Bug 66860 added a missing reference list for simple references. This functionality was no implemented for references with groups. This should be added to match.
Maybe grouped references should "fall through", so if you have 3 <ref>s and 4 <ref group="foo">s and a simple <references /> (or now, none) you get 7 items in the reference list, maybe split somehow?
(reverting summary change - looks like something got cut off there James :/)
Sorry, name was meant to express the doubt about the way forward. :-)

One way would be to set "MediaWiki:Cite error group refs without references" to <references group=$1 />. But you would have to suppress "MediaWiki:Cite error" and the <strong class="error mw-ext-cite-error">. "MediaWiki:Cite error group refs without references" has been modified on the test wiki.
Tthat's what I was asking about. We need to decide how to mark reference groups when we add them automatically.
Trying again, because doing a quick check before hitting 'Save Changes' is hard: That's basically what will end up happening, but we still need to decide how to mark reference *groups* when we add them automatically. Your comment does not really address that.
