Description lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2007-12-25 03:30:53 UTC
Dear friends,

the url is a w3.org validation link for
http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/talk:Main_Page?oldid=29834


The result is:

Validation Output:  1 Error

   1. Error Line 531, Column 257: document type does not allow element "hr" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag.

      …ly big category</a></span><br /><hr /><a href="/wiki/Category:Really_big_cate

      ✉

      The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.

      One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").

Best regards Reinhardt [[user:Gangleri]]
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2007-12-28 00:54:23 UTC
This seems to be triggered by the wgUseCategoryBrowser mode, which was mysteriously enabled on test.wikipedia.org. (I've now disabled it, so the sample URL no longer triggers the error.)

There's a good chance there's other breakage with this mode, which is off by default and unused at Wikimedia sites.
Comment 2 Chad H. 2008-12-04 19:24:41 UTC
WORKSFORME as of current trunk. All elements are nested properly.
