I sometimes see <root> tags in the output of the standard monobook pages. The following item is also enclosed in <p> tags which adds extra newlines. The same page can be displayed with and without the error. This is noticable in two places: 1. The "f-list" section of the standard page footer. I sometimes get: <li id="viewcount"><root><p>This page has been accessed 23 times. </p></li> rather than <li id="viewcount">This page has been accessed 23 times.</li> 2. When editing, the "This is a minor edit " and "Watch this page" labels are output on a new line after the checkboxes. The source has: <input name="wpMinoredit" type="checkbox" value="1" checked="checked" tabindex="3" accesskey="i" id="wpMinoredit" /> <label for='wpMinoredit' title="Mark this as a minor edit [i]"><root><p>This is a minor edit </p></label> <input name="wpWatchthis" type="checkbox" value="1" checked="checked" tabindex="4" accesskey="w" id="wpWatchthis" /> <label for='wpWatchthis' title="Add this page to your watchlist [w]"><root><p>Watch this page </p></label>
This is about rendering specific to Monobook skin. Moving to a better component.
Is it still happening? This might have been caused by some malfunctioning of the messages system, and I think it has been largely reworked since 2009. Personally I've never seen this sort of issue, and the website in the URL field (http://thcc2009.co.uk/) seems dead.
Resolving as WORKSFORME to reflect the current situation. Thank you for the feedback.
