Description VictorPorton 2011-12-02 19:38:42 UTC
I already mentioned this bug at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29585 but I think it deserves a separate bug report.

Maybe it is caused by me used "Rename user" module?

ugh, I hoped that preference had died :P

What browser btw. that preference isn't supported on all browsers (For example on lynx, older IE)
----
As an aside, parser cache does not vary based on that preference, so it has nothing to do with bug 29585.
Comment 2 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2011-12-02 20:35:56 UTC
Hmm, the user.options module does appear to be broken on MW 1.17 (only the js is loaded. CSS is not)

but it seems fixed in 1.18...

Firefox 8.0 for Linux.

Showing or not showing question signs after a word is not related with CSS.

I will probably update.
Comment 5 VictorPorton 2011-12-02 20:43:45 UTC
I created a new user. The preference does not work with this new user also. :-(

The "?" is in fact added via CSS:

$rules[] = "a.new, #quickbar a.new, a.stub, #quickbar a.stub { color: inherit; }";
$rules[] = "a.new:after, #quickbar a.new:after { content: '?'; color: #ba0000; }";
$rules[] = "a.stub:after, #quickbar a.stub:after { content: '!'; color: #772233; }";

so missing CSS would cause that.

I can confirm this is fixed in 1.18. Thanks for the report.
