+# `href` Interpolation Failed
+
+#### Why This Error Occurred
+
+Somewhere you are utilizing the `next/link` component, `Router#push`, or `Router#replace` with `href` interpolation to build dynamic routes but did not provide all of the needed dynamic route params to properly interpolate the `href`.
+
+Note: this error will only show when the `next/link` component is clicked not when only rendered.
+
+**Invalid `href` interpolation**
+
+```jsx
+import Link from 'next/link'
+
+export default function BlogLink() {
+  return (
+    <Link
+      href={{
+        pathname: '/blog/[post]/[comment]',
+        query: { post: 'post-1' },
+      }}
+    >
+      <a>Invalid link</a>
+    </Link>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Valid `href` interpolation**
+
+```jsx
+import Link from 'next/link'
+
+export default function BlogLink() {
+  return (
+    <Link
+      href={{
+        pathname: '/blog/[post]/[comment]',
+        query: { post: 'post-1', comment: 'comment-1' },
+      }}
+    >
+      <a>Valid link</a>
+    </Link>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+#### Possible Ways to Fix It
+
+Look for any usage of the `next/link` component, `Router#push`, or `Router#replace` and make sure that the provided `href` has all needed dynamic params in the query.
