Context
- create wikitext:
<ref name="refname" details="page 4">This is a reference</ref>
==References==
{{Reflist}}- switch to Visual Editor
What happens?:
Visual Editor cannot display the reference and displays a warning instead
Implementation
It seems that the MW metadata pointing out the synthetic ref as part of the references section is overwritten / lost we're whenever a template creates the references section. Two options to fix this
- A find a way to add the metadata still
- B find a way to forward the meta data missing
Notes:
The underlying issue also affects the previews in the context menu and when editing details.
