In this particular case, note that the reason everything was broken in editing
this page was because the <ref> was defined outside of the table cell, in a the
non-space between the end of the cell and the start of the row, and only
happened to "work" in WT mode because of HTML Tidy moving it to somewhere sane
- Ed's edit to the page fixed the duplication so the desired protection is no
longer needed:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Teenage_Dream_(Katy_Perry_album)&diff=571550633&oldid=571540632

On the wider point, it's not clear if there's an actual long-term need for a
proper VE-prevention system (or if it's all solvable with a few quick fixes of
bad wikitext), but if there is, we should build a proper one, not rely on a
hack that might break.
