If you lick on the numbered link created by the <ref> tag, you are taken to the appropriate reference. If the article is smaller than the screen height, ie there is no vertical scrolling, it if difficult to see which reference you were looking for. It is very easy to highlight the appropriate reference using the css :target selector. (Unfortunaly this is only supported by Gecko and Webkit browsers.) The css we would need to add would look something like this: :target { font-weight:bold; }
JavaScript fallback would be good too for older browsers.
This requires some way of having Cite add CSS . . . note that Monobook's main.css currently just contains a rule for Cite in core. Not sure we want to add more of those (or keep the existing one). Is there some way for extensions to stick stuff in the autogenerated CSS without adding a whole new file?
This now exist, tested and work for Gecko (Firefox), WebKit (Safari), and Presto (Opear) based browser. Nope, doesn't work for Trident (IE).
It's a CSS change specific to the English Wikipedia. enwiki-specific changes have no bearing on Mediazilla bugs, which deal with the software as we ship it. Please test on a clean installation of MediaWiki next time, or at least on obscure wikis. Reopening.
Most (in fact: all wikis I tested) wikis have something like ol.references > li:target, sup.reference:target { background: #def; } in their Common.css now, so it seems reasonable to include this directly with the extension.

Now with RessourceLoader this is no longer any problem, in fact, a modules/ext.cite.css file already exists.
