On en.wikipedia.org, the error message I get when I leave out <references/> isn't very helpful. It mentions the page "Help:Cite error", but that isn't a link, and "Help:Cite error" isn't specifically about this problem or especially helpful. I think it would be best if the error message offered directly to stick in the following code: ==References== {{reflist}}
Closed as INVALID. I recommend that you make a request over at [[MediaWiki talk:Cite error refs without references]] on enwiki for this.
That redirects to a generic talk page that isn't about this topic at all. But I guess http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Cite_errors#Links addresses my first complaint, making it sort of a dup of bug 17865.
