Usually one sees: $ URL=...index.php?title=some_non_existant_page $ w3m -dump $URL|sed ... There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page. But if one dares set $wgUserHtml = false;, holy moly, all around the system things become ugly: $ w3m -dump $URL|sed ... <div class='noarticletext'>There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page.</div> And to think the name of the variable is $wgUserHtml. It acts like an $wgANYTHINGHtml. DefaultSettings.php doesn't mention the extent things will break when $wgUserHtml = false. It just says: /** Allow limited user-specified HTML in wiki pages? * It will be run through a whitelist for security. Set this to false if you * want wiki pages to consist only of wiki markup. Note that replacements do not * yet exist for all HTML constructs.*/ $wgUserHtml = true; So also mention *Breaks system messages. *Better edit any HTML off of existing pages first. *some HTML tags are also wikitext tags, some wikitext tags are HTML tags, so better get a grip on which are which, unlike yours truly.
Yeah, nothing works with that off as wiki text throughout the UI relies on it. Don't turn it on; it'll likely get removed at some point.
Maybe we should get it removed for 1.10 ?
If we drop it, make sure we add a note on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgUserHtml
$wgUserHtml is no more. Committed as r21285.
