Sorry, but I found another bug ^^;

Haven't tested it on other pages, but on this page, if you hit the red (i) and then try to select the error to see what was written, it takes me to what looks like a blank list page in the People section of the Encyclopedia (like what you'd get if you selected a letter).

And how did you get to that page? It works but there's an extra people.php in the url.

I just clicked the "error" link directly from the voice actor's page.

Exact steps:
*Open voice actor's page
*Click the red (i)
*Click the "error" link
*End up on the weird page.

No, I meant how did you get to the actor's page.
You were at
animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php/people.php?id=3774
but the correct url is
person#3774
so obviously you got there through a wrong link somewhere.

Aaaa. I did a site search (not encyclopedia search), via the firefox search bar, for his name in kanji, and that was the first link.

Dunno if this was related, but I seemed to be getting two of seemingly the same result each kanji search, too. The first was the link I gave there, and the second would be "[Name] (In the news)", but the preview looked the same. I never clicked any of them to see what it was, though.

I'm certain I've seen that double URL bug discussed before.
