:I've done a few more conversions this last weekend. I've been handling these roughly in order by number of transclusions. The 1100 uses of cite wikisource is roughly in the middle of the list of what is left. We'll probably get to it eventually, but it will likely be months before all of the 20+ minor templates are converted.

== Chapter and section ==

Why is there a restriction on using "chapter" and "section" at the same time? It seems to me there are legitimate need for the two to be used at the same time.Here is a book which has volume, sections and chapters:

*Bowen, Dr. Henry Lee; 1953; "Chapter 9. Victory in China"; ''The Army Air Forces in World War II''; Volume V The Pacific: Matterhorn to Nagasaki June 1944 to August 1945; Section II, Aid to China: The Theater Air Forces in CBI; University of Chicago Press.

:'section' originates from {{tl|cite manual}}. When I merged it into {{tl|cite book}}, I made 'section' and 'chapter' aliases. See below for more. --<span style="color:Turquoise">''''' &nbsp;[[User:Gadget850|Gadget850]]'''''^{[[User talk:Gadget850|&nbsp;''talk'']]}</span> 17:42, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

::I think that is not the best way to go. I have shown you above an example of where a book uses sections and chapters. -- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 09:27, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

== strip wikilinks from page, pages, at ==

This citation:

:{{citation |last=Cornelius Tacitus |first=Publius |author-link=Tacitus |title=[[s:la:De origine et situ Germanorum|De origine et situ Germanorum]] ''(On the Origin & Situation of the Germans)'' |at=[[s:la:De origine et situ Germanorum (Germania)#XL|Cap. XL]] |year=98 |ref={{harvid|Tacitus|98}} }}

uses

:{{para|at|<nowiki>[[s:la:De origine et situ Germanorum (Germania)#XL|Cap. XL]]</nowiki>}}

the module does not know how to strip the markup before adding it to the COinS.

== Sfnref ==

Integrate {{tl|sfnref}} into the CS1 templates. This would take two parameters: {{para|sfnref}} and {{para|sfnyear}}. --<span style="color:Turquoise">''''' &nbsp;[[User:Gadget850|Gadget850]]'''''^{[[User talk:Gadget850|&nbsp;''talk'']]}</span> 12:45, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

== postscript check ==

Check for 'postscript' with more than one character. I'm seeing some odd stuff inserted. --''''' &nbsp;[[User:Gadget850|<span style="color:gray">Gadget850&nbsp;(Ed)</span>]]'''''^{[[User talk:Gadget850|&nbsp;''talk'']]} 19:30, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

:My present reaction is that it may be too late for this. There appear to be too many people doing things like {{para|postcript|<nowiki><!-- None --></nowiki>}}, plus [[User:Citation bot]] has been putting a message about {{tl|inconsistent citations}} in the postscript. Insisting that it ought to be only one character seems a bit futile at this point. [[User:Dragons flight|Dragons flight]] ([[User talk:Dragons flight|talk]]) 22:25, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

::Perhaps just a hidden tracking category to see what is out there. --<span style="color:Turquoise">''''' &nbsp;[[User:Gadget850|Gadget850]]'''''^{[[User talk:Gadget850|&nbsp;''talk'']]}</span> 02:04, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

== Part ==

A part= parameter would be useful, see for example:

* [http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Military_periodicals_online#The_United_Service_Journal_and_Naval_and_Military_Magazine The United Service Journal and Naval and Military Magazine] where there are volumes divided into two parts for each year in the volume.

*{{Cite Notitia Parliamentaria |part=1}}

*{{Cite Notitia Parliamentaria |part=2}}

-- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 13:41, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

:Also useful would be column (col.), paragraph (para.); track; hours, minutes and seconds; act, scene, canto, book, part, folio, stanza, back cover, liner notes, indicia, colophon, dust jacket, verse and probably a lot more. But this is why we have the catchall 'at' field where you can add free text where 'chapter' and 'page' don't exactly fit. --<span style="color:Turquoise">''''' &nbsp;[[User:Gadget850|Gadget850]]'''''^{[[User talk:Gadget850|&nbsp;''talk'']]}</span> 17:45, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

::By that argument volume may as well be removed! A difference is made between chapter and page. A similar difference needs to be made between volume and part. In parts page numbering often restarts. Most of the items you have listed in your first sentence are attributes of the same physical book (and are other ways of pinpointing information within a physical book). Part is different, it frequently describes a physical book with its own page numbering. -- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 09:26, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
