Description Tristan Miller 2010-04-25 15:37:02 UTC
Links of the form [news:foo.bar.baz] are not translated correctly from wiki markup to HTML.  The resulting URL should be simply news:foo.bar.baz, but MediaWiki instead converts it to news://foo.bar.baz/.  This means that links to Usenet newsgroups and messages on Wikipedia, etc., are broken.

See RFC 1738 for the news: URI scheme specification.

This bug is actually in my web browser, not MediaWiki: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617287
