Dandorid: Please check your recent edit. There is a reference at the end of "A way to explicitly specify that the target is unavailable." For me, clicking the ref (currently [7]) does nothing. It should jump to and highlight ref 7.

Thanks for the detail. I assumed there was something off. Dandorid is also the creator of {{Ref RFC}} so they are the right person to debug. I hoped to avoid looking at it myself but had a quick peek and see that it requires a hand-built database of every used RFC, for example
Template:Ref RFC/db/46. Yikes.

Yikes, maybe... I am happy to pursue an alternative if you have one. The {{Ref RFC}} template generates a <ref name='rfc9999'>...</ref> code, but when page numbers and/or quotes are requested the template reverts to an empty <ref>...</ref>, since multiple references to the same RFC have different content. Using option 'rp' instead of 'p' generates a {{Rp}} within the <ref>, but quotes cannot be taken out that way.
