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.
