For several applications I need the possibility to have [[Internal]] and [http://www.external.org] links rendered in [[MediaWiki:Tagline]] strings. Currently, this is not the case. For me it looks like a bug, because the other similar message [[MediaWiki:sitenotice]] which is shown above the page title, allows both [[Internal]] and [http://www.external.org] links !
(In reply to comment #0) > ... For me it looks like a bug, ... This is "how it is". MediaWiki messages are / can be handeled differently. I experienced this for many messages. The only way to find it out is to look in the php code, to use the trial and error method *and* to hope that the message will not be handeled differently in comming releases. This is at least the *third* bug report on that topic during the last three days. I proposed some times ago Bug 2453: [[Special:Allmessages]] should provide information about the type of the MediaWiki message A common table with these types could help a) to generate this type information in [[Special:Allmessages]] b) to use common functions where this additional information is implemented / updated consitently. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
can someone _please_ fix that problem, that tagline does neither allow HTML nor Wiki-syntax links ? I need that working
You selected 1.5-cvs. Is it fixed in HEAD?
is a duplicate description of Comment #8 in bugzilla 3208 http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3208#c8 When can we expect to have this solved ? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 3208 ***
(In reply to comment #3) > You selected 1.5-cvs. Is it fixed in HEAD? Rob, i just checked this for MediaWiki:tagline : NOT fixed in HEAD, i.e. wiki syntax in tagline is ignored. Should be pleased solved -- who can solve this and similar inconsistently not working wiki formatting in certain message text ?
(In reply to comment #0) For those who need [[MediaWiki:tagline]] messages with HTML and Wiki-formatted texts (which is currently not possible), the attached very simple patch is suggested for CVS-HEAD and similar products: /skins/Monobook.php change line 84 (or search for 'tagline') <h3 id="siteSub"><?php $this->msg('tagline') ?></h3> to <h3 id="siteSub"><?php $this->msgWiki('tagline') ?></h3> I will submit a regular patch as soon as the cvs access to sf.net is working again (which is currently not the case for me for an unknown reason). I also ask the experts to review my patch - if it could negative side effects
Created attachment 1178 [details] regular patch for CVS-HEAD to show the tagline and allowing wikified texts and links
