I could be wrong here, but wasn't Cite recently changed to allow for putting <ref>s inside <references>? If so, I think we could start encouraging people to put all of their refs down in the <references> block and just using <ref name="something"/> inline. /That/ would be a vast improvement, if nothing else. -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
