If you're trying to emulate Wikipedia's configuration, I hope you know about Wikimedia's NOC.[1] > When using the cite template and citing a paper or journal and the URL > tag is missing, you get an error in the citation list at the bottom with > error "Missing operand for >". > > We haven't been able to find exactly where the error occurs since there > are several layers of templates.

Error messages like this are pretty easy to grep for, either in the PHP source code or in Special:AllMessages.[2] In this case, it's displaying the "pfunc_expr_missing_operand" MediaWiki message,[3] which means it's likely that there's something wrong with your ParserFunctions extension installation. That's at least a start in the right direction. Make sure you're using a compatible version of the extension with your version of MediaWiki. MediaWiki's ExtensionDistributor tool[4] can help with this. wikitech-l isn't really an appropriate venue for these types of questions. You should try #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net or mediawiki-l.[5][6] Hope that helps.
