Recognizing exotic cite templates
Closed, InvalidPublic
Actions

Description

The bot doesn't recognize exotic {{cite}} template varieties and thus treats URLs contained therein as bare links and then embeds other templates recursive:

{{cite Sports-Reference}}
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gary_Mandy&type=revision&diff=758922525&oldid=728298854

{{cite court}}

WM is now logging the template names that cause these errors so I can discover and add them to the configuration page.
