The text "shatter cones" isn't linked to the Wikipedia article on "Shatter cone"=

As of the date and time I'm typing this, the text "shatter cones" appears in this document but it's not blue and you can't click on it to get to the Wikipedia article on "Shatter cone". I thought this was automatically done by bots that examine content for linkable text and link it. If that's true, then the bots aren't working.2600:1700:6759:B000:1C64:8308:33BC:E2D6 (talk) 15:32, 26 November 2023 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson[reply]
