Wow thanks very much, Bartosz and everybody else who's responded. I'm brand new
to mediawiki and never would have been able to figure this out on my own.

You can see quite clearly in the two examples that are on the
template
page, if you check in different browsers. In
Firefox the results are
what
I would expect, the link labels are
"Carnifex" and "mirror".
However, in
Chrome (and Edge) the labels are
"I:Carnifex" and "I:mirror", which
based
on the template code I would not expect at all.
Does anyone know why
this
is happening?
This is caused by the code here:
https://ddowiki.com/page/MediaWiki:Gadget-nsShortener.js
$( 'a.item' ).each( function() {
$( this ).html( 'I:' + $( this ).html() );
} );
This adds the "I:" before the links.
I think the differences between different browsers are not because of
the browsers, but because of the basically random loading order. This
piece of code relies on the "item" CSS class, which is added by JS code
here:
https://ddowiki.com/page/MediaWiki:Common.js
$( 'a[href^="/page/Item:"]' ).each( function() {
$( this ).addClass( 'item' );
$( this ).html( $( this ).html().replace( 'Item:', '' ) );
} );
However there is nothing to enforce that it runs before that one. If
they run in the wrong order, the "I:" won't be added.
Try adding "|dependencies=site" to the entry for "nsShortener" on
https://ddowiki.com/page/MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition , I think that's
the right way to fix this.
