I only know for US census the Template change works and all citations are unchanged. The source basically just doesn't show the online source, eg. Heritage Quest, Ancestry or Family Search. The information is still there, just hidden from Sourcewriter. It is reversible, you can go back. Doing a gedcom or using the free Legacy would also bring back the online source I suppose. I don't consider myself a lumper or a splitter. I would call one a lumper if they combine all US counties in one source and a splitter would have a separate source for H.Q., Ancestry and Family Search. I don't want to split so now that I can't get H.Q. I just put Heritage Quest, Ancestry and Family Search into online website which is a bit clunky.
