There seems to be something wrong with this template's application to other pages that contain it. You'll notice that in the template, the only person who doesn't have an article is Elizabeth of Lancaster. However, if you look at a few pages in the group, listed below, more links than that are red. The destination articles do exist, and are not mislinked, but apparently direct to the edit page of the article in question -- as if the article didn't exist yet.

Isn't this odd? The template system isn't manual, after all; shouldn't it be identical everywhere? Or were the faulty pages generated some time ago and not updated? Most importantly, how is this fixed?

Edward III Edward, Prince of Wales Richard II Catherine of Lancaster Edward, Duke of York Henry the Young King Geoffrey, Duke of Brittany Joan of England, Queen of Sicily Alphonso, Earl of Chester Joan of England

The large group I noticed dropped was the 2nd through 5th sons of Edward III, but some drop as few as one, often Thomas, 1st Earl of Norfolk.

I can't replicate the problem, but I purged the cache. Hopefully that will fix it. Titoxd^{(?!? - help us)} 03:44, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

So you see every link except Elizabeth of Lancaster as blue in the pages I linked? I'm still seeing redlinks, even when I reload the pages. -- Minivet 16:31, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

After writing the above, on some advice, I made a null edit, which seemed to fix the problem. -- Minivet 16:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
