"Anchors (<A> Content </A>) in Wikipedia articles are not being displayed correctly in my browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 5.00.2314.100 running under Windows 95 Version 4.00.950 B)." Splarka: This is most likely due to the odd behavior of IE5 in parsing css. It will treat ">" the same as "," (the IE5 css engine predates child selectors). So a rule like div.somethingspecific > a {display:block;} will be parsed as div.somethingspecific , a {display:block;}, which then will apply to all anchor tags. So check the applied CSS for such a thing, find who did it, and file a bug (as it should also affect IE6, except IE6 will simply not apply the rules). I have only been able to find such rules in http://en.wikipedia.org/w/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/css/combined.min.css?16
We don't support IE5 or 5.5 anymore. Even if someone provided an actual tested patch, we deleted IE5Fixes.css and IE55Fixes.css a little while ago, so we'd have nowhere to put it.
