i hate doing anything manually that i could potentially automate and you probably do too, so here are some instructions to use autowikibrowser on webkinz picture guide.
if you have requests, drop them on my talk page
toot oriole

- options > preferences > site > set project as custom and website page as http://webkinzpictureguide.shoutwiki.com/w/

- middle: toggle settings in any of the four tabs, per the below instructions
- start tab > start button will run awb and present the suggested changes. review in the top pane, and if satisfactory, click save

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}
