Template talk:Cite

I'm not totally sure how this template works, but it seems as though when a character who doesn't have an article is quoted, the page sometimes tries link to that article anyway even though no redlink appears. Because of this, we have article titles like "A Baby Goron," "Red Goron at Goron Dance Hall," and "The Goron Elder" (that last one could become a redirect, but even still) on the Special:Wantedpages list which are being linked to from the Goron article. Those titles are all names of characters quoted on the article, yet there are no redlinks in the References section. I also find it interesting that not every character quoted without an article shows as a wanted page: "Boy" is quoted a number of times on the Poe Collector article, and "A Kokiri girl" on the Kokiri article, but neither of them are being linked to.

So, what's up, and can it be fixed? Jimbo Jambo 00:10, 26 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It is not this template doing it. But I know what the problem is. It is a coding error in the ParserFunctions extension. Sadly, its developers don't care enough to bother to even try to fix it even though they have been informed of it many times. There is no way to fix the extension but there is a work-around. 00:45, January 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh? What would that be? Jimbo Jambo 20:20, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
