Displaying DOI in {{Citation}} on Wikisource

seems to work only if

is set.

Sometimes, URL and DOI fields are garbled up:

| url = [http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/handle/2246/2848 http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/handle/2246/2848][http://dx.doi.org/10.1206/0003-0082(2003)419%3C0001:ANSOMF%3E2.0.CO;2 10.1206/0003-0082(2003)419<0001:ANSOMF>2.0.CO;2]

instead of

| url = [http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/handle/2246/2848 http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/handle/2246/2848]
| doi = [http://dx.doi.org/10.1206/0003-0082(2003)419%3C0001:ANSOMF%3E2.0.CO;2 10.1206/0003-0082(2003)419<0001:ANSOMF>2.0.CO;2]

(cf. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:WikiProject_Open_Access/Programmatic_import_from_PubMed_Central/Three_new_species_of_Oreophryne_%28Anura_Microhylidae%29_from_Papua_New_Guinea ).

This should be fixed before or during the Wikimania Hackathon: wpoa/OA-signalling#101 , taking into account https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Template_talk:Header#Header_for_journal_articles .

Look at the source wikitext, and search "10.1206/0003-0082(2003)4190001:ANSOMF2.0.CO;2". You'll see the citation template for ref B31 looks like Daniel's first example above.

Okay, so the issue here seems to be extra, unnecessary formatting around the doi and url values that the {{Citation}} chokes on. Removing all this, and specifying the necessary and accurate key-value pairs solves formatting problems across the article references--except when the DOI contains [ or ] as is the case for 10.1206/0003-0082(2005)495[0001:SOMFGO]2.0.CO;2.

Hilariously, even markdown avoids this issue with bracket characters [ ]... (see the source of the link I just used).

You can see the diff of how I cleaned the citations here:
https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Wikisource%3AWikiProject_Open_Access%2FProgrammatic_import_from_PubMed_Central%2FThree_new_species_of_Oreophryne_%28Anura_Microhylidae%29_from_Papua_New_Guinea&diff=4982314&oldid=4970941

One way to handle the special character issue is to use the id field instead of doi and url:

| id = 10.1206/0003-0082(2005)495[0001:SOMFGO]2.0.CO;2

No link is generated, instead displaying in plain text without any rendering issue.

hrm... added and removed a regression because I thought the empty citations were a standard case, but they are actually fringe. This is an uncommonly un-marked-up citation from 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003496 which can be seen on-wiki here

However, this presents the same form to potentially scrap all the citation formatting, but instead just pass the plain text citations along, and let this be a bother for wikidata in the future instead.
