Change Details

When error checking was first added to cite.php, the message for missing reference list markup was showing up for all pages including user and talk. This was usually because chunks of article content would be copied for discussion and this would often include the references. The decision was to not show these errors on user and talk pages. This was implemented by use of the {{broken ref}} template which was applied to the related MediaWiki interface pages. With the resolution of Bug 66860. when a page has missing reference list markup, it is automatically generated. Now all the talk page references appear at the bottom of the page and there have been complaints that it is distracting. We need the ability to apply namespace detection to the automatically generated reference list. -------------------------- **Version**: unspecified **Severity**: normal
