Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

ContentTranslation created a reference that renders as UNIQ--nowiki-00000007-QINU at [[Google Cardboard]] in he.wikipedia.

See https://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D7%92%D7%95%D7%92%D7%9C_%D7%A7%D7%90%D7%A8%D7%93%D7%91%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%93&action=edit&oldid=17292153

This might be a Cite bug, but if CX could avoid it somehow, it would be nice.

I think I see why this could happen. Possibly because the ref was inside a link (in RTL it's very non-obvious on the first look).

I cannot reproduce it on a cleaner page, however, so there must be something else in play. I'd love to debug this with somebody who knows Cite (and Parsoid?).

And another one: https://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=17527714

In all of the examples above the <ref> tag crept inside the [[]] link. We should prevent it even if we don't resolve the QINU problem completely.

Amire80 renamed this task from ContentTranslation created a reference that renders as UNIQ--nowiki-00000007-QINU at [[Google Cardboard]] in he.wikipedia to ContentTranslation creates references that render themselves as UNIQ--nowiki-00000007-QINU.Sep 29 2015, 8:25 AM

The underlying issue is probably T27417, though it could possibly be worked around on the CX side (or maybe in Parsoid).

Amire80 claimed this task.

I'm not sure how, but this seems to be fixed. In the last few months I saw many articles with references messed up in other ways, but not with QINU.

I'll reopen if I'll see this again.
