The most recent deployment of sub-refs on svwiki surfaced a rendering issue. This was reported and solved in T418280: Main references are displayed incorrectly on svwiki (if they're not used in the article).
Before the next rollout phase, we will want to investigate and potentially fix rendering and other incompatible issues resulting from special wiki configurations.

I think it's worth investing a bit of time into one of the possible technical solutions I listed in T418280#11647939. I especially like #2 (i.e. hard-code the HTML for the special case of an unused main ref, without using the problematic message). I would love to experiment with that a bit before the big rollout.

Sharing an idea here, that we enable sub-referencing in just the User namespace to help find issues before full deployment.

Change #1247440 abandoned by Thiemo Kreuz (WMDE):
[mediawiki/extensions/Cite@master] Remove empty backlink <span> from Parsoid output
Reason:
Not possible as long as the rendering of the ↑ depends on this <span>.
