Current Minerva skin is purposely restricted to 55.8em
This means references will never be split into 2 columns as 30em*2=60em.
Dropping it to 25em would mean the CSS applies here and no more than 2
columns would ever be used to display references.

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.

When VisualEditor is not installed, there is no point in registered
resource loader modules that depends on it. A use case is trying to run
tests for the MediaWiki tarball. It comes with Cite but without
VisualEditor.
The patch is based on GuidedTour patch by Matthew Flaschen

extension.json only removes top level and "config" keys that start with
@, so this "comment" was actually being passed onto ResourceLoader and
eventually being ignored at that stage.
But since it's not a recognized value, it causes validation of the
extension.json file against the schema to fail.

* The query request prop=references will return a JSON blob of all
references in the page
* Conveniently references are returned with an array id key that corresponds
to an anchor tag in the HTML
* When references storage is disabled the API request will trigger an

This merges the content of the LinksUpdateConstructed hook callback
into the LinksUpdate hook callback since it's fine to defer saving
to the cache.

This stores references in page_props during links update in
compressed JSON form. If the size is too big, it's broken up
in several parts to fit, which is very unlikely to occur more
than once.
When the data is retrieved from the db, it's always cached. If
set in config, it's also saved in the cache on parse. If not,
the cache is invalidated when references are modified.
Uses cases include : section preview to also show refs defined
elsewhere on the page (T124840) and MobileFrontend (T123328).
For the later, this still needs API support (T123290).
There's a soft dependency on the core change

This code has been developed over three years now in the repo of MediaWiki's
integration of VisualEditor. It has grown and developed significantly during
that time, but now is pretty stable. A number of hacks inside the MediaWiki-
VisualEditor code base have been used to prevent this code from being loaded
on wikis where the Cite extension is not deployed, but this state of affairs
is and always was meant to be temporary.
This code is under the MIT licence which is a tad messy, but not impossible.
It's clearly labelled as such. The list of authors has been updated to take
into account the influx of new functionality.

* Add a new module ext.cite.style to load the new CSS.
* Add a ResourceLoaderFileModule that adds the correct CSS file
depending on the content language, so that the visual style of
citations can be changed per-language.
The main ext.cite.style.css file renders similarly to MediaWiki's
default Cite style. Also, an example CSS for Farsi numbering is
included.
