The problem here is the "re-use existing reference" code seems to rely on there being a reference list on the page (or there having been one at some point in this edit?) – if there's no reference list yet, it shows the references as blank or with a Lua script error. Is this something as simple as populating the internal list as needed?
This bugs is found in test2 so the reason why it is showing script error for the Cite News,Cite Journal,Cite Book but not Cite Web, the template data for those options are not defined in test2. So if you just add those Cite Options and add a reflist , you will also see script errors in the reference list. However there is one issue here, when you first time add any reference, and open use existing reference dialog, the reference name will not appear but after that if you do any other action like adding a media, or a link or a reflist it appears.

That sounds like bug 67342. Is this valid?
This looks like it's now fixed. (Note that the "re-use" list can take a few seconds to update, so if you've just created a cite it may render as "[4]" rather than "[4] Foo. Bar (Baz)" which will happen later if you wait. Thanks, Krenair!
Issue Resolved in test2.
The delay to load citations in RE-Use dialog is pretty noticeable now.Previously,it was not like that.Is it an effect of this fix?
Probably an effect of whatever caused this?
okay, so there is no need to have a new bug on it I guess.
