I caused (no, I found :-) a cite Error "No text for reference with name x". The [[:de:MediaWiki:Cite error references no text|German errormessage]] includes a hidden link to a service page (to be found by the linklist), when you use it in the user namespace. Now this link exist in the database (it is found in the linklist), but it isn't parsed correctly in the page. The usual <a href... -tag is escaped to <a href... before it is written to the document! Its not a big matter because you can't see it anyway, but might it be an error to all wikilinks in these errormessages? Another example can be found here: [[:de:Benutzer:Netopyr#Einzelnachweise_.28mit_gewolltem_Referenzfehler.21.29]]
It seems double parsed somwhere. Also, adding a link to MediaWiki:Cite error refs without references produces a link placeholder.
Yes, I thougt about that, but as being no admin I couldn't test it.
See bug 17865— "MediaWiki:Cite error references no text" does not parse wikilinks or external links. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 17865 ***
