Looks like the Wikipedia links on work pages (under the External Resources section near the bottom of the page) are all busted. Instead of linking to the intended Wikipedia page(s), everything just links back to the current page.

Check out The Odyssey for numerous examples.

Seems OK to me. I click on one of the Wikipedia link, a popup appears which gives me a direct link to Wikipedia (which works) and a list of LT works referencing that link.

I think its time to turn off any plugins you might have installed and see if that fixes the problem.

I wonder if someone saw this and fixed it? I tried it out numerous times on a couple different works before posting, and it was broken then. Now it works. Hrm.

>3 jjwilson61: Yeah, my first thought after andyl's post was that AdBlock was blocking it somehow. Paused AdBlock; links worked! Unpaused AdBlock, and...they still worked. Oh well.

>5 saltmanz: Huh. That's very strange. Sorry for the hassle! Let us know if it happens again? As far as I can tell, we didn't have any issues on this end that would have caused this behavior.
