how did you do this?

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T209493

With this edit to We Are the Romans, you added a citation to the article that looks like this:

<ref name="allmusic-botch"><cite class="citation web">Downey, Ryan. [http://allmusic.com/artist/botch-p366056/biography "Botch – Biography"]. ''[[Allmusic]]''. [[Rovi Corporation]]<span class="reference-accessdate">. Retrieved <span class="nowrap">April 15,</span> 2011</span>.</cite></ref>

We should never see the html that underlies cs1|2 citation templates in article wiki text. Your edit summary for that edit suggests that you took the text of your edit from Botch where this reference is found in Botch (band)#Citations:

<ref name="allmusic-botch">{{cite web| last = Downey| first = Ryan| title = Botch – Biography| work = [[Allmusic]]| publisher = [[Rovi Corporation]]| url = http://allmusic.com/artist/botch-p366056/biography| accessdate = April 15, 2011}}</ref>

that is how the reference should look in We Are the Romans.

Similarly, your edit includes several short-form references that look something like this:

<ref name="preciousmetal318-319">[[Botch (band)#CITEREFBennett2009|Bennett 2009]], pp. 318–319</ref>

which, also from the Botch article, originally looked like this:

<ref name="preciousmetal318-319">{{Harvnb|Bennett|2009|pp=318–319}}</ref>

Here is a link to the reference marker [5] in We Are the Romans §Recording: We Are the Romans#cite ref-preciousmetal318-319_5-0. If you click that reference marker you will jump to We Are the Romans#References and you will see that the Bennett 2009 citation is highlighted. Click Bennett 2009 and you will jump, improperly, to the long-form Bennett 2009 citation at the Botch article. At the Botch article. That is wrong. You should jump to a long-form Bennett 2009 citation in We Are the Romans.

So, why did I write all of this? Because something, somewhere, is broken. I want to know the exact steps you took when you edited We Are the Romans. I want to know: was it something that you did, intentionally or unintentionally? Was it a failure in the visual editor? Was it something else?

Can you help?
