On de.WP, a user tried to replace an outdated link within an existing ref via VE and ran into a nowiki. diff: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kin-dsa-dsa%21&diff=121506430&oldid=117367043 report: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Technik/Text/Edit/VisualEditor/Beta2013-07&oldid=121759646#nowiki_bei_unbeschriftetem_Link I could reproduce that; the previous is showing it prior to saving, too.
Confirmed Steps to reproduce: 1. https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kin-dsa-dsa!&oldid=117367043&veaction=edit 2. open the ref dialog for the last ref in the first paragraph of section 'Video' 3. open link dialog for the first external link 4. replace http://kinocenter.rsuh.ru/Dan2.htm with http://wayback.archive.org/web/20080603185657/http://kinocenter.rsuh.ru/Dan2.htm Expected results: Only the URL changes Actual results: <nowiki>[1]</nowiki> is inserted Reproduced on a much smaller test case here: https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer:John_Vandenberg/test&diff=123052743&oldid=123052686
I cannot reproduce this with the current version of the article, which has similar content. When trying to edit the old version of the article I get a strange result: I don't see the external links in the reference editor at all.

I can confirm that I could previously reproduce and this is now fixed; not quite sure where or when. > When trying to edit the old version of the article I get a strange result: I > don't see the external links in the reference editor at all. Yeah; that's very odd. Have filed bug 71652.
