"WP:COINS" redirects here. For the WikiProject on coins, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics.
For ContextObjects in Spans other than on Wikipedia, see COinS.
In this example, Zotero is displaying the references it can retrieve. The OpenURL referrer is responsible for the Find in a library links.

ContextObjects in Spans (COinS) is a unmaintained method of embedding latent OpenURL ContextObjects in web pages. This allows client software to retrieve bibliographic metadata and to use an OpenURL resolver to find a mediated link. A principal advantage of using COinS, rather than giving a static OpenURL, is that the client can determine which resolver to use. This allows, for instance, searching for a copy of a book in one's own library.

COinS have been added to various parts of Wikipedia. They are basically just a chunk of bibliographic information stored in a way that machines can read. This has two applications:

  • The information can be converted into a full OpenURL and resolved by a local OpenURL resolver.
  • The information can be stored by bibliographic tools like Zotero.[1] The tool can download the bibliographic information from an article into a personal library for future research and retrieval.
    • Zotero also has Wikipedia export,[2] which allows references to be dragged into a Wikipedia edit box, where they will appear formatted as Wikipedia citation templates.

So far, COinS have been added to:

For use on templates generating COinS:

It adds pages to the above category.

Templates needing COinS

COinS could, and should, be added to these templates:

The COinS keys used in most Citation Style 1 templates are listed at Module talk:Citation/CS1/COinS.

Pollution

edit

Incorrect data in fields can pollute the metadata. For example, adding all of the authors into the deprecated |authors= parameter:

Markup Renders as 
{{cite book |authors=Smith, John; Johnson, Joe; Green, Ethan |title=Big Compilation Book with Many Chapters and Distinct Chapter Authors |publisher=Book Publishers |date=January 1, 2001 |pages=100–110 |chapter=Chapter 2: The History of the Bloggs Family |isbn=978-1-234-56789-7}}

This would pollute the metadata, therefore the citation template suppresses the generation of metadata for |authors=, thereby omitting vital citation data from being submitted.
