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.

I always found the name a little ambiguous. The fact that it outputs
an actual HTML list and not just some "references" – whatever that
means – is relevant, in my opinion.

This was slightly overengineered ever since I4b1f890 and slowly became
more and more complicated over time, notably when withConsecutive was
replaced in Icb951b4. Turns out this was never really needed. It's
impossible to get more than one tracking category from this code path.
While we might add more tracking categories later that will most
probably not happen in this code path.

These tests pass today because Parsoid is providing an
alternative implementation of Cite, but that means this
test case isn't actually testing the code in this repo.

the Parsoid repo to citeParserTests.txt in this repo.

Such a message shouldn't exist, and doesn't:

Additional notes:
* Rename the method to make it more obvious that it's not a cheap
getter, but doing something slightly more expensive.
* Use more appropriate array_key_exists to check if a cache entry
already exists.
* Also add a bit more documentation.

This encapsulation gives us field name, type validation and code
documentation.
This patch only affects ReferenceStack and continues to return
approximately the same array outputs to callers. Some additional
information is included and the placeholder column has a new name.

The previous patch deprecated the last conditional depending on magic
meanings of 0 and -1, so now we're free to let "count" take on a more
natural meaning: the number of times a footnote mark appears in
article text.
Includes a small hack to avoid changing parser output, by
artificially decrementing the count by one during rendering. The
hack can be removed and test output updated in a separate patch.

Stop relying on the magic number distinction between "count" = 0 and -1,
by explicitly testing the "name" field instead.

These fields get automatic values during normal operation, but we
should make this explicit in tests which meddle with internals. This
seems to add some clarity, and helps prepare for encapsulation.

In this case, there was never a ref with this name in the article so
no backlinks should be rendered.

This is another improvement after I7390b68. Status objects are made
to keep track of multiple errors. The only difference is: The merge
method skips duplicates when the message and all parameters are
identical. This causes a minor user-facing change. One of the
shortest possible examples is:
<references>
<ref />
<ref />
</references>
This showed two identical, indistinguishable error messages before,
but will only show one now. We argue this is fine. The duplicates
are confusing and of (almost) no value to the user. In case the
information is relevant the correct solution is to make the error
messages distinguishable, or introduce a message like "multiple
<ref> tags defined in <references> have the same error". This is
something for a later patch, if needed.

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 fixes a minor issue introduced in I294b59f. Two identical
dir="…" with different capitalizations should not be reported as an
error.
Turns out the implementation in the Cite extension doesn't care
about this capitalization at all. That's why I suggest to do the
normalization as early as possible. This is slightly different in
the Parsoid implementation.

Check out how this gets rid of so many "to do" as well as

Next qustion: The elements in the stack become more and more
complicated. It's probably worth converting them from arrays into
first-class objects. But this is for another patch.

Same arguments as in Iafa2412. The one reason to use more detailled
per-method @covers annotations is to avoid "accidental coverage"
where code is marked as being covered by tests that don't assert
anything that would be meaningful for this code. This is especially a
problem with older, bigger classes with lots of side effects.
But all the new classes we introduced over the years are small, with
predictable, local effects.
That's also why we keep the more detailled @covers annotations for
the original Cite class.

This patch only moves existing code around without changing any
behavior. What I basically did was merging the old "guardedReferences"
method into "references", and then splitting the resulting code in
other ways. Now we see a few other concepts emerging. But the idea
something would be "guarded" (how?) is gone.
The most critical detail in this patch are the new method names, and
how the code is split. The names should tell a story, and the methods
should do exactly what the name says. Suggestions?

This removes almost 200 lines from the main class.
This patch intentionally doesn't make any changes to the code but
only moves it around. Further improvements are for later patches.
