What is this page? It's not an article, but it's in the mainspace.
According to speedy deletion criteria, it would be speediable, but it's linked by thousands of articles, so...
Any idea what should we do with it?
I'm not sure if this is the same one, but I saw something very similar to that recently. It appears to arise from a conflict between two ideas: 1) Link to some information to explain how to interpret the information in the infobox 2) Don't link to wikipedia: space, because that would be a self-reference.
IMHO, the second principle is a bad one. There seems nothing wrong to me with linking to some actual useful information *about the infobox*, rather than a contrived non-encyclopaedic article in the main article space.
