Ref displays stray external links icon
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The external links icon should not be present in the second line between the [ and the word Multiple:

The ref was originally created by the citoid service; I corrected the title by adding the original Japanese title and putting the English translation into the correct field. I also removed the (redundant) PubMed URL from the URL field.

I don't know whether this is a CS1 problem for @Trappist_the_monk to look at, a Parsoid problem, or something else.

Event Timeline

I can't reproduce it; perhaps it is a ve anomaly (I do not use ve)? Does this problem occur because that citation doesn't actually exist in the §Symptoms section?

Without some indication that this is a cs1|2 problem, I'm afraid I can't be much more help.

Something else that I notice that you did not mention: theidentifier labels: doi, ISSN, and PMID, all have external link icons; they should not, those labels are wikilinked to their respective articles.

It's the only ref in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_chemical_sensitivity#Symptoms but the stray character showed only while I was editing it.

If the stray character showed up only while you were editing, this is most likely a Visual Editor bug, not a Parsoid bug. I've added the VisualEditor tag.

Based on the description, I'm assuming we're looking at 933737293
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Multiple_chemical_sensitivity&type=revision&diff=933737293&oldid=933735003&diffmode=source

Parsoid's current rendering of that version no longer displays the stray icon,

Nor does VE

I love it when something fixes itself. I didn't fix (though I have tweaked that citation some just now).

It was likely fixed by improved external link tokenizing / bailing in Parsoid, or some of the recent churn in the Cite implementation,
