I'm not sure what is the best solution here: Mixed RTL and LTR lists doesn't
look well, but English reference shown as RTL looks bad too.
In Hebrew Wikipedia I created a hack for setting the directionality using some
CSS and overriding the reference name:
in common.css I added the following CSS
li[id|="cite_note-hebrewRTL"] {
direction:rtl;
}
li[id|="cite_note-LTR"] {
direction:ltr;
margin-left:3.2em;
}
and users can exlicity set the direction by giving name to ref with the correct
prefix:
<ref name="LTR-source">LTR reference</ref>
<ref name="hebrewRTL-source">RTL reference (which used when most of the
references are LTR and the <references/> it wrapped by dir="ltr")</ref>
An example to it:
http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%A4%D7%A8%D7%A0%D7%A1%D7%95%D7%90%D7%94_%D7%94%D7%95%D7%9C%D7%A0%D7%93#.D7.94.D7.A2.D7.A8.D7.95.D7.AA_.D7.A9.D7.95.D7.9C.D7.99.D7.99.D7.9D
However, this hack uses CSS rules that are not supported by old browsers, and
it isn't user friendly.
Another [wrong] solution is to use the new dir="auto": the message
MediaWiki:Cite_references_link_one could just declare dir="auto" for the li -
this currently works only in Chrome. it doesn't requires the user to declare
the direction of each reference, but sometimes users may want to explicitly
define the direction (example: <ref>Google הוא מנוע חיפוש</ref>).
