the COINS warning: where not to use, exactly?

edit

For examplwe {{Val}} has the COINS note saying "not in templates such as CS1". Could it be more specific? Does it include {{#tag:ref|...}}? -DePiep (talk) 10:16, 6 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Format of COinS fields

edit

From information available on Wikipedia it's unclear to me what data format is expected in COinS and therefore what counts as "polluting". At Fin field-effect transistor there is a CS1 citation with |title=Dual-V<sub>th</sub> Independent-Gate FinFETs for Low Power Logic Circuits. This produces rft.atitle=Dual-V%3Csub%3Eth%3C%2Fsub%3E+Independent-Gate+FinFETs+for+Low+Power+Logic+Circuits i.e. the HTML markup is preserved. Is this OK or not?

Unmaintained standard

edit

@Remsense, hi! It seems to me that it should be explicitly stated that the standard is not used almost anywhere outside of Wikipedia and is not supported by official developers. You can check the official sites and guides: https://ocoins.info/, https://www.oclc.org/research/activities/openurl.html. Iniquity (talk) 17:54, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I just did a search to find new sources for the COinS article, and found absolutely nothing published after 2012. Daask (talk) 19:04, 10 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
