VisualEditor: reference editing bringing you to the wrong citation (template problem?)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Reference editing on, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Nietzsche?veaction=edit, sometimes takes you to the wrong citation. I'm not sure what the problem is. My only current theory, as a luddite, is that the difficulties the VE/Parsoid has with references in templates may be responsible for a numbering screwup somehow between read and edit mode.

bzimport set Reference to bz51058.

The observation: I was trying to make this edit - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Friedrich_Nietzsche&curid=10671&diff=563544089&oldid=562894275 - Opened article in VE, saw the "as as" was in footnote 134 ... couldn't edit there ... went up to reference 134, clicked on it to edit, and it was the wrong reference link. It actually gave me the reference that's numbered 220 (in that version) to edit!

Merging this with bug 50474.
