Yes, good, but {{reflist}} is also progress and needs to be made compatible.

Shirley {{reflist}} should be made options for <references>. Does it do anything other than pretty formatting?
Agree with David, and even without considering the superficial differences, a hard-coded function should take preference over a template hack. The latter doesn't appear to solve the present issue which is editing being obstructed by large in-text citations. Andrew's hack seems to be more than sufficient.
The issue then is that a bot would be relied upon to do the moves - section edits means that adding citations will continue to work in the normal in-text fashion, and even in less common full-page edits we don't necessarily expect people to manually put citations in the references section. So.. a massive wave of site-wide bot-edits followed by a persistent bot?
Be interesting to see if just leaving a site-wide worknote above the titlespace would get most of the job done with user cycles.
