JSTOR API disabled
The bot won't complete these templates until the JSTOR API goes live again. Here's a message from their technical services:
The JSTOR API has been taken down for the time being. There are currently no plans for when this interface may be available again. Apologies for any inconvenience caused here.
Meanwhile, the template will continue to link to existing templates.
Not done: please be more specific about what needs to be changed. Sandboxing the desired change would be best, otherwise be much more specific. I see a note that a bot will update the citation, a link to "jump the queue", and a link to "expand by hand" that appears to work correctly already.

The comment about the bot and the link to jump the queue need removed (better yet commented out). The JSTOR API has been removed, so the bot can not longer do the work.

This
edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
The bot is working again that automatically can expand these. Please add back the jump the queue code, noting that the URL has changed: please see {{cite doi}} for correct URL (it is now tools.wmflabs.org/citations/doibot.php?doi= ). It might be easier long-term to just make this even more of a wrapper for {{cite doi}} (ie. make it simply add the 10.2307 in front of the jstor number and pass that to {{cite doi}}.

Attention: This template ({{cite jstor}}) is deprecated. To cite the publication identified by jstor:3793108, please use {{cite journal}} with |jstor=3793108 instead.
That didn't work for me when I ran the current Citation Bot on it. Here's an equivalent Cite doi:
Gottwald, T. R.; Wood, B. W. (1984). "The Effect of Fatty Acids on Growth and Sporulation of the Pecan Scab Fungus Cladosporium caryigenum". Mycologia. 76 (2): 326.
doi:
10.2307/3793108.
JSTOR3793108.
That works now, which is good, but the bot appears to have made the Cite jstor template work by filling in the Cite doi template. Here's another Cite jstor template for the bot to fill in:
Attention: This template ({{cite jstor}}) is deprecated. To cite the publication identified by jstor:3793109, please use {{cite journal}} with |jstor=3793109 instead.
I'm confused about why you took away the "not working" notice and added the edit request above if the bot is not actually completing these Cite jstor citations yet. I would think that posting a note on Citation Bot's talk page would be necessary first, and then waiting for a code change from the bot's operator, but I may be confused (it happens frequently). –

I have updated the sandbox code, and now I think I see how this template is supposed to work. I don't know if it actually does, but it looks like it will. –

Actually, the "right" thing for the bot to have done would be to replace {cite jstor} with {cite journal|jstor=} and fill in the rest of the parameters too. We've just gotten accustomed to it doing the wrong thing so long.

Should we subst Cite journal for all of these and then delete this template?
This template has been causing trouble for years, but people continue to
create new Cite JSTOR templates from working URLs and in other ways. Citation Bot has been blocked for months and, if it is revived by the WMF, may be able to created filled Cite journal templates from JSTOR identifiers. This template is not needed.
Should we substitute the 900 existing instances of this template and then propose it for deletion?
I believe that simple instances of this template can be replaced by substitution, like this:
Note that the JSTOR ID from the existing reference appears in the second line as the digits after the ".2F" in the substitution. I think that this would be a simple task for someone with basic AutoEd or AWB skills. –

No. Links to an unused template don't really count. Only transclusions count, and there are non left that aren't just a discussion of the template. This template is used no where.
