`forked-to` only works on some repositories
See original GitHub issueOut of 31 source repos of the forks I have on my account, only on 3 of them (funnily, refined-github is one of them) forked-to
seems to work.
Example repo where it doesn’t work: https://github.com/Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot

@fregante Ah, that makes sense. I checked the local storage and cache works (not a lot of entries since I cleared the cache 2 days ago/yesterday):
So looks like the problem here is that the repo key should be lowercase (I manually added lowercase cache entry and now the fork link works)
If after following those instructions you don’t see the link to the fork added to the source repo, it may be because:
Try this in the background page:
And look for something like
cache:forked-to:cog-creators/red-discordbot
It can help you understand why it’s not being associated correctly.
