Hello,

We have retired the subdomain citoid.wikimedia.org at 17:00 UTC today. As previously indicated by James, the way to reach Citoid, the citation service, is now exclusively through the REST API~[1].

Cheers, Marko Obrovac, PhD Senior Services Engineer Wikimedia Foundation

Hey all,

The citoid service, which looks up URLs and similar strings and turns them into citations, has moved to be accessed via RESTbase as part of decommissioning the per-service domain system[0]. The old domain will stop working on *1 May 2017* (just under two months from now).

In simple terms, this means that requests to citoid via citoid.wikimedia.org/api?… (*e.g.* [1]) now need to go to {wiki domain}/api/rest_v1/data/citoid/… (*e.g.* [2]) to work. End-point documentation is available in the usual place.[3]

We have already moved the automatic citation feature inside the visual editor to use the domain. If you are responsible for a script, gadget, or tool which is using the old domain, please switch over before the deadline.
