I thought it was a rather informative error. Suggestions welcome on exact
wording though. To be honest: it doesn't really matter what enwiki does with
the message. Do other communities like it? If the general agreement is in
favor, I fail to see how one wiki's actions should cause so much backpedaling.

Eww eww eww. <references /> is almost never at the bottom, and this will just
encourage lazy editing/formatting of pages. I would hope the wiki never outputs
markup you didn't add, only warn you when something's wrong.

On semi-related note: if there's issues with how Cite outputs errors, that's
for a different bug. Not within the scope of this one.
