Gadget for subst'ing Cite_journal

I have created a quick gadget {subst:Template:Fcite_journal/subst|...} which can store subst'ed {Cite_journal} entries as simple wiki-text, omitting the <span class=...> and tedious COinS metadata. Unfortunately, there are still some formatting characters stored, such &#32 for space and "<b/>;" for semicolons, due to restrictions in storing lead-spaces or semicolons in text. However, the resulting text is portable to other wikis, which lack {Cite_journal}. Example (edit this talk-topic and look inside for results): 

{{subst:Fcite journal/subst
| last1 = Chin | first1 = H. B. | last2 = Sipe | first2 = T. A. 
| last3 = Elder | first3 = R.   | last4 = Mercer | first4 = S. L. 
| last5 = Chattopadhyay | first5 = S. K. | last6 = Jacob | first6 = V. 
| last7 = Wethington | first7 = H. R. | last8 = Kirby | first8 = D. 
| last9 = Elliston | first9 = D. B. 
| doi = 10.1016/j.amepre.2011.11.006 
| title = The Effectiveness of Group-Based Comprehensive Risk-Reduction and Abstinence Education Interventions to
 Prevent or Reduce the Risk of Adolescent Pregnancy, Human Immunodeficiency Virus, and Sexually Transmitted Infections 
| journal = American Journal of Preventive Medicine 
| volume = 42 | issue = 3 | pages = 272–294 | year = 2012 
| pmid = 22341164 | pmc = 
| url = http://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-3797(11)00906-8/abstract
}}

Subst'ed result: Chin, H. B.; Sipe, T. A.; Elder, R.; Mercer, S. L.; Chattopadhyay, S. K.; Jacob, V.; Wethington, H. R.; Kirby, D.; et al. (2012). "The Effectiveness of Group-Based Comprehensive Risk-Reduction and Abstinence Education Interventions to Prevent or Reduce the Risk of Adolescent Pregnancy, Human Immunodeficiency Virus, and Sexually Transmitted Infections". American Journal of Preventive Medicine  42 (3): 272–294. . PMID 22341164.
The {Fcite_journal/subst} handles most options of {Cite_journal} and puts "et al." for author9. Meanwhile, I am still working with Template:If to replace the "&#32" with simple spaces, but feel free to use it as needed. I know many articles have like "46" {cite_journal} entries, which can be too tedious for wiki-reformatting by hand. The next step, below, is to replace all {cite_pmid} entries.

Subst'ing Cite_pmid to Cite_journal to Fcite_journal/subst: To answer your original problem, edit the new page twice, copying all {cite_pmid} to the new page. First subst all of the {cite_pmid|222333} as slashed {subst:cite_pmid/222333|noedit}, and then re-edit that subst'ed page and subst all the new {cite_journal} entries:

  • Edit 1: Subst every {cite_pmid} with "/"
{subst:cite_pmid/111222|noedit}
{subst:cite_pmid/111333|noedit}
{subst:cite_pmid/111444|noedit}
Upon SAVE, all {cite_pmid/...} become {cite_journal} entries.
  • Edit 2: Subst every {cite_journal} with "F /subst"
{subst:Fcite_journal/subst |... pmid=111222|...}
{subst:Fcite_journal/subst |... pmid=111333|...}
{subst:Fcite_journal/subst |... pmid=111444|...}

By that 2-step process, then all {cite_pmid} will become simple wiki-text cites with no more templates in use. Should take just a few minutes to convert all 46 {cite_pmid} to clean, portable wiki-text. Ask below if any questions. -Wikid77 (talk) 19:29, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! According to this page, the project is supposed to go on line in autumn 2012. --Eike sauer (talk) 14:33, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Danke schoen! —Cupco 20:04, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! Concerning your message in the "Auskunft": Thank you very much, although most of us are not directly involved. ;) Looking at your machine translated text (the term "deutsches Volk" is somewhat unusal nowadays, see Volk (disambiguation)), it might be better you just ask in English though. :) Most poeple will understand it anyhow. --Eike (Diskussion) 19:29, 11.

Income inequality in the US

Please stop dumping junk into the article. The article is about income inequality, not tax policy and employment. See here. --BoogaLouie (talk) 01:08, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Feminist economics, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Inequity (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
