Apparently the W3C validator does not like an empty <ul></ul> pair. The URL above will lead to the validation page. The problem lies within CategoryPage.php, where an <ul> is emitted at the start of each column on the page. Each time a starting letter is put into the column, the list is closed with </ul>, and reopened again with <ul>. This is a problem at the start of each column, since this leads to en empty <ul></ul>. The attached patch against CVS REL1_4 solves this problem. And yes, this is a minor cosmetic issue, but as I claimed that MW code was clean on a danish webdesign newsgroup, I had to fix this, at least on my own Wiki. The patch is already installed on my test Wiki, <http://playwiki.wegge.dk/Kategori:Teknik> without problems.
Created attachment 252 [details] Patch against the CVS REL1_4 code.
Committed and installed slightly different patch: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-cvs/2005-February/006485.html
