Template:Cite doi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Template documentation[edit] Usage
Saves you filling out a ref tag and {{cite journal}} template every time you want to cite a source. If your source has a DOI, just enter {{Cite doi|doi of your source}}.
If Wikipedia already has information about that reference, it will automatically create a reference tag with the full citation details of the reference in the article. If not, it will prompt you to add the DOI to wikipedia's database, with the assistance of a bot.
Use like this:
<ref name=Example2006>{{Cite doi|10.1146/annurev.earth.33.092203.122621}}</ref>
To refer to the same reference elsewhere in the document, use:
<ref name=Example2006/>
[edit] Technical overview
The template works by transcluding a template, which is stored as Template:cite doi/anchor_encoded_version_of_DOI. This subpage is filled out by a bot using the {{cite journal}} syntax.
