**Motivation:**
Although the refines functionality cannot be used with VisualEditor yet, it should also not break VisualEditor if a page containing the new notation is opened.
**Task:**
When an article that contains the refines-notation is opened/edited with VisualEditor we need to make sure that:
* VisualEditor can be used without any restrictions
* "refined" references are still shown in the new format
Note: This task is not about implementing support for the "refines" parameter in VisualEditor yet, it is just for making it compatible.
**Background**
The wish to improve the referencing of multiple parts of the same source was part of the German-speaking community's technical wishlist in 2013, 2015 and of the international technical wishlist in 2015. For more info, see T100645.
