@Billinghurst: Does ext scan link not like Google links? I tried to change it here but it errored. Cheers, Zoeannl (talk) 22:30, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Zoeannl: Equal signs are the problem here. Due to Google urls having an = you need to force them with an explicit positional parameter, rather than the implied form that is used in numbers of templates. What is happens is that the stuff before the = is being seen as a parameter name for the template. To get around this you do {{ext scan link|https...|https...|https...}}. I have gotten into the practice of always being explicit with this template for this reason. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:09, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
