Badly introduced inlined references aren't detected and they don't produce a warning of any kind, which can be embarassing on large articles with lots of references, Wikipedia being a prime example. Consider the following piece of wikitext: ``` This is my bold claim.ref>Some proof of my claim</ref> <references/> ``` Unlike a malformed named ref, which would trigger a very visible warning, nothing is reported in this case and the problem may very well go unnoticed in a very large article with tons of references. Plese consider adding some check for a </ref> without a preceding <ref> to avoid this problem. T123236 may be related to this problem.
