           Summary: Better error message for missing </ref> tag
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW

Consider the following wiki text
--------------------------------------------------------------

Sample Text 1<ref>Reference 1</ref>

Sample Text 2<ref>Reference 2
== References ==
<references/>

---------------------------------------------------------------

Even the references tag exists, the error message in en.wikipedia is 

"Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page, but the references will not
show without a {{Reflist}} template or a <references /> tag; see the help
page."

Other wikis (for eg. ml.wikipedia) also share the similar error message. 

Please add, "Or missing </ref> tag" in the message.
