Description Thorsteinn A. Malmjursson 2008-08-27 17:57:01 UTC
When using the <ref></ref> button on the extended part of the edit toolbar, it only produces the references themselves, it does not add {{Reflist}} to the end of the page, so the references you add do not appear as footnotes.  

The required bits to make this work are in the Common.js, but its protected and i am unable therefore to edit it.

Could it be amended to add {{Reflist}} to the bottom of the article before categories  so that the references appear. 

Thanks

Bugzilla is only used for requesting action be taken by developers or system administrators.  As I told you on IRC, this is not a software issue, it's a local configuration issue.  The proper place for asking for changes to Common.js on the English Wikipedia is probably [[MediaWiki talk:Common.js]], or maybe [[WP:VPR]] or [[WP:VPT]].
Comment 2 Thorsteinn A. Malmjursson 2008-08-28 00:56:54 UTC
I was informed later on, due to the fact i told you about the wrong thing, that it was advisable to place it here as a Feature request.  This information was given to me by user Bryan in the IRC channel, Simetrical. Take it up with him, since he told me to post it here!
