title="mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid">Citoid</a>) greatly reduces the time, effort and knowledge needed to insert citations, one of Wikipedia's main pillars.

This may be trivial if simply having to add or fix a field, but may require extra effort if the citation template must be changed.

Webpages that include structured metadata are generally understood seamlessly by Citoid. This is the best solution long term.</li> <li>If you know JavaScript (or can find someone who does) edit or create the specific <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/translators">Zotero translator</a> for the website you are trying to cite. Note that this may take some time until your changes are merged into the Zotero's repository, and then until updates are pulled into Wikimedia.
