Template:Cite doi
 | Template:cite doi is deprecated, but preserved for historical reasons. Please see Template:cite journal instead. |
 | Per consensus, this template should no longer be used. Instead, please use {{cite journal|doi=...}} (see documentation) or {{cite report|doi=...}} (see documentation). Also, this template is no longer filled by a bot, so humans have to fix it. |
Overview
{{Cite doi}} was a template that was used for citing a journal article using its DOI number. When this was functioning, an editor could use the template with the DOI number, and a bot would then fill out the full reference. However, the bot created a separate template page for each individual citation which were simply calls to {{cite journal}}. An RFC at this template's talk page concluded with the consensus that this template should no longer be used because of various problems caused by this system.
Instead use {{Visual Editor, does this too, and as well as other third-party tools.
