This is just a minor optimization. The keys should now all follow
the schema for Reference Previews in this extension.
I'm not touching the `popups-prefs-conflicting-gadgets-info` key.
That one was not copied over to this codebase and IMO we could
really remove it for the reasons in that comment.
Bug: T355194

Behavior change: previously, an error would be rendered once the
custom markers run out. After this patch there is a graceful fallback
to default group rendering (eg. "lower-greek 1000").
This is a slight improvement, but is user-facing so should be
discussed before merging.
In future work we'll render custom marks programmatically so this edge
case would be unreachable, and since the error message only exists to
nudge editors to extend the custom group symbol sequence, this would
also become wasted effort.
This patch splits out a lower-level method which produces the bare
mark label, with no link or wikitext formatting. The patch narrows
and simplifies the interface so that the method can be made available
to Parsoid, and will be converted to a service in a separate patch.

This seems to play well with Popups with and without
Ie8fa1672b9fd . However, it's not clear to me why this still works
and even gives priority to the Popups implementation when present,
regardless of the order the extensions are loaded in. Happily, this
is the desired behavior.
Bug: T363162
Change-Id: Ic479c0a381ee16d1abcecfdd5ee48f0afccc1d3f
The message cite_references_link_many_format_backlink_labels contains
e.g. "a b c …" and so on, to be used as alternative backlink labels
when a single reference is re-used multiple times. The default numeric
rendering is "1.1 1.2 …" and so on.
The two labels end in the message cite_references_link_many_format as
parameters $2 and $3. But only one of the two parameters is ever used.
By default the alternative label in $3 is unused.
This implies that everything about these alternative backlink labels
including the error message is effectively dead code most of the time,
never to be seen on the majority of wikis.
This change makes it possible to disable the message without breaking
anything. Instead the code will silently fallback to the default
behavior of showing the numeric label. This is much more efficient
than rendering possibly hundreds of error messages that never show
up anyhere. The same optimization is already done for the extremely
similar cite_link_label_group-… messages, see
FootnoteMarkFormatter::fetchCustomizedLinkLabel.
This is also partly motivated by T335129 as well as T321217.

Bug: T361088
Change-Id: Ide15286527227f61a48386384b96ac965c5dec42
The message was part of the original patch that introduced the group
feature in 2009, see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rECIT75004e33.
Notice how there was never a test scenario for this message. A test
was added in 2020 via I07738cc.
The message appears only in a rare edge-case when a group is entirely
unused in the text, and only when the group is not empty. The shortest
possible example is:
<references group=g>
<ref group=g name=a>a</ref>
</references>
Just adding something unrelated like `<ref group=g>x</ref>` to the
text changes the error message. Now the group is "used". But this
notion is confusing to begin with. References can be part of a group,
and we can use references, but we can't use groups as if they are a
separate entity.
A better error message already exists.
Notice how this special error message doesn't appear anywhere in the
Parsoid code path. That was already using the other, more generic
error message.

Same as Icfa8215 where we removed the …_suffix messages.
This patch is not blocked on anything according to CodeSearch:
https://codesearch.wmcloud.org/search/?q=cite_references%3F_link_prefix
According to GlobalSearch there are 2 usages we need to talk about:
https://global-search.toolforge.org/?q=.®ex=1&namespaces=8&title=Cite.references%3F.link.prefix.*
zh.wiktionary replaces "cite_ref-" with "_ref-", and "cite_note-"
with "_note-", i.e. they did nothing but remove the word "cite". This
happened in 2006, with no explanation.
ka.wikibooks and ka.wikiquote replace "cite_note-" with "_შენიშვნა-",
which translates back to "_note-". One user did this in 2007,
16 seconds apart.
It appears like both are attempts to localize what can be localized,
no matter if it's really necessary or not.
https://zh.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Shibo77?offset=20060510https://ka.wikiquote.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Trulala?offset=20070219
Note how one user experimented with an "a" in some of the edits to
see what effect the change might have, to imediatelly revert it.
The modifications don't really have an effect on anything, except on
the anchors in the resulting <a href="#_ref-5"> and <sup id="_ref-5">
HTML. It might also be briefly visible in the browser's address bar
when such a link is clicked. We can only assume the two users did this
to make the URL appear shorter (?). A discussion apparently never
happened. Bot users are inactive.
Both pieces of HTML are generated in the Cite code. Removing the
messages will change all places the same time. All links will
continue to work. The only possible effect is that hard-coded
weblinks to an individual reference will link to the top of the
article instead. But:
a) This is extremely unlikely to happen. There is no reason to link
to a reference from outside of the article.
b) Such links are not guaranteed to work anyway as they can break
for a multitude of other reasons, e.g. the <ref> being renamed,
removed, or replaced.
c) Even if such a link breaks, it still links to the correct article.
There is also no on-wiki code on zh.wiktionary that would do anything
with the shortened prefix:
https://zh.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?search=insource%3A%2F_%28ref%7Cnote%29-%2F&title=Special%3A%E6%90%9C%E7%B4%A2&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns2=1&ns4=1&ns8=1&ns10=1&ns12=1&ns828=1&ns2300=1
I argue this is safe to remove, even without contacting the mentioned
communities first.

This classifies as a "warning" because we still show everything,

This reverts a very tiny part of Ib3fdc89 from 2 weeks ago. The
reasons are explained in Ib3fdc89. Short version:
* The ->parse() calls have drastic performance implications.
* Allowing wikitext and HTML in this message also makes T321217
worse.
The new message "cite_reference_backlink_symbol" is kept and still
used in the UI. Just not in these two messages any more. This is a
minor redundancy we want to get rid of at some point. But it's not
critical for the moment. This will be done as part of T321217.
Nothing will break on the wikis. Some wikis have customizations for
"cite_references_link_one" and "cite_references_link_many" in place.
This will continue to work as before Ib3fdc89.

Perform the validation in validateRef, and display a new error message for
broken "follow" refs. This changes existing behavior, where broken folow
ref content is arbitrarily displayed at the top of the references list and
no error is rendered.

This resolves another TODO. Since this is an intentional limitation in
the design of the feature, I find it pretty signigicant to give it it's

This changes the a11y support on the main backlinks by introducing the usage
of title and aria-labels. The support for these elements increased a lot since

This change does have two consequences:
1. A few more whitespace characters act as separators. This should not
have any consequence in real life situations, and is mainly done to
make the code easier to read and less surprising.
2. Sequences of two or more whitespace characters previously resulted
in partly *empty* results. This was a potential source of errors. The
additional + fixes this.

This is based on the popular 'count' parameter from Template:Reflist on
English Wikipedia, which has also been adopted by many other wikis.
That template's 'count' parameter allows maximum flexibility on a per-
page basis. This was important because the template can't know how many
references the list will contain. Users typically manually add (and
later, increment) the 'count' parameter when the list exceeds a certain
threshold.
The template currently sets an exact column count (via the CSS3
property `column-count`).
This patch improves on that by instead using the closely related CSS3
`column-width` property. This automatically derives the column count
based on the available space in the browser window. It will thus create
two or three columns on a typical desktop screen, and two or no columns
on a mobile device.
The specified width is the minimum width of a column. This ensures that
the list is not split when rendered on a narrow screen or mobile device.
It also hooks into the raw list before parsing and adds the class only
when the list will contain more than a certain number of items. This
prevents very short lists from being split into multiple columns.
Templates like Template:Reflist on English Wikipedia currently are not
able to set inline styles on the list element directly, which is why
they set it on a `<div>` wrapping the `<references />` output. Because
of this, the feature of the Cite extension must not be enabled at the
same time, as that would result in both the template's wrapper and the
references list being split. The end result would involve sitations with
three columns split in four sub-columns, creating a complicated mess of
nine intermixed columns.
To provide a smooth migration for wikis, this feature can be disabled by
default using `$wgCiteResponsiveReferences = false`. Each individual
template createing reference list can then be migrated, by removing the
wrapper column styles and instead settting the new "responsive"
attribute, like so: `<references responsive />`.
Once any conflicting templates have been migrated, the default for the
wiki can be swapped by setting `$wgCiteResponsiveReferences = true`.
If wikis wish for some templates to keep their custom column splitting
behaviour, templates can also opt-out by setting `responsive="0"`, which
will make sure that it will keep behaving the current way even after the
feature becomes enabled by default for the wiki.
In summary, when disabled by default, pages can opt into this system
with `<references responsive />`. When enabled by default, pages can opt
out of the system with `<references responsive=0 />`.
* Deprecate cite_references_prefix/cite_references_suffix.
This message is rarely used and opens up compatibility hazards.
It was already removed by Parsoid, but the PHP implementation
still had it. It's typically used to add inline styles to the
wrapper which is more appropiately done in Common.css (or
obsoleted as part of the skin or Cite extenion itself nowadays
depending on what style in question).
It was also a HTML-style message with separated open and close
segments, which is an anti-pattern in itself.
* Declare module target explicitly and include mobile. The absence of
this stylesheet caused subtle BiDi/RTL bugs on mobile.
