Save citations when translating

  • Problem: When I'm translating an article in the wikipedia translation page and I save my work and close the page before publishing, all my references get lost and the page only displays a message that says something like "the content is in another source", then when I look into the "references" section, it's all blank, so I have to errase all the citations and write them again.
  • Who would benefit: Translators and editors
  • Proposed solution: Save the references in the same format that the article is written so they don't get lost when saving before publishing. I don't know much about programming so excuse me if I don´t give a better proposal.
  • More comments: It's a problem that only arises if the translation is saved and the page closed before publishing. When publishing the article before saving and closing, references stay fine.
