Bug ID: 65301
Summary: VisualEditor: If a reference is defined in a
template, and re-used outside of it, and you delete
the template, then the reference contents get lost
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Editing Tools
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Web browser: ---
Mobile Platform: ---
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with a page that contains:
(a) a template with a named ref inside it: {{quote|Text.<ref name=Foo>Example
citation</ref>}}
(b) Some text outside the template that re-uses that citation: Text.<ref
name=Foo />
2. Open the page in VisualEditor and remove the template.
Actual Results:
The named ref becomes undefined. VisualEditor doesn't "see" the citation
inside the template, so it can't rescue the re-used template-based citation
content when the template is deleted.
Expected Results:
That the citation content would be preserved, just like it is preseved when the
first instance of a re-used citation in regular page text (outside of
templates) is removed.
Reproducible: Always
