the below items are in progress and the notes are for my eyes, use at your own risk
task: create a picture guide page from its item guide page
difference between item and pic: http://webkinzpictureguide.shoutwiki.com/w/index.php?title=User%3AGifted9%2Fautowikibrowser_testing&type=revision&diff=57857&oldid=57856
User:Gifted9/autowikibrowser testing/item to pic
task: replace all duplicate single references with a multireference
User:Gifted9/autowikibrowser testing/singleref to multiref
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}
