::May I also ask why prefix part isn't included in the template? If this site is going to go through quite a bit of work to convert all the citations, it makes sense to me to go 'all the way' and make the whole thing a template, prefix and all. It'll probably never happen, but just in case this wiki decided to rename a prefix or change how cites look, it would be much easier to just change the template than all the citations again (I know this was quite a while ago but the move of NOTDWU to NOTVALID comes to mind).

:::I don't think that bit's viable, because you sometimes want to cite things like (PROSE: SOURCE1, SOURCE2). | |||
:::I'm also not sure about Ettolrhc's comment, since what she's asking for seems, well, epistemically inaccessible in some instances - surely the person who has only consumed one version of the work only knows what's in that one version. (It also doesn't comment on the different ranges that Dead Romance could be attributed to. But that's something without an obvious solution, so it's understandable.)
