PamD at the English Wikipedia reports that there is no easy way to add new content between a reflist and a template that follows it before you save the page.
This is a problem if your workflow is to add the stub template before adding the external links, which is entirely reasonable.
Steps to reproduce (option 1):
- create page with references and a reflist.
- add a template (e.g. a stub template) after the reflist
- add content between the references list and the template (e.g. an external links section).
Steps to reproduce (option 2):
- Go to a page with no content between a reflist block and a template (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tyson_R._Roberts&oldid=565739822&veaction=edit )
- Delete all content after the reflist:
- Add a template (e.g. a stub template)
- Add content between the references list and the template (e.g. an external links section).
There is a workaround: select the reflist, press the right cursor key once, press enter. This gets you a blank line with which to work from.
Desired behaviour:
There should be somewhere to click between the reflist and the stub template, just as there is after the page has been saved and reopened in VE.
