Citoid is a citation tool integrated in VisualEditor's visual and wikitext modes. The newest version supports URLs, DOIs, ISBNs and PMC/PMIDs, and can search by title or full citation for books and journal articles in the Crossref and WorldCat databases. It will attempt to generate a full, template-supported citation after an editor pastes either of these identifiers into the VisualEditor citation tool. The Editing Team would like feedback on this iteration of Citoid, especially from experienced editors familiar with Wikipedia's citation standards.
A different citation-filling service, called Wikipedia:RefToolbar, is available in the mw:2010 wikitext editor. In that light-blue toolbar, bring up the template wizard by clicking on the Cite dropdown and the Templates dropdown. Choose a template, then paste the URL into the URL field and click on the magnifying glass ("Autofill").
Optional: You can also install citoid to use directly from the 2010 wikitext editor. To do so, add the User:Salix alba/Citoid.js script to your Special:MyPage/skin.js page, and "Citoid" will be added to the "Tools" section of the sidebar. Just add:
importScript('User:Salix alba/Citoid.js'); // Linkback: [[User:Salix alba/Citoid.js]]
