When e.g. doi:10.1021/acs.est.1c04158 (14 co-authors) is cited using the Visual Editor, it only considers the first 11 (en.wikipedia) or 5 (de.wikipedia) co-authors. Where is the maximum number of co-authors defined?
Topic on Talk:Citoid
The number of authors is defined by the template data in each citation template being used. The parameters must exist, and then must also be added to the citoid map.
For example, this is how you add more authors in en wiki to the cite journal template: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Cite_journal/doc&type=revision&diff=1103883139&oldid=1099054498&diffmode=source
However, the en wiki citation templates only display authors up to 9, so those won't be displayed in the citation, and will only be present in the wikitext.
Thank your for the explanation. When adding the citation above now (after your edit), all 14 authors are added to the source text. And they are all displayed, even though it says If more than nine authors are defined, then only eight will show and 'et al.' will show in place of the remaining authors.
In de.wikipedia, de:Vorlage:Literatur/Doku contains TemplateData and a citoid map. However, I don't see where the number of authors is set as 5. As opposed to en.wikipedia, all authors are put into one parameter.
That is odd - potentially a bug! Made a report here: task T315146
Unfortunately, the issue still exists, while the task did only get little attention.
