This is a ParserFunctions-related problem.
It looks like an error message produced by the
ParserFunctions
package. I've never seen this on
en.wikipedia.org so I wonder if some
customization or other cleanup has been done.
I'm running MediaWiki 1.15.1 and the versions of Cite and
ParserFunctions that correspond to 1.15.x.
Is this something easily fixable?
Wikipedia uses the latest alpha versions, in this case 1.16alpha.
It's possible that some feature was added in more recent
ParserFunctions versions that's incompatible. But I can't actually
see any changes to Expr.php since the 1.15 branch, or any relevant
ParserFunctions changes at all.
Do you have links to pages on your site that show the error? It
should be possible to track down exactly what's causing it using
Special:ExpandTemplates, if no one has any ideas.
