For reasons that I don't understand, on the Panopticon Archives, in this section…
…the links all point to pages with those supposed titles — i.e. [[Protection issues]]. Strangely, it does not appear as a redlink there, but if one clicks on them, one is then told that these pages are "the Zero Room" — that is to say that no such page exists.
I was quite puzzled by all of this until I realized that all of the links are written as if linking a page, rather than a category. Thus the example's link should be written as [[:Category:Protection issues|Protection issues]], for Protection issues.
How this mistake could have persisted for this long even though it makes the entire list of links next-to-useless is beyond me (perhaps some upgrade that didn't go well in years past? or a bug when archiving the old Forums?), but it really should be fixed. Thing is, I can't do it, as, being as its name implies an archive, the Panopticon Archive can't be edited by just anybody.
Indeed, perhaps no one, even the admins, can edit it; I don't know. If not, then a possible fix would be to create each linked page as a redirect to the relevant category.
