Thanks for reporting this!

It looks like neither the Cite tool nor citoid are actually enabled on hr wiki, but for some reason typing <ref> opens the citoid dialog. This shouldn't happen.

@edsanders typing <ref> should probably open the basic reference dialog when citoid isn't enabled, correct?

Or maybe the automatic tab should just be removed/disabled?

@lvi104 This is definitely a bug. In the meantime, you can click "manual" then "basic form" to get the basic reference form.

Alternatively, if you want to use the automatic feature you will have to enable citoid on your wiki. Here are the directions for that: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Citoid/Enabling_Citoid_on_your_wiki

Well Cite is installed otherwise you wouldn't have any references. Citoid is also installed, but not configured, so we need to only register the "<ref" -> Citoid sequence if Citoid is actually configured, not if it is just installed.

Change 362230 had a related patch set uploaded (by Esanders; owner: Esanders):
[mediawiki/extensions/Citoid@master] Disable 'auto' tab if type map isn't setup

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/362230

Above patch reduces the dialog to a single tab:

This be resolved in next deploy (Thurs) which will disable the automatic tab if citoid is not configured.

If your community would like the tab to be enabled and is having trouble do it you can also request help as part of this task: T127354
