When a page has a non-closed <references> the rest of that page is not visible (except categories and interwikis) incorrect version: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=81022314 correct version: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=81976459 You see that the correct version has a box "Normdaten" at the end of the page after the references. Please add a message in this case, so the editor get a information about his mistake and can correct hat. Thanks.

Hi to solve this problem, there should be a preg to determine whether references is closed much like the checking if someone left off the closing </ref> tag in Cite/Cite_body.php line no 243 since am new to mediawiki. couldnt write a patch myself :( hopefully i can solve this in near future :)
This might be a more general issue with the parser and getting warnings from it.
Brad, do you think this bug is still valid? If so, would it be suitable for a new developer ("easy")?
Valid, yes. Easy, not really.

But it's unlikely to be the case that the article would contain a second <references> to be found inside the first in the same way.
