Thread:Project:Support desk/Reference and tag:ref no more work together in Mediawiki 1.18.0 (2)/reply

I think its something specific to your setup (some other extension interfering, different version of Cite extension, etc. Not entirely sure).

Here's what I did to try to test:
 * enabled cite
 * copied template:Remark and Reference_error to my wiki

It worked fine for me on both 1.18 as well as trunk (1.19alpha).
