Description chrisnie 2011-08-23 08:40:01 UTC 
Created attachment 8965 [details]
Wikipedia article

Import of arbitrary articles (eg wikipedia, see attachment)
ignores several signs (<,>,&lt; etc.) and thus produces wrong layout and/or
lacks functionality (e.g. references, headings and everything else stored as
html-tags). 

Import has to accept at least the masked variants (eg. &lt;) and put them "as
they are" into the produced wiki article.
Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2011-08-23 10:16:19 UTC 
What if the problem exactly? Do < signs get dropped completely, or imported as &lt; or something else? Which version of MediaWiki are you experiencing this problem with?
Comment 2 chrisnie 2011-08-23 10:24:54 UTC 
e.g. &lt;/ref&gt; simply becomes /ref, i.e. < signs get dropped and references
are not created. I use mw 1.16.4
Comment 3 p858snake 2011-08-23 10:31:29 UTC 
I recommend upgrading to 1.17.0 for a start, But I believe this may be caused by the php & libxml bug from awhile ago (the installer/upgrader will tell you this if the problem combo is found on your system)
