           Summary: When using "group=" with a ref the space can cause line-

Hi,

I recently added a " <ref>" tag in a wikipedia article using the "group="
attribute. After saving the page my browser (Firefox) showed the group name at
the end of a line and the number at the beginning of the next line!

Looking at the code I think the bug is located in file "Cite_body.php" in
function "linkRef" where line 570 looks like 

    ($group == CITEDEFAULT_GROUP)?'':"$group ").$wgCont....

The space that is added to the group name is a whitespace character in HTML so
line-breaking can happen there.

Maybe using a non-breaking space like U+00A0 or U+202F or maybe no space at all
would be more appropriate?

Thanks!
