http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Ipbreason-dropdown gets parsed wrong, cf http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Block/Jimbo_Wales Block reasons containing piped links are shown partially
r83795 appears to have last rewritten Special:Block ... That switched it from generating the list with Xml::listDropDown() to going through HTMLForm's 'selectandother' type (HTMLSelectAndOtherField class). Most of that code seems to come from r83298... it just doesn't look compatible, as it adds a "|" explosion and seems to use it for ..... some kind of special naming keys or something?
r97860 fixes regression by removing the extra "|" syntax feature that HTMLSelectAndOtherField added that was incompatible with Xml::listDropDown. Block reasons from mediawiki.org containing links now work again.
Merged to REL1_18 and 1.18wmf1 in r97861, r97862.
