I don't know much about visual editor or references-related code, someone else may be able to help you here better, but I know that is implemented on enwiki: https://phab.wmfusercontent.org/file/data/wz3njgh6k6iwrugvap6f/PHID-FILE-n6… https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:JCrespo_(WMF)/sandbox&t… So my only suggestion is to look at how enwiki has it configured and try to adapt it to your needs. Another suggestion is to use Phaste: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/paste/edit/form/14/ for code snippets, as it will prevent vandals from editing it + allow comments.

{{Cite web}} and similar templates can also be used outside of a <ref> tag, e.g. on a page like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Review_aggregator#Bibliography (not the greatest example, but the best I could find quickly). If you want it inside of a footnote, it's a bit complicated in visual mode, since the footnotes can be reused multiple times. The way it works is that there is a separate place in the document where the contents of every reference are placed (the "internal list"), and the location of the <ref> contains only a small node that links to the internal list. Manually constructing the data so that both these things refer to each other would be a pain, but there is a helper class that makes it more convenient, ve.dm.MWReferenceModel. You'd use it like this: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P10018 I adapted that example from the code in ve.ui.MWCitationDialog.prototype.getActionProcess, which is how VE itself inserts new references. Hope that helps (and doesn't look too awful). -- Bartosz Dziewoński _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Thanks very much Bartosz, I tried it on my VE sandbox page on en.Wikipedia and it works really cool. However, I get the following error on my local MW install *jQuery.Deferred exception: ve.dm.MWReferenceModel is not a constructor TypeError: ve.dm.MWReferenceModel is not a constructor* I should be lacking a module or something. Please can you help with this? Thanks once more, -- Eugene On Sat, Jan 4, 2020 at 10:10 AM Bartosz Dziewoński &lt;matma.rex(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Thanks very much Bartosz, it works just fine with Cite. Just a follow up question. *Is Cite responsible for rendering <references />* *?*
