Deployed the pmid only fix, but Pubmed central seems to be working as well. They must have unblocked us before I even deployed? Sort of resolved but I want to fix pmc central and book urls as well.

I agree this would be helpful, but it requires us to pick a citation template since we don't actually have any way of deciding one in the absence of the itemType field from the returned metadata.

Mvolz added a comment to T344220: Zotero Wikidata translator can't handle redirects to entities in the RDF.

Kind of resolved (waiting for deploy) but the PR I did only prevents the translator from failing by just skipping the author which is not ideal, so leaving this open for now. The RDF produced by wikidata with the redirect is weird as well as it duplicates authors that aren't even affected, and that went away when the redirect was removed - might also be an upstream bug with the rdf from wikidata?

Mvolz added a comment to T127354: Help some smaller Wikipedias' communities by writing the TemplateData and enabling citoid for them.

Currently, we still no manual citation with no automatic citation, we would love to have the citation options of the Dagbani Wikipedia (dag.wikipedia.org)

Hello,
I wish to request support with setting up citations in the Gurene Wikipedia. (gur.wikipedia.org).

Please enable citoid at the Gurene Wikipedia. gur.wikipedia.org

For this we need to know what citation templates gur wiki uses.

I had a look to see what templates are used there, is this the only one? https://gur.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C9%9Bmpileti:Cite_web

I note there that historically there was a different template for papers Tɛmpileti:Tlf but this seems to have been deleted? Are there any templates for academic papers or books that I haven't found?

Yes. So, the automatic citation feature depends on what templates the community uses for manual citations.

I notice dag wiki has for example Cite news, but gur has at some point merged the two... in order to set up things we would either need to use only Cite web, or if the community agrees they want it exactly like dag wiki we could import the other templates (it looks like they just imported the ones from en wiki mostly).

Thanks for the efforts. We would love to have the cite web, cite book, cite news and all the other templates that allows for automatic bibliographic citation for references. We look forward to the deployment procedure or processes.

Mvolz updated subscribers of T342312: Allow automatic citation generation on Wikiquotes.

At present, citoid wraps everything in a ref tag, which wikiquote doesn't use, so enabling it wouldn't be useful to enable there. And they haven't enabled VE on en wikiquote, anyway. Though you can enable the wikitext 2020 editor in preferences which in theory one could use it with.

I just had a quick look. There are about 10 lines of non-boilerplate PHP code in this extension. All it effectively does is conditionally loading JavaScript modules and configuration. To be honest I think there is nothing that would benefit from having PHPUnit test coverage.

Mvolz added a comment to T336298: User notice for no ISBN support in Citoid.

I presume that Open Library is not as comprehensive (it's the same as any other downstream collection like Google Books, it doesn't contain all possible ISBNs).

Not a safe assumption. I don't know what you mean by "downstream" or "all possible", but OpenLibrary attempts to import all known ISBN codes with sufficient metadata. Some of their sources can be seen at:

ISBNdb is more comprehensive, but their licensing is less clear.

I'm not sure how IA compares to LoC in terms of coverage?

LoC dumps get imported somewhat regularly, I'm not sure about updates between dump releases. It's possible to inspect the dumps to compare: https://openlibrary.org/developers/dumps

So I would second using Zotero's ISBN endpoint in Citoid. The Internet Archive cannot be better than that because the national libraries' catalogues are the reference for metadata of any book in print.

Yes and no. Zotero is great and we should use it wherever possible, but it's impractical to run it through hundreds of targets. So it would be far easier to target a meta-catalogue.

Not all national libraries are tasked with cataloguing the entire national book production, and those who do tend to be more active in the open data field, which means their data is more likely to be in OpenLibrary.

K10plus is amazing but it probably skews towards books published in USA/Europe. OpenLibrary can be a good default to cover anything else which we don't know where to search.

To me it seems to me that people who have +2 on repos in gerrit should get the "maintainer" role, and then other people have the developer role, and we protect main branches such that only maintainers, not developers+maintainers have it?

That sounds right to me.

Did you consider using LoC or some other national library?

Most if not all big libraries should support OAI-PMH. OAI can be used as a dump (kind of) to get all book descriptions and keep them on some Wikimedia server.

Most big libraries have some API which you could use directly to search for ISBN. Many probably use Z39.50 which is not very friendly, but doable for ISBN searches. Polish national library (BN) also has a custom API that support JSON, XML and MARC (but it is a custom API, so probably better for a local tool or gadget then a global search service).

Thanks for your suggestion! For the time being we have have enabled Zotero's ISBN endpoint internally which primarily uses Library of Congress (T336727)

With Zotero it would be possible to support other national libraries in addition by contributing a translator for them here: https://github.com/zotero/translators

Added support for the Polish National Library (BN):
https://github.com/zotero/translators/pull/3036

Would be great if you could add that for Wikipedia. LoC have some foreign records, but Wikipedia user reported that e.g. ISBN 8301136545 is missing (available in BN).

Stupid question. Is the Open Library API https://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/api/books a usable alternative? In particular ISBN via the .json format?

I presume that Open Library is not as comprehensive (it's the same as any other downstream collection like Google Books, it doesn't contain all possible ISBNs).

Did you consider using LoC or some other national library?

Most if not all big libraries should support OAI-PMH. OAI can be used as a dump (kind of) to get all book descriptions and keep them on some Wikimedia server.

Most big libraries have some API which you could use directly to search for ISBN. Many probably use Z39.50 which is not very friendly, but doable for ISBN searches. Polish national library (BN) also has a custom API that support JSON, XML and MARC (but it is a custom API, so probably better for a local tool or gadget then a global search service).

Hmm, I also can't write to the target branch (master, currently) because it's protected.

That was almost good enough, but only being a developer means I don't have access to the settings tab, which means I can't set the default branch to "main" instead of master after I imported it, i.e. here: https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/mediawiki/services/zotero-translators

And the "pick a group or namespace" option doesn't seem to be anywhere on that page... permissions issue with my account maybe? (Do I need to be an owner, maybe, not just a developer?)

I enabled project creation for "Developers + Maintainers" for the moment - try now?

Granted access there - keep in mind it's early days on that namespace and things might get shuffled around a bit!

Thanks! I also need to move a repository into mediawiki/services ... I've requested permissions via the button to access the services group, is that all I need to do?
