It's transcluded into what you see on the template:Doi page (add "?action=purge" to the end of the address line in your browser if it's not updated after your edit). --Ligulem 23:47, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: This bug is fixed in newer MediaWiki versions (tried it today). In principle we could change the template. The documentation of urlencode templte states this, too: Help:Parser_function#URLENCODE. -- Thetaphi (talk) 19:30, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  delete this template 

message: Can we have the output of the template be "DOI:" instead of "doi:" ? This is to bring this template in line with the  output. --Rifleman 82 04:26, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not good. DOIs should generally be treated as URIs and URIs should spell the "protocol"-part in lowercase (e.g. http: ftp: hdl: doi: urn:). This was discussed on German wikipedia, too and the spelling was changed to lowercase. I am member of one of the non-crossref DOI-supplying organizations (http://www.std-doi.de) and we try to propse the URI notation of DOIs. Almost all publishers use doi:, examples from our field are: , . One example how to cite a DOI: How to cite with DOI @ Elsevier -- Thetaphi (talk) 13:05, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: By the way:  was changed to lowercase long time ago! -- Thetaphi (talk) 13:15, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems convincing, so I changed it back to use "doi:" . Thanks for your comment. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 14:22, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Caps 

message: The following DOI contains parentheses, and seems to fail to link properly:
(The link is there, but it the text of the DOI isn't linked.)  
Where is the problem here? 13:20, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have reverted. The reason id/label was implemented was that, for some reason, the #urlencode simply did not work (I think there's a bug filed for it, actually). Hence the new form made the link practically invisible. Circeus (talk) 21:45, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Parenthesis?

message: I don't understand what the parameter “label” is good for. The version without this parameter produces exactly the same link as the one with the parameter:

Special characters (see old version of doc) have to be replaced in the parameter “id” anyway. --Leyo 22:11, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: At some points, it appears that the way urls are handled was changed at they now allow unescaped carets (I was not aware of this), which was not possible back in December/January. Any attempt to use the new format with brackets still broke the template, though, hence my revert. I'll just rewrite the current documentation to account for this. Circeus (talk) 23:28, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Better now? Only square brackets require the id/label system.Circeus (talk) 23:32, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Please have a look at the source code of my examples. Both types of brackets have to be replaced in the parameter “id” as shown here. Like this, the link is working and the link text is correct, even without using the parameter “label”. --Leyo 08:12, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I looked at that and spent twenty minutes Monday fiddling and trying to figure out just what the heck was to be replaced by what in which parameters before giving up. Whatever one was supposed to do, the page was not clear enough about what it was. Circeus (talk) 17:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't exactly understand what you mean. However, it seems that this parameter is not in use very often: Template Tiger result. --Leyo 19:05, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tweak for print 

message: If an admin could put  into , that would be peachy. What it does is check if the DOI starts with '10.Foobar'. If not, it throws an error message and populates :Category:Pages with DOI errors. It's tested and everything. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 19:13, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  RFCs on citations templates and the flagging free-to-read sources 

message: The template documentation given here explains how to use this template to produce a link to a DOI document without producing an error.  Which is great.  But it does NOT explain to an editor WHERE to use such a template, which means knowledge of correct application of the template is presumed.  I have my own guesses, but it would be great if someone involved with this template provided at least a few sentences in the template documentation explaining where a person might want to use this template on Wikipedia.  Thank you.  KDS4444 (talk) 01:35, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
