Changing summary, this has nothing to do with the NTOC. The error is thrown by the Cite extension because a <references /> tag needs to be present for <ref> tags for work.

It's not clear that we will ever do this. It's certainly not a bug in wikiEditor. If anything, the Cite extension should append a <references /> tag at the end automatically rather than giving the user an error.
