mediawiki markup showing the problem
I am attempting to build a template that uses <ref> and <references/> from the
Cite extension. There is a known problem for which a workaround is given in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Cite_errors#Templates. This workaround works
on my local mediawiki installation, but does not on the current version of
Wikibooks. The respective pertinent versions are: My MediaWiki version =
1.14.0, Wikibooks MediaWiki version = 1.15alpha (r48811); My Cite extension
version = r44056, Wikibooks Cite extension version = r47190. To reproduce the
problem that appears on wikibooks, you can use the mediawiki markup in the
attached file. The file is divided into two sections. In the first section
(titled Second Sandbox) is wikimarkup using a template defined in the second
section (titled Third Sandbox). You will have to load the markup in the first
section into one sandbox and the markup in the second section into a different
sandbox. Then you will have to change the template call
{{User:Dnessett/Sandboxes/Third Sandbox}} in the second sandbox section to
reference the sandbox holding the third sandbox section markup (obviously, the
titles Second Sandbox and Third Sandbox including the underlining should not go
into either of the test sandboxes). According to the workaround referenced
above, when previewing the second sandbox, there should be no error. As I state
above, there is no error on my local mediawiki wiki. However, the error : "Cite
error: <ref> tags exist, but no <references/> tag was found" appears when I
preview or save the second sandbox on Wikibooks. This is the error that the
workaround supposedly eliminates.
Note the Platform and OS information in this bug report specifies the platform
for my local wiki. The platform and OS of the wikibooks wiki is unknown to me.
My local wiki uses PHP, Apache and MySQL installed using MAMP.
