Description WhatamIdoing 2014-01-23 00:38:46 UTC
Intention:
<References /> automatically updates as you edit a page.  The {{Reflist}} template does not.  Can the handling of the template be improved so that refs inside the {{ref list}} template also update automatically?




Reproducible: Didn't try

Unfortunately, no, we can't.

This is one of the (many) reasons why we discourage people from using {{Reflist}}.
Comment 2 David Gerard 2014-01-27 20:16:12 UTC
This is a confusing response. {{reflist}} is used all over the place, often by preference.

A blank "wontfix" doesn't address the reasons for this statement, and they do in fact need addressing. Are you planning to systematically remove {{reflist}}, for example? Clarification is needed on this point.
