Website links and IA

I understand how the Website stub works and why it's set up the way it is. Unfortunately, it doesn't currently work well for squatted pages. But I do understand that the additional programming may not be worth it right now.

I have changed it so if capture= is quoted, then only the IA site is mentioned. John (talk) 03:47, 8 May 2020 (PDT)
