            Bug ID: 51146
           Summary: Changing parameter in reflist causes display to
                    disappear (although save is proper)
           Product: VisualEditor
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General

From English Wikipedia:

I've not yet done a lot with refs and reflists (a lot of my work is
stub-sorting where it rarely crops up) but.... 

Editing Howard Wilson Elementary School I changed the number of columns of
{{reflist}} from 2 to 1 (there's only one ref and it looks daft over 2 cols).
The whole reflist disappeared, while I stayed in VE - see edit summary. On
saving the page, it was there all present and correct.

This is one of several instances where VE alarms the editor: if it's supposed
to be a Visual Editor, it needs to reflect changes made and not give the
impression that the template has been deleted. Worrying enough for an
experienced editor - totally offputting for someone new.

Apologies if this exact problem, or a more generalised case, is already
tracked. PamD 16:38, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
