Implement Extension:ProofreadPage functionality for Parsiod (aka native support of tag:pages to Parsoid)

  • Problem: Since the migration to Parsoid, rest_v1 api placed references at the end of each transcluded <pages ... /> section instead of in the <references/> tag location. It breaks WS-Export, which relies on this api. This causes works exported from the Wikisources to be generated incorrectly.
  • Proposed solution: Implement Extension:ProofreadPage functionality for Parsiod
  • Who would benefit: Wikisource readers downloading tens of thousands of Wikisource texts per month via WS-Export (https://ws-export.wmcloud.org/statistics)
