Change Details

**List of steps to reproduce** (step by step, including full links if applicable): * Using visual editor, insert a citation by using "Cite / Re-use"...but also edit the original reference by adding more page numbers, for example **What happens?**: * After you submit your edit, you get a big red error message in the References section for that source that looks something like this (although usually it has a slightly different message) {F34930489} * In some cases, References have been completely overwritten by other References (and disappeared / incorrectly consolidated with the wrong source after triggering errors) * In some cases, two versions of the same Reference seem to exist for a while...one with the page number change, one without the page number change...in other cases, the newly edited Reference causes the other to be overwritten/blanked but NOT updated correctly, if that makes sense * A big clue that something is wrong is when you mouse over the footnote number and all you see is a "blank" even though you KNOW it used to be a valid citation – later it turns out that sometimes it really is broken and sometimes it's not (at least temporarily) {F34930494} **What should have happened instead?**: * I used to be able to add in page numbers for re-used references, no problem, using Visual Editor...it didn't matter how "old" the reference was. * Now I have had to go back and delete all the broken references and re-add them again "fresh" **Software version (if not a Wikimedia wiki), browser information, screenshots, other information, etc.**: * Here are a bunch of pages where I have recently encountered problems and found myself trying to go back and do manual workarounds... If you look in the History of these pages, you will see how I encountered these issues over and over again (tried to flag it in my Comments for each edit)...I'm sorry I didn't submit this bug sooner but what is strange is that on some pages, I haven't encountered this problem at all...
