Summary: Parser bugs with error message: MediaWiki:Cite error
refs without references
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Cite
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
When there is no <references /> tag in a page having
<ref> ... </ref>, we wanted to use the new error message
so as to output the missing data.
1st try: Setting [[MediaWiki:Cite error refs without references]]
to these two lines:
----
<references />
yields:
Fähler in cite met Referenze:----
1↑ uncalled reference
....
Although usually the beginnig of an included template is beginning on a new
line, i.e. the "----" should have rendered a horizontal line.
2nd try: Setting [[MediaWiki:Cite error refs without references]]
to these three lines:
<nowiki />
----
<references />
Result:
Fähler in cite met Referenze: UNIQ48ee0a826943f094-nowiki-00000006-QINU
-------------------------------------------------------------
1↑ uncalled reference
....
There must be something wrong with the stacking of parser steps.
At least the line apears as intended.
3rd try: Setting [[MediaWiki:Cite error refs without references]]
to these three lines:
<!-- -->
----
<references />
Result:
Fähler in cite met Referenze:
-------------------------------------------------------------
1↑ uncalled reference
....
Now, we still get an unwanted, somewhat generic, error message, and the entire
output is red.
Possibly, this might be intentional. The other two rather do not appear to be
correct.
Btw. I suggest, to append
<references />
to the standard error message, so as to not let collected references
slip into the unused bits bucket, even if people do forget to include
them in their pages.
