Hey there! No worries, everything is good. I'm also at fault for misunderstanding your intentions. It's pretty clear that we do things differently, but I'm incredibly glad that we are able to properly communicate and resolve this issue.

I think the only thing I can comment on but am not even sure if it's applicable, is the use of. I said unsure if this comment applies because I've not delved into the community to see how people discuss stuff, or really observed if there's a lot of trivia that would make use of it. Again this is something that varies from communities, so sorry in advance if this is silly. (I'm also in no way saying "this is done somewhere else, so it should be done here as well"; that'd just be super rude.) So, in some of the communities I'm in, there're situations where people would showcase incidences to make a point in discussions, for example, "B did this in episode 1, but later amended his action in episode 2, showing that B is capable of changing" (I completely made up this example lmao) in this instance, the templates were set up in ways that could just be used as generating links, instead of references.

Other than discussions, I think it's useful for works that contained a lot of errors (lol) so in sections like Trivia they can just directly be used. I think, Haruichi Furudate has corrected some mistakes and addressed it in released volumes, though I don't know how often this happens. (I think Shinji Watari (not sure if it was him) was shown when the libero should not have been in the court during a specific scene, so it was corrected to be someone else taking his place in the volume) (Urgh, my memory really is awful; probably wasn't Watari, (Hayato Yamagata? Don't remember) just remembered a libero got corrected, and this type of stuff theoretically is worth mentioning as a bulletpoint in trivia (if it's already present somewhere, I just haven't come across it yet) and in that scenario, generating links would be useful.)

I glimpsed just now that some of the Quotes made specifications on what chapters they appeared, which would be another place where being able to just generate links could cover. But yeah, I guess it comes down to if those type of situation happens often. I kept the tag:ref mostly because it's the reference system currently in place, and it's the one I'm most likely to use when I fill out the character pages. You bring up really good points regarding discussions, but at the moment, it's not very relevant to us. There's hardly any discussion going on at the Haikyuu wiki, and our forums have been dead for a long time. I would say the Haikyuu subreddit is a better place to find fans actively discussing the characters and series in depth. Regarding trivias, most of those are placed in the chapter pages or the volume pages that already has a link to the chapter.

Currently, there are only two or three users regularly editing the wiki. Occasionally, someone new would come but they tend to fix grammer/spelling or make new pages instead of filling out existing pages. Our quote pages get updated so infrequently that it's easier to just link manually than creating a template to link. Maybe this would change once season 4 starts airing, but yeah, generating links isn't a top priority. I do understand how useful generating links is, so maybe it's something we could implement when there's a need for it in the future.
