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.
