Comment 1 Danny B. 2007-09-28 22:01:01 UTC
Why should this be bug? Why they shouldn't?
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2007-09-29 20:11:29 UTC
Because in general messages should be plaintext or wikitext, with predictable and safe behavior.

Raw HTML messages are deprecated, and we plan to migrate out the remaining ones and do not recommend adding new ones.

There should already be a bug entry for this, though, that it should be duped to.

I couldn't find another bug entry, but related bugs are:
* bug 212: Many MediaWiki: messages not safe in XHTML
* bug 1023: Language files are not XHTML-compliant.
* bug 3208: "Wikify" remaining plain MediaWiki messages
* bug 8521: Show HTML support status in MediaWiki messages
Comment 4 Niklas Laxström 2008-07-12 20:41:21 UTC
List probably outdated, remaining messages are changed slowly when noticed, except in few high visibility places like edit summary. In addition, almost a dupe to 212, closing.
