Probably recent changes in Skin.php caused that message aboutsite is shown with entity (eg. O Betawiki)
The translation should not use entity. It should use literal nbsp if it is needed.
Seems to be fixed.
Confirmed not fixed in trunk. (In reply to comment #1) > The translation should not use entity. It should use literal nbsp if it > is needed. Firefox < 3 eats all literal nbsp's on form save <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218277>. Furthermore, you can't really tell them apart from normal spaces, which is possibly awkward, and they're harder to type. I would suggest an escape-no-entities option for wfMsgExt(), to allow plaintext messages to contain entities (which, after all, are really just plain text, only pre-escaped).
(with edit conflict) (In reply to comment #1) > The translation should not use entity. It should use literal nbsp if it > is needed. > a) Due to known bug in Firefox it's impossible to submit literal non-breaking space character U+00A0 since it's being converted to regular space U+0020. b) Entities are better than literals, because 1) in case of spaces people can't misplace them, 2) some fonts don't supply such characters, so user sees only question mark or square or any other stand-in character while having entity provided user knows what character is supposed to be there.
Fixed in r26893.
Er, I mean, r27986.
