Well, that certainly violates the Principle of Least Astonishment. I wouldn't expect individual waypoints of a Lab cache to count as finds any more than I'd expect individual stages of a multi-cache to count as finds. Can you or anyone else point me to documentation that states that this is the intended behavior?

Today (4/18/21 EDT) I started out with 2996 finds, intending to locate 4 more and make a specific cache my 3000th find. When I sat down to log finds this evening, I was already at 3001 finds. My statistics / milestone page lists my 3000th find as "Flanders", which is the fourth stage of a five-stage Adventure Lab I did during the day ("Historic Kent", in Kent, Connecticut - do Labs have reference numbers?). Apparently the individual stages have been incorrectly accrued as finds in my statistics. Why did this happen, and how can I get it corrected?

You are using "smart" quotes to enclose your links (""), probably because you are pasting from some other source. You will need to use plain text quotes ("").
Thank you very much, that was exactly the problem.

I'm trying to submit a set of new cache listings with links pointing to each other and to an external website. I submit the page with links like the following
<a href=”http://coord.info/GCxxxxx”>cache name (GCxxxxx)</a>
<a href=”http://www.townoflloyd.com/pages/lloydny_webdocs/illinoistrail”>Town of Lloyd website</a>
but viewing the page source after submission, the links look like
<a>cache name (GCxxxxx)</a>
<a>Town of Lloyd website</a>
The href attribute completely disappears, and of course the links are broken. What's going on?

Took a TB from a cache today, only to find that there was no TB logged as present in the cache. I'd like to log it and move it along, but I don't know how to identify it. I've got the engraved number from the tag, of course, but I don't have the reference number, and you apparently can't search by the engraved number. The hitchhiker is a small replica of the Eiffel Tower, so I did a keyword search within trackables on geocaching.com, but I couldn't correlate it with any of the 54 items turned up by the search. How do I figure out what bug this is?
I'll wait a decent period to see if anyone logs it in to the cache where I found it, but if no one does I won't know whom to nudge or from whom to grab it.

Adventure Lab stages incorrectly counted as finds?

This is exactly how I feel about it.
You're under no obligation to find each stage of a multicache or Wherigo either, but you don't get to collect a find unless you do.
I have no desire to start - or apparently, continue - a religious war, so I'll just accept that this is the Way Things Are. Final notes:
Thank you all for your responses.
