From bug 54906 comment 16: > Why not treat references like the TOC and always have MediaWiki output > them at the bottom of the page (or section when in preview mode in > wikitext) unless a <references/> tag is present? This would treat newbies slightly better with a first-approximation of a non-failure state, which means fewer nasty errors. -------------------------- **Version**: master **Severity**: enhancement **See Also**: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54906 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16854 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30763 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72858
