Description Scot Harkins 2009-02-20 00:40:49 UTC
What:
I am using the "Classic" skin, which I believe is actually called with the tag "standard".

Where:
I have reproduced this problem in Google Chrome 1.0.154.48, Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13, and Firefox 3.0.1, all on two Windows XP Professional build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1263 (Service Pack 3) systems, one inside our corp network (and pulling through a webfiltering proxy) and on my home DSL (and no proxy, but with Firefox 3.0.5).

Using the Classic skin on the following three sample links:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power#See_also

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_the_United_States#See_also

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine#See_also

(#See_also added for ease...string is rendered to the page regardless of the tag.)

The Problem:
In this skin the string "oieibwhghoreog" appears under the "See also" section header.  In the examples here it occurs with the portal reference for the Energy portal (Portal:Energy).

If I log out, which returns me to the default skin, the text does not appear.

Examples:
Here is a sample of the page source as rendered with the Classic skin:

--- begin source sample from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste#See_also ---
<div class="tright portal" style="border:solid #aaa 1px;margin:0.5em 0 0.5em 0.5em;"> 
<table style="background:#f9f9f9; font-size:85%; line-height:110%;"> 
<tr> 
<td><a href="/wiki/File:Crystal_128_energy.png" class="image" title="Crystal 128 energy.png"><img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Crystal_128_energy.png/28px-Crystal_128_energy.png" width="28" height="28" border="0" /></a></td> 
<td style="padding:0 0.2em;"><i><b><a href="/wiki/Portal:Energy" title="Portal:Energy">Energy portal</a></b></i></td> 
</tr> 
</table> 
</div> 
<p>oieibwhghoreog</p> 
<div style="-moz-column-width:30em; -webkit-column-width:30em; column-width:30em;"> 
--- end ---

The same section rendered with the default skin:

--- begin source sample from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste#See_also ---
<div class="tright portal" style="border:solid #aaa 1px;margin:0.5em 0 0.5em 0.5em;">
<table style="background:#f9f9f9; font-size:85%; line-height:110%;">
<tr>
<td><a href="/wiki/File:Crystal_128_energy.png" class="image" title="Crystal 128 energy.png"><img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Crystal_128_energy.png/28px-Crystal_128_energy.png" width="28" height="28" border="0" /></a></td>
<td style="padding:0 0.2em;"><i><b><a href="/wiki/Portal:Energy" title="Portal:Energy">Energy portal</a></b></i></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div style="-moz-column-width:30em; -webkit-column-width:30em; column-width:30em;">
--- end ---

End:
That it is for now.  I have not recursed to find common variables (edited by same user, does shifting the portal link down a line have any impact, etc)...I may try those later as I find time.
