Summary: removal of principal named reference silently breaks
others
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal

Unwary editors occasionally remove a principal named reference (<ref
name="foo">bar</ref>) in an article where it is still being used elsewhere in
the form <ref name="foo" />, thus silenting breaking references & often leading
to another (or the same :p) editor simply removing all instances of the
reference, presumably under the assumption that the initial inclusion was
improper.
A check — & subsequent warning, if prudent — for remaining references with
a name matching a non-empty reference being removed in the current edit would
likely prevent most such happenings.
