Description Oran Lord 2008-09-04 20:15:26 UTC 
Where: Anywhere an edit summary can be displayed: history page, compare diffs pages, watchlist.

What: When the software displays an edit summary that contains more than one section link (e.g.: "/*Heading 1*/ Copyedit /*Heading 2*/ Fix link"), only the last section link will be properly parsed (the above example would be displayed like this: "/*Heading 1*/ Copyedit - → Heading 2: Fix link").

Expected: All section links should be parsed correctly to contain a link to the edited section and display the section name in gray-colored font.

Steps to Reproduce:
 - Open the edit page window on a MediaWiki project
 - Make an edit to two different sections
 - In the edit summary, type: "/*SectionOne*/ Edits made /*SectionTwo*/ Edits made", where SectionOne and SectionTwo are the section names you edited
 - Save the page
 - Observe the page history (only SectionTwo is properly parsed)
 - Compare the version you just saved with any other version of the page
 - Observe the edit summary in the compare diffs page (only SectionTwo is properly parsed)

Additional Information: This used to work properly. User:Alex Smotrov at en.wikipedia.org suggested that this revision may be part of the issue: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki?view=rev&revision=39373

Another issue that might be related:

<Words> between angle brackets disappear from edit summary, resulting in incorrect section links.

Comment 2 Oran Lord 2009-04-11 12:48:27 UTC 
This is still happening in MediaWiki 1.15alpha (r48811). See the bug description for a link to an example of this bug in action. Here's a more recent example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rick_Berman&diff=283163141&oldid=282764719.
