Description

Affected wiki(s):

en.wikipedia.org

Diff(s) (if applicable):

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Carol_Blazejowski&diff=prev&oldid=1114502556&diffmode=source

What is happening?:

The bot alters only one of a duplicated reference definition, causing a visible referencing error that must be cleaned up by a human.

What should happen instead?:

The bot should modify all the defintions, not just one. Or, if the bot can't cope with this condition, it shouldn't cause new errors in existing articles.

List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):
