Conditions: (documentation)	!"confirmed" in user_groups & page_namespace == 0 & length(added_lines) != 0 & edit_delta >= -1000 & ( line1:="(\{\{(r\|R)eflist\|\{\{(r\|R)efs\|<references\s?/>\|</references\s?>)"; removed_lines rlike line1 & !(new_wikitext rlike line1) & /* Use new_wikitext in case duplicates are being removed / new_wikitext rlike "<ref(\s\|>)" & !

Notes:	This filter (split from the more general filter 61, which now recognizes removal of <ref> and </ref>) recognizes all edits by new users that are not complete blankings or redirections which remove {{reflist}} or <references/> tags from an article. If it's triggered without also setting off filter 61, 30 or 3, it will first warn the user it is not productive, then proceed to tag the edit for further review on their next attempt to save. Articles need at least one references section, but the number and format of that section is not overly important removing false positives associated with changing references style. - DF Latest trigger was caused by a duplicate reflist being removed. Exclusion now included. --Mgm I added optional whitespace in <references\s?/>. - Ruslik Greater than 2 to greater than 1 when checking if you start with duplicates (obviously) -Prodego I added a check if any references are still present in the article. - Ruslik Update filter to include new format of references. - Ruslik Simplified the code. - Ruslik Self rv -TS Reset filter, it hit the 5% limit somehow. -- Shirik 14 May 2010 FP fix --Reaper 2012-05-20 Format. -DF Update deprecated params. --SoY 13 Mar 2019 Move redirect check to the end (almost always true), update layout. --SoY 13 Mar 2019 Simplify and reduce conditions. No need to run multiple rcount()s against almost every mainspace IP edit when this should only trip when zero tags remain. Will also now trip if there are multiple tags, and they remove ALL of them. --SoY 13 Mar 2019
