Templating sources
Can you explain this edit? Why did you template some sources but not others? Why did you template any of them at all? Maybe there's some best practice about structured data where I'm ignorant and you can dispel a little. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:14, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
 * The page had 18 citation templates by my count before my edits today, so templating additional citations seems appropriate. I focus on templating journal citations. I may not have found all of them in this article, I'm happy to have another look at it if you would like me to? Rjwilmsi  17:19, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
 * , You're certainly free to but I don't want you to do something that isn't worth your time. Again, I'm not clear on why you did this at all: what's the purpose? ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:38, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I think that complete citations with links to access them (or at least part of them) are important and valuable. Rjwilmsi  06:41, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Resolvin page
The Resolvin page, which has a few problems, could be merged into the Specialized pro-resolving mediators page. I could do it but would like your opinion on this. Thanks. joflaher (talk) 14:21, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

"Canceled American television shows (2010-2011)" listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Canceled American television shows (2010-2011). Since you had some involvement with the Canceled American television shows (2010-2011) redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so.

Note for Tourette syndrome suite citation style
Hi, Rjwilmsi. Regarding this edit, when I originally wrote the entire suite of articles related to Tourette syndrome, I was using a manual citation style because (back then) there were so many vagaries in the citation templates that I couldn't make citations consistent. Recently, I switched Tourette syndrome and most of the sub-articles to citation templates, but I see I missed some. You will probably find others. A year ago, changing it would have been a WP:CITEVAR problem; today, it is cool if you convert any you find. Best regards, Sandy Georgia (Talk)  18:30, 11 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I'm currently working through a list of articles that have a mixture of citation templates and PMID, so yes I expect to find more citations to template, though have no particular focus on any particular topic, medical or otherwise. (I am still conscious that if there are other established articles not using citation templates I'll most likely need to leave them as-is). Rjwilmsi  18:37, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Problem edit
Hello, can you revisit this edit as the year added for the journal of 2025 is obviously incorrect. Keith D (talk) 13:26, 17 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks, that one fixed. I'll investigate why my script seemed to pull a year from the page/article number field. Rjwilmsi  14:09, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Adding cite journal with AWB
Thank you very much for your work adding cite journal, it's impressive. How do you do it? Can you share some code for other AWB users to replicate? I think there are tens of thousands of unstructured citations to migrate to cite journal, for instance it's easy to find many of them looking for page ranges.

Do you also do replacements of unstructured or poorly formatted citations used on multiple pages? A few days ago I saw an article cited in the infobox of some 200 pages which all needed the same edits. (Maybe such a citation is best moved to a template?). Nemo 08:35, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

script needs a tweak
created a template with a wikilink in title and assigned a value to pmc. Because pmc auto-links the value in title, the resulting url conflicts with the existing wikilink. When that happens, cs1|2 emits a URL–wikilink conflict error.
