--- Comment #1 from Roan Kattouw <roan.katt...@gmail.com> --- Isolated test case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ed_g2s/Sandbox4 Diagnosis: The automatically generated names are based on the number of distinct references in the page up to that point, indexed at zero. The first unnamed <ref> tag is the 4th distinct reference on the page (it's preceded by two :1s, a :3 and a :0), so its autogenerated name is :3. However, there so happens to already be a literal <ref name=":3"> on the page, so we get a naming collision and the whole thing goes to hell. In practice, this situation can only arise after multiple iterations of duplicating unnamed references with VE (which adds <ref name=":n"> tags to the source), then removing or reordering references so the ref tags are aligned exactly right for this bug to occur. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
