[20:30:35] <hare>	 James_F: is there like a Citoid API or something where I can plug in a link and get a citation back? :)
[20:35:09] <James_F>	 hare: Yes. Citoid is in fact the API, not the auto-cite feature in VE based on it.
[20:35:12] <James_F>	 hare: See http://citoid.wikimedia.org/
[20:35:26] <hare>	 I knew it was an external application of some sorts; was not sure if I as a commoner could use it.
[20:36:12] <hare>	 Has someone thought of making a bot that takes bare-link citations and feeds them through Citoid?
[20:38:25] <hare>	 also James_F, you'll be intrigued to hear that the NIOSH Wikipedia curriculum is going to be based exclusively on VisualEditor
[20:38:39] <James_F>	 hare: It's called VE. ;-)
[20:38:42] <James_F>	 hare: Neat.
[20:39:05] <hare>	 Does VisualEditor automatically turn bare-link references into citations without any prompting by the user?
[20:39:14] <James_F>	 hare: No.
[20:39:24] <hare>	 That's what I was asking about.
[20:39:58] <James_F>	 So editing references you haven't written but just happen to be on the page when you load it?
[20:40:01] <hare>	 Yes.
[20:40:10] <hare>	 A bot could do that, to clean up half-formed references.
[20:40:12] <hare>	 Such as those I write :)
[20:42:50] * James_F grins.
[20:43:03] <James_F>	 hare: Or you could write real references the first time 'round using VE. ;-)
[20:43:27] <hare>	 But that's not quite what I did from 2004-2013
[20:43:34] <hare>	 Also, others.
[20:44:11] <James_F>	 Tsk. :-)
[20:45:43] <hare>	 You do realize that for years, there was no fleshed out concept of a "proper" citation.
[20:45:46] <hare>	 I remember the days before <ref>
[20:45:52] <hare>	 Boy, do I remember those days.
[20:45:55] <hare>	 You do too.
[21:13:03] <MaxSem>	 James_F, HTTP? o_0
[21:17:21] <James_F>	 MaxSem: Hmm, point. We should re-route requests to it.
[21:18:40] <MaxSem>	 in principle, it should always force HTTPS
[21:20:05] <James_F>	 Yeah.
[21:26:25] <James_F>	 MaxSem: Filed as https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108632.
[21:26:35] <MaxSem>	 :)
[21:31:23] <hare>	 it already forces https if you use https everywhere :}
[21:32:01] <marktraceur>	 Hi, kids.
[21:39:21] <Negative24>	 marktraceur: hello?
[21:40:24] <James_F>	 … is it me you're looking for? I can see it in your eyes, I can see it in your smile …
[21:53:27] <marktraceur>	 Negative24: Just odd to see chatter in here.
[21:55:16] <hare>	 James_F: I may sound like a broken record, but is anyone embarking on developing a massive bibliography for sources used on Wikipedia, other than that TSV file halfak made?
[21:57:53] <James_F>	 hare: What TSV? And not AFAIAA.
