Description Bart 2011-02-15 23:28:25 UTC
Cross wiki links display nothing -- not even the text that normally appears.  For instance:
Am I more of an [[m:Eventualism|Eventualist]] than I am an [[m:Immediatism|Immediatist]]
is displayed as:
Am I more of an than I am an

This isn't a problem on most Wikipedia pages, except for user pages and discussion pages (especially policy discussion pages where links to common and meta articles are fairly relative to the rest of the wiki).

If a double bracket "[[" is encountered  and the mobile parser can't figure out how to interpret the cross wiki link, it should then go to the bar "|" and display the rest of the link normally as plain text, ignoring the next double end bracket ]] that it encounters.

We don't actually support Windows 7 since development has been stopped on the current mobile site.

In the future, we hope to provide support of Windows phones.

Ah, I am a twat.

So, Windows 7 isn't really that important. Its about parsing
links.

Soooo... its the same mantra (if I had any wish in the world, it would be
to reverse the decision)... "until the new mobile project is launched, we aren't
supporting discussion and user page"

Sorry! :P
