VisualEditor/Complex transclusion

This is a workaround for inserting wikitext into ref tags. This can be useful if you are copying pre-generated citation templates or working around T4700.


 * 1) Open the Basic (manual) reference form in the Cite menu. (Skip this step if you don't want your content inside tags.)
 * 2) Choose Insert > Template.
 * 3) Click the "Show options" button at the bottom. This takes you to the complex transclusions tool.
 * 4) Click the "[ ]" button at the bottom (the tooltip says "Add content").
 * 5) Paste your wikitext in there.
 * 6) Realize that the "Insert" button is still grayed out, so insert any template at all in the first box.
 * 7) Now go back and click the red trashcan icon to delete the pointless "Template" blank (where you just added a template).
 * 8) Click the now-green "Insert" button to get back to the Basic Reference dialog (or to the regular article – if you skipped step 1, then proceed to the last step now).
 * 9) Click the "Insert" button to insert the citation.
 * 10) Save the page.
