Tue, Mar 24
Lina_Farid_WMDE removed a project from T418324: Copying subreferences between articles doesn't work: WMDE-TechWish (product board).
Lina_Farid_WMDE moved T421058: Get data to understand prevalance of T412007 from Incoming to Backlog on the WMDE-TechWish (product board) board.
Lina_Farid_WMDE moved T404736: Using templates defined in MediaWiki:Cite-tool-definition.json within a sub-reference opens the template dialog right away from Incoming to Later on the Cite (Sub-referencing) board.
Bug triage:
- limited amount of sub-refs use tempaltes at the momen. Therefore, low prio for now.
Lina_Farid_WMDE moved T414198: Fix inconsistent multi-column behavior for sub-refs from Incoming to Later on the Cite (Sub-referencing) board.
Not a bug but rather bad design :)
Lina_Farid_WMDE moved T415207: VisualEditor shouldn't change in sub-reference details from Incoming to Later on the Cite (Sub-referencing) board.
Lina_Farid_WMDE moved T418324: Copying subreferences between articles doesn't work from Incoming to Later on the Cite (Sub-referencing) board.
Bug triage:
- cross article copy pasting sub-refs is missing certain metadata in the clipboard.
- Has no connection to synthetic refs.
Lina_Farid_WMDE moved T418509: Pasting subreferences to articles without the reference tag doesn't work (copy and paste from external source or article) from Incoming to Later on the Cite (Sub-referencing) board.
Bug triage:
- issue is relevant for articles that do not have a reference list. These might be articles that are being created.
- Currently this is a known limitation and the recommendation is to add a reference list to articles that use sub-references (<referenes />) .
Lina_Farid_WMDE renamed T418509: Pasting subreferences to articles without the reference tag doesn't work (copy and paste from external source or article) from Pasting subreferences to articles without the reference tag doesn't work (copy and past from external source or article) to Pasting subreferences to articles without the reference tag doesn't work (copy and paste from external source or article).
Lina_Farid_WMDE renamed T418509: Pasting subreferences to articles without the reference tag doesn't work (copy and paste from external source or article) from Pasting subreferences to articles without the reference tag doesn't work to Pasting subreferences to articles without the reference tag doesn't work (copy and past from external source or article).
Lina_Farid_WMDE moved T419035: VE tries to copy content to a sub-ref if the main ref is defined within a template – but delivers broken wikitext if the main ref uses a template from Incoming to Later on the Cite (Sub-referencing) board.
Bug triage: see parent bug
Lina_Farid_WMDE moved T403379: VisualEditor automatically writes out self enclosed <references /> tags (unintended diff) from Later to NEXT on the Cite (Sub-referencing) board.
Bug triage:
- Assumption might be resolved with the synthetic refs approach
Lina_Farid_WMDE moved T411473: VE allows new lines in sub-ref details while editing from Incoming to Later on the Cite (Sub-referencing) board.
Bug triage:
- We will wait until we hear from users about this use case.
Lina_Farid_WMDE moved T406115: Disallow reusing/sub-referencing <ref follow> in VE from Incoming to Later on the Cite (Sub-referencing) board.
Bug Triage:
- relevant for Wikisource only. We have not deployed there yet.
Lina_Farid_WMDE moved T404046: White space in add details dialog in VE from NEXT to Later on the Cite (Sub-referencing) board.
Lina_Farid_WMDE added a comment to T411466: When edit sub-reference details, the "replace citation" button doesn't replace the entire citation using the automatic / manual tab.
Bug triage:
- Technically clear to solve.
Lina_Farid_WMDE moved T412007: VE unexpectedly copies reference content from one sub-ref to another if the main ref is defined within a template from NEXT to Later on the Cite (Sub-referencing) board.
Bug triage:
- Workaround is to remove the main reference from the template and add it somewhere else in-line.
- Data will give us a snapshot of how many references are defined within a template, like the infobox, and reused outside of the template, in the article.
- Assumption is that synth ref epic can fix the issue.
- Bigger issue due to VE unable to work with some templates.
Lina_Farid_WMDE moved T417255: Issues with Sub-refs in content translation tool from NEXT to Later on the Cite (Sub-referencing) board.
Bug triage:
- Issues are lower priority than originally thought. Moving to "later" column.
Lina_Farid_WMDE added a subtask for T406869: [Epic] VisualEditor must stop relying on synthetic LDRs to access main content: T403573: Synthetic list defined refs can be orphaned.

Lina_Farid_WMDE added a comment to T404297: Adding main+details references to an empty article leads to content loss.
Bug triage:
- part of synthetic ref cleanup. We will review once the milestone with deleting a reference list is met.

The affected charts as described above have been documented and deleted along with the queries on February 27th. The most important charts have been moved to

Hi @BTullis, If the queries happen to still be running in the background please feel free to kill them all.
We won't run them again until we've at least done what @mpopov has explained above. See also https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T418511
