I'm working on translation from English to Japanese. Since V1 I had a problem that the reuse reference style such as <ref name="name" /> disappears when I publish an article. Only the first defining refs survives. Actually English ref syntax and Japanese ref syntax are same so I'm fixing refs by copy & paste after the article is published, but this is too troublesome work. I saw the V2 solved some reference trouble so I tried it, then found that reuse refs just disappear before translating (when I touch the right field). Is there any way to reserve reuse refs?

Hum with Google Chrome I get this https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Doc_James/Opioid_overdose
With Firefox it works better and I get this https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Doc_James/Urinary_tract_infection
Would recommend that you use firefox at this point.
I tried firefox but nothing have changed...(please see the bottom of the article) https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:McYata/%E3%83%95%E3%82%B4%E3%83%BB%E3%82%B3%E3%82%A6%E3%82%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BF%E3%82%A4/firefox
You will find many of refs have disappeared from original; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Ko%C5%82%C5%82%C4%85taj
Yes I tried aswell and got the same thing https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Doc_James/Hugo_Ko%C5%82%C5%82%C4%85taj Looks like this needs fixing.
Thanks for reporting the issue with such detail, @McYata, and thanks for helping with the diagnosis, @Doc James.
Using these examples, I created a ticket for the specific case of this style of reference. This fits in our immediate plans to improve references support, so we may be able to work on it in a few weeks.
Thanks!
I confirm that the problem have solved. Now I'm free from the troublesome works to fix refs manually. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:McYata/%E3%83%95%E3%82%B4%E3%83%BB%E3%82%B3%E3%82%A6%E3%82%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BF%E3%82%A4/test
Thank you very much!
Thanks for confirming the problem is solved, @McYata.
Please, keep using the new version of the tool and reporting any issue you may find!
I want to inform a problem here again because almost same issue has appeared. I translated w:en:Adelaide of Susa with V2. However, many of refs disappeared and I had to refill them.
We had the problem occur when the meta data for the ref occurred within a template or infobox. I had a tool build for EN WP that moves the reference metadata out of the infobox to solve that part of the issue. Does not look like it played a roll in your current problem though.
