Enable Citoid on all wikis

 N Does not require engineering resources

  • Problem: Citoid isn't found in many Wikis including Meitei Wikipedia (mni wiki), Assamese Wikipedia (as wiki), Fiji Hindi Wikipedia (hif wiki) and many others. Many wikis, like Simple English Wikipedia, have malfunctioning citation tools also.
  • Who would benefit: Everyone who use citation tools
  • Proposed solution: Please allow every wikis to access citation tool. And please fix the malfunction of the citation tools in the already supported wikis.
  • More comments: In Simple English Wikipedia, though the citation tool is present, it is not working for every reference links. In this Wikipedia, citation tool converter works for book reference links like links of Google Books, archive org, etc. However, the citation tool doesn't work for news links, web links, and others. For frequent citation tool users like me, we have to convert the citations from bare url to well maintained non bare url, all by manual edits. Manual edits take a lot of efforts as well as a lot of time. However, such malfunctioning of the citation tool isn't found in Arabic Wikipedia, Spanish Wikipedia, etc. as I had observed. Their citation tools can convert any links of any kind.
