Description: When an article has many references, they won't wrap at the end of the line. Origine: the reference numbers are separated by a non-breaking space & #160 ; (U+A0). Fix: the reference numbers should be separated by a normal space (U+20).
The separator is set by using messages in the i18n file: 'cite_references_link_many_sep' => "\xc2\xa0", 'cite_references_link_many_and' => "\xc2\xa0", Maybe they can just be removed, I am not sure if anyone would ever need to customize them.
On enwiki, the messages have already been customized to a breaking space as a workaround for this bug: [[:w:en:MediaWiki:Cite references link many and]]. Nobody seems to have complained yet, so changing the messages to be breaking spaces ( ) should fix the problem.
Fixed in r19790.
