I never knew references were invisible to anonymous users until I logged out and saw it for myself. I'm pretty sure this is unintended, and I'll see if I can fix it. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 13:22, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

:Turns out this is [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11224 an ancient bug] nobody ever fixed. I [http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki?view=rev&revision=36333 fixed] it, and references for anonymous users are now working again, with the catch that they won't show up until the cache is purged or the article is edited (because the old, referenceless versions are still stuck in the parser cache). --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 14:18, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

::It's very crazy. What I ''think'' happened is that some code somewhere wanted to know whether the current user had edit rights, and if it turned out they didn't, the parser would be fired up to generate a permission error message, and upon initialization that parser instance would erase Cite's record of <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 19:58, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
