the COINS warning: where not to use, exactly?
For examplwe Val has the COINS note saying "not in templates such as CS1". Could it be more specific? Does it include ? -DePiep (talk) 10:16, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Format of COinS fields
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 Dual-Vth Independent-Gate FinFETs for Low Power Logic Circuits. This produces i.e. the HTML markup is preserved. Is this OK or not?

Unmaintained standard
@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)


 * 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)
