Analysing the code from RefBase "Trunk" and "Bleeding Edge" branch, I noticed there was an error when trying to create a RefBase reference on DokuWiki with the message:

"Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many" </ref>

It happens because RefBase Extension tries to create a RefBase reference starting with a number, and it's not allowed on MediaWiki anymore. But it's easy to fix:

Replace the line 43 of /contrib/mediawiki/include/RefBase.Renderer.Cite.php that contains:

$cite .= "{{#tag:ref|$citation|name=$citekey}}";

Replace it with:

$cite .= "{{#tag:ref|$citation|name=refbase$citekey}}";

I noticed that RefBase was not showing my ref, so I noticed that on contrib/mediawiki/include/RefBase.CitationCreator.php file, line 75, it was using a fixed RefBase Serial Key instead of using the Serial Key used on MediaWiki page, probably for debug purposes, but it was not updated into the original code after release, so I replace line 75 content:

"record=" . "27711"//$entry['serial'] .

It must be replaced by:

"record=" . $entry['serial'] .

I would like to commit it myself with the code, but I'm not sure how to do it. If anyone could commit these fixes to the main code, thanks!
