In the following example, the template parameter displays incorrectly in edit preview mode. The edit preview should show a TABLE followed by a LINK, but instead it shows a TABLE follwed by {{{ followed by a LINK. This error shows on my 1.5.5 installation but does NOT happen on the current MediaWiki site (where the templates are). I don't know whether this was a known bug which has been fixed and MediaWiki uses a newer version than 1.5.5, or whether this is a regression, or some other reason. I have a template (shown in the Mediawiki workspace): [[Template:Dmoz]] containing {| align="center" |{{ODPAttribution|cat={{{cat}}}}} |- |[http://dmoz.org/{{{cat}}} http://dmoz.org/{{{cat}}}] |} which includes a template: [[Template:ODPAttribution]] containing: <table border="1" bgcolor="#336600" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td> <table width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr align="center"> <td>Help build the largest human-edited directory on the web.</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#CCCCCC" align="center"> <td><font face="sans-serif, Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> [http://dmoz.org/cgi-bin/add.cgi?where={{{cat}}} Submit a Site] - '''[http://dmoz.org/about.html Open Directory Project]''' - [http://dmoz.org/cgi-bin/apply.cgi?where={{{cat}}} Become an Editor] </font> </td></tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table>
Created attachment 1318 [details] Shows how template looks in preview Note that the template itself actually does work correctly, even though in the preview it doesn't display correctly.
(In reply to comment #0) > ... but does *NOT* happen on the current MediaWiki site (where the templates > are). Hallo Hugh Prior! Providing a test case in order to compare with your examples: [[meta:user:Gangleri/tests/bugzilla/04703]] Only the namespaces of the "''templates''" / "''inclusions''" are different. [[meta:user:Gangleri/tests/bugzilla/04703]] shows that the error is not present at meta; either "''no more''" or "''not yet''". Please try to locate the files in the relevant branches, see the revision history and / or make a diff. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
Reinhardt, I don't know if the following comment is to me. If so, what would you like me to try exactly? > Please try to locate the files in the relevant branches, see the revision > history and / or make a diff. I have 1.5.5 installed on my system. Is the site you have tested it on with a MORE recent version? If so, I suppose the bug is fixed. regards, Hugh
Hi Hugh, You may go to irc://irc.freenode.net/mediawiki and ask developers about the different branches of MediaWiki ( http://www.mediawiki.org ) . I refer myself mostly to the CVS branch located at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/phase3/ . see http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/phase3/RELEASE-NOTES http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-cvs/ Beside the CVS branch there are the HEAD branch the various branches at sourceforge.net . Sorry but I can not provide more details. Hope that you get either a response here, help at IRC or trough the mainling list. reinhardt
P.S. Please do not poste to http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-cvs/ use http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/ http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/ instead.
Indeed, already fixed on HEAD. This bug may be a duplicate of another report, but I couldn't find an equivalent in a 10-second quick look.
