As I could see that the code of an object (article, talk, category ...) maight be altered / changed "automaticaly" during save. (I assume it is the parser module making a syntax verification.) It maight be, that the insertion of code (</nowiki> ...) would not be, what was intended by the user. No message is displayed and it is just another "have to know". In similar situations I would expect a warning (as done at a [[:en:Wikipedia:Edit conflicts]] / [[m:Help:Edit conflict]]). Regards Reinhardt
At http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/User:Gangleri/tests#endless_posibilities a different behaviour as mentioned before is experienced. Regards Reinhardt
Please provide an exact series of steps to reproduce the problem, including explanations of what, exactly, you expected to happen and what, exactly, you found instead.
old test case http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gangleri/tests/nowiki removed provided new test case at http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Bugzilla_0885 description If a page contains a "<nowiki>" which is not closed (with a "</nowiki>") then "</nowiki>" will be added automatically during save 1. either to the end of the page 2. or to the end of the section. I called this "silent insertion" because no warning is generated. Remark: Preview will not show this final "<nowiki>". Regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
see bug 3275: Show warning about missing </gallery>
*** Bug 3275 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
If a page contains a starting <pre> without a closing </pre> the last will be inserted by the parser during save. See http://test.leuksman.com/view/User_talk:195.148.193.2#MediaZilla:00885_.2F_bugzilla:00885
Not a bug, that's just how it works.
Unfortunately the way how it works is not perfect. Any kind of warning in this situation will be good idea. Please do not close this issue just because somebody does not haw time to improve software.
Fixed in r14530.
