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]

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