Could you make an edit to your imstaview.js? It is using the RFC magic word and it should be linked or it gets the error.

Line 624;

from:

* Digest Algorithm, as defined in RFC 1321.

to:

* Digest Algorithm, as defined in [[RFC:1321|RFC 1321]].

That should clear the tracking category. --Creol(talk) 21:06, 4 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Wow, that was some ancient script that I don't even remember what it was for (and already commented out/removed from my own monobook.js for a while). Deleted the page since no other page on the wiki seems to be referencing the script. Chenzw  Talk  15:02, 5 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
