Trying to upgrade to MW 1.17/SMW 1.6/SM 1.0, but a new problem emerged: When I have an ask query with map results that use a template, many of the formatted elements (headers and links at least) that appear above the map have the UNIQ...QINU in them, with source code like: <h3> <span class="mw-headline" id=".7FUNIQ527bb8725a0682a4-h-0--QINU.7FSettlements">UNIQ527bb8725a0682a4-h-0--QINUSettlements</span></h3> I have some form links which are replaced completely by the UNIQ tag: {{#formlink:form=TextBlock|link text=Add quote...|query string=super_page={{PAGENAME}}&Attribute_t[Place]={{PAGENAME}}&Attribute_t[AttType]=quote}} becomes UNIQ352fb3c1cbec798-item-1--QINU formatted elements appearing *below* the map are fine. Other templates work fine, and if I remove the template= from the ask query, it works fine. This wasn't a problem in MW 1.16.1/SMW 1.5.6/SM 0.7.7. I think I followed all the upgrading instructions. Might I have missed something?
This is a bug occurring when combining MediaWiki 1.17.x with SM 1.0 and using the template parameter. I have looked at it but could not find any working solution. (Well, this sort of is, originally you'd simply get a fatal error when trying to use the template parameter) The issue does not occur for MediaWiki 1.18 and later. This is quite unfortunate of course. You can always try getting a core dev that knows the MediaWiki parser well have a look at it.
Ouch! This is no the answer I'd like, but I understand that it is not worth fixing if it will go away soon. I suppose I can make do until 1.18 is released.
This old friend suddenly resurfaced again. It seems to me like it happened here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/extensions/SemanticMaps.git;a=commitdiff;h=969389786dcfffdeb12f5758d82279d0c509e995 See example output here http://xn--ssongsmat-v2a.nu/ssm/Test
MediaWiki 1.21alpha (c86351c) Semantic MediaWiki 1.8rc1 Semantic Maps 2.1 alpha (30c1b77) Maps 2.1 alpha (818f8f4)
Investigating further, this seems to happen when a template included at the same page as the map contains one or more <nowiki />-codes. It also happens when calling parser functions that use Parser::recursiveTagParse somewhere in the code.
...but only if the parser (or tag) function is placed BEFORE the map ...
And finally a live example: http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_Maps_examples/Using_templates_(queries)
Could you try https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/44608/ and see if that fixes it? It's putting back in the old dirty fix, no time to look for something better ATM.
Yes, that fixes it!
