Can you explain what "inactive" means? Are they there but when you click/hover them it does nothing? Or are they not links at all?

They were blue superscripts, suggesting they were links. They were inactive in the sense that clicking them did nothing. The underlying errors are now resolved, so this is not currently reproducible.
