Let's discuss EditPage.php's $copywarn = "<div id=\"editpage-copywarn\">\n" . wfMsg( $wgRightsText ? 'copyrightwarning' : 'copyrightwarning2', '[[' . wfMsgForContent( 'copyrightpage' ) . ']]', $wgRightsText ) . "\n</div>"; which uses 'copyrightwarning' => ... released under the $2 (see $1 for details).... (Note the hardwired '[[', ']]' perhaps hackish looking code above.) Well, it turns out if one makes e.g., $ GET 'http://radioscanningtw.jidanni.org/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Copyrightpage&action=raw' http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:版权信息&variant=zh-tw One will get ugly '[[1]]': $ w3m -dump 'http://radioscanningtw.jidanni.org/index.php?title=User:Jidanni&action=edit&uselang=en' |fgrep [[1 the GNU許可 (see [[1]] for details). If you don't want your writing to be That's right, EditPage.php makes the big assumption that MediaWiki:Copyrightpage can only be an internal link. Therefore the outer [ and ] of [[1]] end up being not parsed as part of the link... just page clutter. Also the inner [1] itself is probably not flexible if one wants to make it show up differently.
Yes, it's meant to be an internal link.
<Sniff>, all I wanted to do was make MediaWiki:Copyrightpage = $wgRightsUrl. I suppose I did the best I could without resorting to fiddle with MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning.
For anybody reading looking for a workaround to Edit.php's hardwired expecting of internal links ('[[' . wfMsgForContent( 'copyrightpage' ) . ']]'), the workaround is to just make MediaWiki:Copyrightpage have: [http://bla... Googoo] Sure it will be rendered "[[Googoo]]" instead of "Googoo", but it is better than just "[1]".
