Hello.
Is there anyone here who would like to join a discussion on English
Wikipedia about citation structure? Some of us at WikiProject Medicine
would like to meet anyone in the Wikidata community who could say something
about the future of citations and Wikidata.
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.

Thanks to anyone who can comment, even if just to say that you know nothing
about this and know no one working on Wikidata citations. We just wanted to
seek feedback before we made great changes.
yours,
