--- Comment #15 from Alex Monk <[email protected]> ---
It's fine, I'm just not convinced this is a good idea with:

* the current state of {{reflist}} (or equivalent) vs. <references />
* the assumption that references will always be at the absolute bottom of the
page (often it's followed by external links, subject navigation templates,
etc.)
* making changes to the document without the user explicitly triggering them

Perhaps it would be okay with some detailed explanation to the user (maybe a
warning beforehand, perhaps with a checkbox they can untick to prevent it or
something, or maybe just a notification dialog of some sort after it's done).
But we it should be clearly thought out and established here how that should be
handled.

Right now, VE does the same thing as the wikitext editor in this respect - i.e.
nothing. Perhaps even just a note on the new reference dialog saying "You'll
need to add a <references />/{{reflist}} otherwise this will error when
saving." could solve the underlying issue here.
