At WikiProject Medicine we coordinate translation and
reuse a lot of
citations, and also do more review of sources than most other
Wikimedia
communities. Because of this, we are talking about deprecating template:cite
PMID, template cite doi, and by extension Citation bot. While the problems
people are experiencing are serious, I had the idea that Wikidata would
eventually address a lot of citation problems but I do not know when that
would be. If no one has plans then we at WikiProject Medicine will work for
a quick solution now, but if there are plans, we would like to hear thoughts
from anyone thinking about this.
There is only one serious problem in the Wikidata side at this point : we
can't
access any item datas on any page. But discussions about these
problems are alrady taking place on wikiprojects like
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Books_task_force and maybe the datas
can already been entered or imported and be used to source wikidata
statements about desease for example.
And you can't put more than 400 characters in an item.
