Overview
edit{{Cite doi}}was a template that was used for citing a journal article using itsDOInumber. When this was functioning, an editor could use the template with the DOI number, and abotwould then fill out the full reference. However, the bot created a separate template page for each individual citation which were simply calls to{{cite journal}}.AnRFC at this template's talk pageconcluded with the consensus that this template should no longer be used because of various problems caused by this system.
Instead use{{cite journal|doi=...}}(or{{cite report|doi=...}}if it wasn't published in a bona fide academic journal), which allows you to specify the DOI, then run the citation bot on the page. TheCitoid feature,which is part ofVisual Editor,does this too, and as well as other third-party tools.
