URLs in <pre> sections, and 'bug XXX'/'rXXX' appearing in the middle of something that shouldn't get turned into a link frequently get turned into links. :) When formatting user comments, we need to make sure we're not interfering with wiki markup.
What is driving me bananas is when somebody puts a long string of unbroken (zzzzz...) (or broken but inside a <pre>) text in a comment. This in turn takes the whole http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/comments <table> along with it. To reproduce, make a comment with a thousand line string of A's. Then browse http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/comments Note how everybody else's comments now don't fit in the browser, and you must horizontally scroll back and forth to see each one in entirety. May be a separate bug...
(In reply to comment #1) > May be a separate bug... > Probably is, yeah, but it's crazy that that table doesn't word-wrap, agreed,
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/51997#c3001 seems related. It's rendering as: <a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19359" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:19359">[https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19359 bug 19359]</a> Very strange.
Yes, I got this today trying to insert: [[File:Login-r84930-applied-82155.png]] in the comment - no image gets inserted, but r84390 is nicely underlined instead :) Fair trade?
Bumping priority and importance of this. It interrupts development work when people are unable to leave a comment in CodeReview without it being mangled. Currently... <pre> http://example.com </pre> turns into... [http://example.com http://example.com] This is very bad. And this certainly isn't an enhancement request.
