--- Comment #11 from Gadget850 <[email protected]> ---
With the resolution of Bug 66860, a missing reference list is now automatically
added. Before this was deployed, a page with a missing </ref> tag near the end
of a page would eat the <references /> tag; this would trigger the error for a
missing <references /> tag and editors were alerted that there was a problem.
Now, there is no error and the following markup is rendered oddly.

Simple example:

<ref>1

<references />

Since there is no error detection, this is going to be a persistent issue and
will be very difficult for novice editors to sort out. On enwiki, we had
customized the error message so it linked to a help page that noted that the
issue could be due to a missing </ref>.
