Usage

Implements mw.text.killmarkers( s ): remove references and other parser tags from the input string s.

See parser tags description mw:Strip_marker.

Note: removing a <ref> tag may cause "ghost" references (not in text, but appearing in reference section). See "with" example below.

Without:

Hello world.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.example.com/|title=Example reference A}}</ref>

→ Hello world.^[1]

With:

{{KillMarkers|Hello world.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.example.com/|title=Example reference B}}</ref>}}

→ Hello world.

Ghost reference created:

{{KillMarkers|Hello world.<ref>(Ghost reference) {{cite web|url=https://www.example.com/|title=Example reference C}}</ref>}}

→ Hello world.
