- I'm sure GB knows this, and only gave the above three examples, but a more comprehensive list (not exhaustive) can be found at User:Ohconfucius/test/Sources_subscript3.js, even better list here. -- Ohc ¡digame! 08:31, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
- Wow - that's a ton - thanks! Three more: Liberty, Parent, Q. GoingBatty (talk) 02:01, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, that's only for completeness' sake. You might not want to weigh down your regexes too much. I think that in practice, the operational list can be a lot smaller because the vast majority of these will never be cited. I wonder what criteria we can use to filter the less important... -- Ohc ¡digame! 03:11, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
- Since DPL bot lets users know when they add ambiguous wikilinks such as Mojo or Wired, I'm going to start with a small list of wikilinks that go to articles unrelated to the magazines: Billboard, Blender, Ebony, Empire, Essence, Esquire, Gourmet, Interview, Liberty, Life, Money, Ms., Musician, National Geographic, Parade, Parent, Parents, Parenting, People, Premiere, Q, Scouting, Self, Slate, Smithsonian, Star, Stern, Sunset, Tennis, Time, and Women's Health.
