VisualEditor has a problem with name-refs. It does not edit the origin but replaces the ref-link. In a former post on MediaWiki I thought it's because there was the full reference after the ref-link the in the article I edited. I am not sure if my assumption is correct. I wrote this on [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Uo2w3ldoj3d08xtc#flow-post-uo2w3ldoj7b2h1rk | MediaWiki Talk:VisualEditor ]]: VE does not understand if the ref is linked to another ref later. Example: Line 1: ```<ref name="XYZ" />``` 20 lines later: ```<ref name="XYZ">This is a reference!</ref>``` If I edit line one, VE will not edit the origin. Please see https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=EBuLa&diff=182549901&oldid=179684205 (Line 1) for more information.

//Reference context doesn't show that the reference is reused. It should have something to let users know that it's not a good idea to delete the ref and create a new one in the same place, as that won't update reused references.// ---- VisualEditor has a problem with name-refs.
