Add a link to a label in an infobox, for example:

... ...

Now, suppose you put infobox in an article but leave out the "Foo" field because it's not needed in that specific article:

When the infobox is rendered, it will only show the "Bar" field with its value and the label will link to Bar, as it should.

But if you check Special:WhatLinksHere/Foo you still will notice the article with the infobox is listed there even though there is no actual Foo link anywhere on the page! The WhatLinksHere page is grabbing a "ghost" link and I strongly believe it's somehow getting it from the link added to the label regardless of it being rendered at all or not.

Is this supposed to be a bug or the normal behavior?

Thank you.
