See
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Template:Cite_journal
and
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Template:Citation .

The main issue with the former is that it is currently not designed to handle multiple authors other than as a string of text.

This should be decided before or during the Wikimania Hackathon: wpoa/OA-signalling#101 .

I think the former {{Cite journal}} may be ideal for our purposes. The multiple authors problem does not seem like a limitation (if I understand correctly) because the authors field can take an arbitrary comma-separated string of author names, which is just as machine-usable as multiple fields (one for each author). In fact, it's preferable to me.

More importantly, the {{Cite journal}} template already handles both pmcid and pmid, plus it doesn't overlap with the other citations on wikisource that use {{Citation}}, so we can bend and tweak it with less damage and more intention.
{{cite journal |author=Viollet B, Andreelli F, Jørgensen SB, ''et al'' |title=The AMP-activated protein kinase alpha2 catalytic subunit controls whole-body insulin sensitivity |journal=J. Clin. Invest. |volume=111 |issue=1 |pages=91–8 |year=2003 |month=January |pmid=12511592 |pmc=151837 |doi=10.1172/JCI16567 |url=http://www.jci.org/articles/view/16567 }}
renders as:

→ Viollet B, Andreelli F, Jørgensen SB, et al (January 2003). "The AMP-activated protein kinase alpha2 catalytic subunit controls whole-body insulin sensitivity". J. Clin. Invest. 111 (1): 91–8. doi:10.1172/JCI16567. PMID 12511592. PMC:151837.

We are working on changing things to use a custom citation-wpoa template, that will invoke citation/core. See issue #40.
