Missing from help page -Previewing references when editing a section

edit

This help page provides no guidance on how to preview references when editing a section.

If I add a new reference when editing a section, a reference doesn't appear below the text in the preview.

References appear as expected when editing the whole page. -Ac44ck (talk) 03:56, 8 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

This was eventually added to the core software in 2015. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:04, 8 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

categories?

edit

I could have sworn this used to be a feature, but I can't seem to find any way to preview whether categories I'm adding are correct or not. Was something about the way this works changed with the beta? ~ PaulT+/C 05:35, 21 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

My bad, the behavior is still there, but it isn't present when using the "show changes" view. Odd, I though that used to work too. ~ PaulT+/C 05:37, 21 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
