References sections seem to be broken, as neither {{Reflist}} nor <references/> shows the references. --g0urra[T҂C] 10:35, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Correction: it seem to exist on some pages (Valstann Staghelm), but doesn't exist on others (Baleroc, Alysrazor). Neither of them are in the category Category:Pages with citation errors. --g0urra[T҂C] 10:41, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

It's something to do with the lootboxes. Removing them fixes it. --Pcj (TDrop me a line!C207,729 contributions and counting) 13:03, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

I can't say that removing lootboxes fixes them for me.  [Goldenscale Vendorfish].

  • Using <ref >[URL]</ref>, I got bracketed numbers.
  • Using <ref name=something>[URL]</ref>, I got nothing.

The linked page is misusing the name attribute[1]; also needs to enclose the attribute value in quotes. The attribute is really meant for something else[1].
References should work now, though affected pages may need to be purged. — foxlit (talk) 01:18, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, I see where I went wrong. Thanks for the pointer. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 21:17, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
