Some five bugs were squashed. They were the known bugs, the bugs that were documented. There were bugs that had so far not been given the attention they deserve; one bug kills the wish to actually use references in a Wikipedia article.
When you do <ref> some source </ref> you will get another entry in this nice reference section at the end of the article.
You can find the complete <ref> tag in the screen shot. For your convenience, it has been highlighted in blue. From a usability point of view, it is atrocious. It is so bad that even Mr Michael Everson himself was shocked.
Now there is a bug for this issue and there is a chance that the Hebrew community will overcome their reluctance to include sources in their articles. One lesson learned is; there is a relation between localised technology and the quality of a Wikipedia.
Thanks,
