the below items are in progress. notes likely look like hodgepodge and miscellany to eyes that are not mine, but more power to you if you can extract anything useful

task: replace all duplicate single references with a multireference

duplicate unnamed references and duplicate named references are vanilla features in general fixes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/General_fixes#Duplicate_Named_References_(DuplicateNamedReferences)

"The article must already have at least one named reference (to avoid a 'change in citation style' in the article per WP:CITEVAR). This means at least one named ref in short format (<ref name=a/>) as a full named ref by itself does not cause any references to display as combined."

find: \<ref\>This item was available on the \[\[\(Picture_Guide\)_(Mobile_Wheel_of_Wow|Community_Codes|Balloon_Darts)_Archive\#(.+?)\]\]\<\/ref\>{1} \<ref\>This item was available on the \[\[\(Picture_Guide\)_(Mobile_Wheel_of_Wow|Community_Codes|Balloon_Darts)_Archive\#(.+?)\]\]\<\/ref\>{2,}
