The German template for quotes: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:Zitat eats refs, or rather their display at the end of the article, if the refs are inserted in it & the article is loaded in VE. Example articles: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arvo_P%C3%A4rt -> ref 5 & 8 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones -> 26, 123-125 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_Corea -> ref 12 Report: https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Technik/Text/Edit/VisualEditor/Beta2013-07&oldid=122231626#Einzelnachweise_am_Artikelende_werden_im_VE_nicht_angezeigt
from the report: * a) {{<ref>source a</ref>}} -> eats ref completely in all other reported cases: * b) {<ref>source b</ref>} * c) {{<ref>source c</ref> * d) {<ref>source d</ref> * e) {{<ref>source a</ref>}. VE tells the user once "This is Wikitext" but then carries on; see test page: https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzerin:Miss-Sophie/Spielwiese&oldid=122231700
Chances are this issue is systemic; three more examples: 1) Info box for movie articles: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:Infobox_Film includes three refs in https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shine_a_Light and they all get eaten if the entry is loaded in VE. 2) Info box for corporate entities: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:Infobox_Unternehmen see the first four refs in https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony 3) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:Infobox_Chemikalie eats the two included refs in: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesiumcarbonat
This looks like a side effect of the underlying problem in bug 50474.
Updates: Rolling Stones: The section Discografie https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones#Diskografie includes another article inserted as template: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones/Disko-_und_Videografie However, the article isn't displayed in full but only relevant parts, picked by onlyinclude-tags. Shine a Light: The issue not included in a template is caused by something VE apparently can't handle in spelling out the ref name but Wikicode can: "_" vs " ": https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shine_a_Light&diff=prev&oldid=122747897 The other two are eaten by the template, i.e. the same source is also referred to in refs outside the template and VE simply doesn't count the template-inserted refs.
Merging this with bug 50474 which I have managed to determine that this is the same as that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 50474 ***
