Description

Author: eep

Description:
If I have a [[Wikipedia:test|]] link inside <ref></ref> tags, the link won't render correctly and the wiki markup will remain just as I typed it, However, if I remove the pipe (|), the link renders fine as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/test">test</a> (test HTML link--hope it works). This can be annoying for interwiki linking (as I do on http://www.tnlc.com/wiki/index.php?title=action where I link extensively to Wikipedia but I had to change all the links inside ref tags that used this pipe trick).

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
URL: http://www.tnlc.com/wiki/index.php?title=action

OK, not being able to edit posts is REALLY annoying... The <a href> link should be a normal link without all that code...

Looks like bug 2700 -- this is a general issue with how certain things are handled in wikitext in combination with extensions. I'll go ahead and dupe this bug to it so it doesn't get separated.

  • This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 2700 ***
He7d3r closed this task as a duplicate of T4700: Pre-save transform skips extensions using wikitext (gallery, references, footnotes, Cite, status indicators, pipe trick, subst, signatures).Sep 3 2016, 12:53 PM2016-09-03 12:53:55 (UTC+0)
