Link rot ... help!

I edited the Norwich Crag Formation page in 2017 and went on to create the Ludham Borehole page. They have since developed severed link rot in their references - I don't know why, as I haven't touched them since then. I have tried to locate the source of the problem, but have now thought best to unpublish the bad bits by reverting both pages to headers only, by bracketing off the infected sub-sections with the < ! -- -- > symbols. Take a look at Ludham Borehole, for example. The problem is that all the references keep sticking at number 1, with an error message there and a stack of error messages in the references sub-section at the bottom. I have checked the syntax / coding of the references but cannot find any errors in them. Can you offer any advice, please?

You have ref=name=''xxxx'' - should be ref name="xxxx" - double quotes required NOT two single quotes. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 17:33, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks User:Ronhjones. Strange, because the '' code worked two years ago. Tall-timothy (talk) 09:52, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It was probably a bug that got cleaned up in one of the many software updates. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 15:45, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
