Convert to CS1-based template?

edit

@Trappist the monk:, @Jonesey95:, any chance of converting this one (and others in the vcite family) to make use of the CS1 base? It's lacking quite a few features, and its identifier handling is quite poor. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 02:39, 25 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

As of this writing, the vcite suite has:
{{vcite book}}: 237 transclusions
{{vcite journal}}: 329 transclusions
{{vcite news}}: 105 transclusions
{{vcite web}}: 208 transclusions
Hardly enough, I think to warrant the substantial effort that would be required to support them properly as cs1 templates even if there was a hue and cry from the editing populus to do so.

@Trappist the monk: But wouldn't it simply just involve invoking the existing {{cite journal}}, and forcing |name-list-format=vanc on? Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 14:24, 25 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • |chapterid=
  • |chapterlanguage=
  • |chapterupdate=
  • |column=
  • |contenttype=
  • |editionphrase=
  • |editionphrase.=
  • |harvid=
  • |home=
  • |home.=
  • |homeaccessdate=
  • |homedate=
  • |homeedition=
  • |homeeditionphrase=
  • |homeeditionphrase.=
  • |homeformat=
  • |homelanguage=
  • |homenotes=
  • |homeupdate=
  • |homeurl=
  • |journal.=
  • |journalformat=
  • |notes=

  • |volumetitle=
  • |volumetitle.=

I don't know how many of those are actually used.
