I'm not sure I understand the issue. When I'm specifically editing the sub-ref, why shouldn't the replace button replace the sub-ref? As far as I'm concerned it works entirely as expected at the moment.

cool, thanks! I'll do that then for the next ten years ;) solves my problem of having to worry about the VE users. I'll just do it for pages I personally touch for now, but it would be great if someone better at this would establish more of a standard on enwiki, eg. using this as a replacement for {{reflist}}.

@Novem_Linguae I believe this feature leads to unexpected redirect notifications due to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MassMessage#Configuration_parameters -> $wgNamespacesToConvert = [ NS_USER => NS_USER_TALK ];
Many mass message lists just include the user name instead of directly linking to the user talk page.

Johannes_Richter_WMDE added a comment to T403693: Implement tooltips onboarding for subreferencs.

As mentioned in our team meeting: We should change the onboarding tooltip link to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Sub-referencing (instead of linking to the VE section of the page) because people reading the tooltip likely want to learn more about the feature in general (as opposed to the link in T403694 where people likely want to learn more about VE usage).

Johannes_Richter_WMDE added a comment to T396860: Request automatic reference feature in Indonesian Wikiquote.

@Badak_Jawa you need to follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Citoid/Enabling_Citoid_on_your_wiki which requires setting up the https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Citation_tool.
It seems your project already has https://id.wikiquote.org/wiki/Templat:Cite_book and https://id.wikiquote.org/wiki/Templat:Cite_web, I recommend updating them with the latest version from English Wikipedia + the relevant documentation including template data. If you don't know how to do that, you could just export everything you need from English Wikipedia und import the content to Indonesian Wikiquote.
Once you've set up both templates correctly, you need to create MediaWiki:Cite-tool-definition.json and MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json (e.g. like this: https://mos.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Cite-tool-definition.json / https://mos.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json). Creating those pages will enable the automatic reference feature.

I know this a bug, but as a user sending a mass message, it's also a feature: My mass messages usually direct users to leave replies / feedback on a linked project/talk page, but some users nevertheless just reply below the mass message. If I want to monitor all of my mass messages to make sure I don't miss any of those direct replies, I just need to subscribe to one of the messages in order to be subscribed to all of them.
