Description Mike.lifeguard 2007-09-26 16:24:07 UTC The apostrophe in the username doesn't render properly in the tab. I imagine it probably happens for other "special characters" as well. Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2007-09-26 19:19:40 UTC This appears to be a customized tab: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Nstab-user {{PAGENAME}} return value is escaped for use in wikitext (eg to ensure that '' doesn't create italic markup), but the message returns straight text, so it doesn't work as desired.
