Hello, the 'confidential' field seems to be either bugged, or perhaps just out of line with editing convention. Example here. It seems to take the 'input' to the confidential field, and then on the page it puts out: [[confidential::INPUT|INPUT]] . I suppose the template author expected the field to simply have the target article title, and to have a link automatically created through the template but the convention I've noticed on every page relating to a confidential is to just manually write a link that truncates some of the article title on the displayed text. I'd say that changing the template would be the best way to deal with this rather than changing every page using the confidential field but it's not my decision. I just wanted to make you guys aware!

There's no flaw in the template that I can find. The issue here may be that this particular "Confidential" — and I'm not sure it really is a Confidential, actually — has oddly been given the name "Doctor Who Confidential: Whatever its name is". That's not how we name Confidential episodes on this wiki. Rather, the convention is "Whatever its name is (CON episode)".
But again, I think Last Night should just have its Confidential line excised, because I'm not entirely clear that A Night's Tale is actually a genuine ep of Doctor Who Confidential.
