Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start with a page that contains:

(a) a template with a named ref inside it: {{quote|Text.<ref name=Foo>Example citation</ref>}}

(b) Some text outside the template that re-uses that citation: Text.<ref name=Foo />

2. Open the page in VisualEditor and remove the template.

Actual Results:
The named ref becomes undefined. VisualEditor doesn't "see" the citation inside the template, so it can't rescue the re-used template-based citation content when the template is deleted.

Expected Results:
That the citation content would be preserved, just like it is preseved when the first instance of a re-used citation in regular page text (outside of templates) is removed.

Reproducible: Always
