            Bug ID: 51260
           Summary: Extend the <references /> tag to mirror enwiki's
                    {{reflist}}
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW

          Priority: Unprioritized

For VisualEditor we are continuously-bitten by <references /> tags that are
embedded within generated content (generally, enwiki's {{reflist}} but some
other wikis have duplicated it.

It would be much easier for everyone if we just moved this widely-demanded
feature into Cite itself as HTML-like attributes on the extension tag, and the
templates were deprecated.

This would involve adding:

* columns (default to 1; a number between 1 and … another number? - not
allowing width, obviously)
* list-style (default to decimal; just an escaped pass-through of the CSS
list-style of the OL)

Then we could just bot-substitute uses of the template, and everyone would be
happy.
