: Did you verify that there are not whites that got changed? i cannot look right now. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 15:44, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

::I'm not sure what 'changing whites' would be here, but it did something similar in the previous edit [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Smalls_Paradise&diff=prev&oldid=863853742], where normally it removes publisher in cite journals. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 18:14, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

::: If it does than that's another bug. It shouldn't remove the publisher parameter in cite journal templates unless the publisher value would be the same as the journal value. (And, actually, for optimal meta data it shouldn't even remove it then for as long as it is correct, so that both meta data entries journal and publisher can be populated. Instead, seemingly duplicate values should be detected in the cite template and one of the values suppressed in the output, but not in meta data.)

:I just saw it remove a publisher from a "journal" that is really a newsletter whose publisher should not have been removed: Special:Diff/866664956. For major well-established academic journals, removal of publisher may be a good thing, but blindly doing it to all journal citations is not. Citation bot absolutely should not be making this kind of decision, and should not even be suggesting it to human editors (as they too-often fail to exercise any judgement of their own). —David Eppstein (talk) 21:02, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Try running the bot on http://europepmc.org/scanned?pageindex=1&articles=PMC1697073. You would expect to get something like:

{{Cite journal |last=Barker |first=C. A. |year=1975 |title=The Ontario Veterinary College: Temperance Street era |journal=The Canadian Veterinary Journal = la Revue Veterinaire Canadienne |volume=16 |issue=11 |pages=319–328 |pmc=1697073 |pmid=1104138}}

but instead you will get

{{Cite journal | url=http://europepmc.org/scanned?pageindex=1&articles=PMC1697073 | title=The Ontario Veterinary College: Temperance Street era| journal=The Canadian Veterinary Journal| volume=16| issue=11| pages=319| date=November 1975| last1=Pmc| first1=Europe}}

In a call like https://tools.wmflabs.org/citations/process_page.php?edit=toolbar&user=Headbomb&page=Steve_Bieda, does edit=toolbar do anything? Because I'd like to have some ways to tell the bot that it was triggered via {{tl|Draft article}} or citation expander, or similar.

We might want to rename the parameter to allow something like

• https://tools.wmflabs.org/citations/process_page.php?via={{urlencode:User:Headbomb/citation.js}}&user=Headbomb&page=Steve_Bieda
• https://tools.wmflabs.org/citations/process_page.php?via={{urlencode:the citation expander}}&user=Headbomb&page=Steve_Bieda
• https://tools.wmflabs.org/citations/process_page.php?via={{urlencode:Template:Draft_article}}&user=Headbomb&page=Steve_Bieda.

:I wonder what the audience of this additional message would be? To most users, what is important is the content and motivation of an edit, rather than the circumstances in which an editor came to make it. If I have a clear understanding of the motivation for this change, I'll be able to consider the best way to implement it. Martin (Smith609 – Talk) 08:56, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

::The goal is mostly to have a way to see where Citation bot is used from. How many of those edits were triggered by the web interface? How many were from user scripts and from which userscript, or how many from templates and which templates (and do any need updating)? How many were done via the Citation Expander gadget? It's not necessarily to have 'official' stats (it would be nice though), but knowing where the bot is used from is nice, and could let us give help to newbies that run into issues with the bot. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 10:32, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

:::For example, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Lil_ginger_ale&diff=prev&oldid=856749098] was most likely triggered from {{tl|Draft article}}, present on Draft:Lil ginger ale (we sadly can't feed who used the Template from the template because we don't have a {{CURRENTUSERNAME}} magicword/variable), but knowing it was triggered from the template means it has a fairly high chance of being used by a newbie, and was probably triggered by [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Lil_ginger_ale&action=history one of these people]. So that lets us (or at least me) customize feedback to people. If I see someone doing something weird/unusual with the bot from {{tl|Draft article}} vs Web Interface vs Gadget vs User Scripts, well you more or less have a continuum of likely noob vs likely noob/intermediate vs likely intermediate vs likely advanced user dealing with the bot.

Investigating. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 21:41, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

:If the Citation bot can easily read & process the HTML Meta tags for the page, it could sometimes do better for these cases.

:For the example Nature URL, prism.doi, dc.identifier, DOI meta tags all provide the doi, though the first two give doi:....

:I think the prism. tags may also work for some newspapers.

:Wikipedia:Scripts/Perl scripts/hdump-head.pl was my ugly attempt at this. Hope this is useful. RDBrown (talk) 08:13, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

:: can you point to a single page where prism works better? Also, we need php, not perl generally. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 19:42, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

:: I needed to fix the perl script for https after that, this is the output for the Nature url Josve05a referenced
