| Resolved | Legoktm | T138584 SpecialMobileCite should use LinkRenderer |
The value of article_link comes from $title->getLocalURL() which is passed into the template. I'm thus not too clear on what the issue is here.
Please look at all of the other code that LinkRenderer does, and you'll see everything that's missing, like title attribute, stub classes, etc. In general, when MediaWiki has a standard way of doing something (Linker/LinkRenderer), its best to use it instead of attempting to reinvent the wheel and falling dramatically short.
I see. Sorry the description misled me as I thought you were specifically talking about the URL not the tag. Understood.
