Bug ID: 57459
Summary: VisualEditor: Automatic naming scheme for references
produces meaningless names like <ref name=":0">
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Intention:
Re-use a reference.
Actual Results:
The ref naming scheme needs improvements so that humans can remember which ref
name they want to re-use, especially if they are using the wikitext editor,
where they will not have any of the possible hints that VisualEditor may
provide.
Expected Results:
A system that is "xxx:0", where "xxx" is text simply copied out from the
beginning of the named ref would be an improvement. We can assume that
anything inside the ref is in a language that the editor is capable of coping
with. We can exclude the names of templates and their parameters, as well as
"http" (otherwise, bare URLs in refs will produce a lot of equally unfriendly
<ref name=htt:n> names).
Reproducible: Always
