BattlesHISTORY citation problem

Question

This is a minimal code for the earlier BattlesHISTORY problem: it's doing that for every citation, unless I have a parencite inline command. I hope this helps.  I have spent a lot of time. Thanks.
documentclass{report}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[style=mla]{biblatex}

addbibresource{references.bib}
   
title{ABC}
author{XYZ}
date{15 08 2020}
begin{document}
American Revolutionary.cite{BattlesHISTORY}

begin{filecontents*}{jobname.bib}
@misc{BattlesHISTORY,
  title = {{Battles of Lexington and Concord - HISTORY}},
  url = {https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/battles-of-lexington-and-concord}
}
end{filecontents*}
   
printbibliography
end{document}

As far as I can see in the biblatex-mla manual, the style doesn't support @misc.
Also, the argument to addbibresource should contain the actual .bib file you want to be read, in this case jobname.bib. For your production version, it might be references.bib or whatever name you have.
begin{filecontents*}{jobname.bib}
@online{BattlesHISTORY,
  title = {Battles of {Lexington} and {Concord} -- {HISTORY}},
  url = {https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/battles-of-lexington-and-concord}
}
end{filecontents*}

documentclass{article}
usepackage[style=mla]{biblatex}

addbibresource{jobname.bib}

title{ABC}
author{XYZ}
date{15 08 2020}

begin{document}

maketitle

American Revolutionary~autocite{BattlesHISTORY}.

printbibliography

end{document}

I used article just to get a single page for the image.

If you add usepackage{hyperref}, then “Web” becomes a hyperlink pointing to the requested site.
