            Bug ID: 45132
           Summary: VisualEditor: When saving a page, check for use of
                    <ref>s but not <references /> tag
           Product: VisualEditor
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

When a user saves a page, VE should check for references (<ref>s) created
without the de-referencing block (<references /> or {{reflist}} or...) and
intervene:

* prompt them to fix before saving (out of the notices area?);
* refuse to save before fixed (grey out the save button?); or
* auto-fix for them (insert a "== References ==\n<references />" section just
above the categories), though this (a) sucks, (b) enforces a particular wiki's
style on other wikis in code, and (c) would be difficult to internationalise
