When there is an opening <references> tag but the corresponding closing </references> tag is missing, all further content is not rendered. Feature request: MediaWiki should display a warning to the user, similar to a missing <references> tag when there are existing <ref> entries. Severity: This happens regularly when users mistakenly attempt to close section with <references/>. I fixed a couple of hundred of these errors on dewiki (1.21wmf12). Example wiki code: Text.<ref name="namedref"/> <references> <ref name="namedref">some reference</ref> <references/> == Ignored content == This section is now ignored. {{Ignored|template}}
Another common type of error is to mistakenly use a single <references> tag instead of <references/>.
Sounds like bug 26145
Yep, sorry for the dup.
