Bug ID: 62691
Summary: Flow: Parsoid ref handling broken by <base href> tag
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Flow

In a Flow post, add the wikitext:
Test<ref>Reference</ref>
<references>
Parsoid generates a reference counter and a references section with <a
href="#cite_note-1"> links between them. Wahoo!
But Flow's includes/View.php outputs a
<base href="/wiki/Talk:Name_of_Flow_board">
tag. That turns the local href into a full URL to the Flow board. So if you
view a single topic at its Permalink, then clicking the [1] or ↑ forces a page
reload (unfortunate) and if the post is old and not part of the first 10 topics
on the board, the fragment won't be on the page at all (bad).
The comment in View.php before outputting a base href tag is "Temporary hack to
make relative links work when the page is requested as /w/index.php?title=".
But nowadays links to pages and to images are no longer relative links, they
are absolute paths like href="/wiki/Main_Page" and
src="//ee-flow.wmflabs.org/w/images/7/77/Cucurbita_moschata_Butternut_2012_G2.jpg".
So maybe the base href is no longer required?
