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,}

replace: <ref name="(.+?)"\/>This item was available on the [[(Picture_Guide)_($1$2$3)_(.+?)]]</ref>{1} <ref name="$2"/>{2}
