citation management software that includes a "Translation server" to convert URL's to citations. **Wikimedia Foundation has adapted Zotero's "Translation server" as the code for the citoid '''server'''. **Although the non-profit Zotero frequently updates their "Translation server", Wikimedia Foundation doesn't implement the updates that frequently. More info: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Citoid/Determining_if_a_URL_has_a_translator_in_Zotero **Wikimedia Foundation currently stores their citoid server code on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/62/ **I assume that when a bug on Phabricator is moved from "Waiting for deploy" to "Resolved", it means that the fix has been deployed from Phabricator to the external citoid server. **The Citoid '''extension''' should only be updated when the MediaWiki software itself is updated, as each version of MediaWiki requires its own version of the citoid extension. :Hope this helps :[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 23:34, July 17, 2019 (EDT)
