--- Comment #11 from James Forrester <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Gadget850 from comment #9) > There are a few issues with the automatic addition of the reference list: > * Follow-on editors are going to be confused since the markup is missing I'm sure they will learn soon enough. This is how the __TOC__ flag works, and intentionally mirrors it. > * There is no heading The desired heading, level and other context varies per wiki, so the software can't know what to put in unless we do some horrible hack. > * The reference list will often show in the wrong place This is also a matter of wikis' individual tastes, but yes, for some wikis the absolute bottom of the page is not how they currently want these to show up. > I propose that 'MediaWiki:Cite error refs without references' still be > triggered. The default message would not show an error but would put the > page into a hidden maintenance category. Interesting idea. Given the vast change in semantics, presumably this should be a new message (and the old one deleted)? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
