Can we be more specific? A quick Google search (generate citation from ISBN) shows a number of tools that generate citations from a database; in at least one case, that's WorldCat, via its API (https://www.worldcat.org/affiliate/tools?atype=wcapi ). Maybe it takes a lawyer to negotiate the price, but it's perhaps calling this "Epic" is a bit of an overstatement - it looks like other organizations have done so, and - given that at least one appears to have as its business model getting revenues from online ads - perhaps the price is quite reasonable?

And, hopefully, once an API is available, that's 90% of the solution.

Hi John,

We've been in contact with WorldCat for over a year now and we're still
working on a contract. Hopefully we'll have something soon.

This has been deployed to prod, but isn't active yet. Setting to stalled until that happens, as we need to negotiate a token, set the outgoing IP, etc.

When can we expect to have all of this done? :)

@Trizek-WMF: @Jdforrester-WMF is working on getting the agreement with oclc finalised, at which point we'll have access to keys and tokens and so forth.

This has been deployed in production, time to resolve it (finally) ?

• Elitre added a comment.Dec 7 2016, 3:17 PM

I tried with 978-3-16-148410-0 and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AElitre_%28WMF%29%2FSandbox&type=revision&diff=753499569&oldid=724465258 is the result (interestingly, it doesn't feature the ISBN number as I'd expect). If this is indeed solved, we should update at least the citoid-citefromdialog-search-label message.

We'll do that as part of T145462: Provide auto-citations based on ISBNs in Wikimedia production alongside announcements and so on.

That's a bug. Sigh. :). Should probably fix that before we tell anyone about this! :D

TemplateData is finally all updated, so that's good. It took a little longer than I thought it would.
