Intention: Edit a page containing a gallery. The gallery contains <ref> citations. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the page in VisualEditor. 2. Notice the big red errors inside each gallery that contains a <ref> citation. Actual Results: Big red errors are present at the bottom of each gallery that contains a <ref> citation. Depending on whether the ref is part of a group, these are the two errors I saw: There are <ref group=$1> tags on this page, but the references will not show without a {{reflist|group=$1}} template (see the help page). There are <ref> tags on this page, but the references will not show without a {{reflist}} template (see the help page). Expected Results: That VisualEditor would not produce an error. (There were proper {{reflist}} templates at the bottom of the page.) Reproducible: Always
If you change a caption in the gallery so that it contains a {{reflist}}, then VisualEditor displays the citations within the gallery (under the green can't-edit-this hash), and this error is not present.
Also, as seen by editing https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=596381198 you cannot re-use any references that are within a gallery block.
I don't think this is valid any more, is it?
This has been fixed, sort of: Instead of a big red error, it now puts a references block at the end of the gallery (re-starting the numbering, and including only refs from the gallery).
