Again most of that is gibberish to me but the first place to begin sorting it might be I do not know why BogHog changed to vcite or to vcite2 after he took over maintaining the Diberri tool Nor do I know what that means in every case The case I know about is that autism used vcite instead of cite because of load time issues Eubulides developed vcite for that purpose but Eubulides is gone and I remember at some point having a conversation with BogHog about the vcite vs vcite2 issues but the rest fades in memory That may or may not mean BogHog explained it all to me once and I may or may not have understood at the time When I use Boghog s new Diberri tool I edit the output to use the old standard form for consistency in citation style And I continue to use the vcite format in the autism suite That we now have a mix on FAs is because new editors may not always respect CITEVAR and I may not catch them all But there was once a clear standard across almost all medical content and is being systematically deteriorated to an inconsistent style that creates bloat and is hard to edit around Talk
