The message functions from mediawiki.js (mw.msg etc.) and the functions from mediawiki.jqueryMsg.js treat HTML in parameters differently. While mw.msg leaves it just as it is, jqueryMsg escapes every input without a way to avoid it: >>> mw.messages.set({'testmsg': 'Parameter: $1'}); true >>> mw.msg('testmsg', '<b>Bold</b>'); "Parameter: <b>Bold</b>" >>> gM('testmsg', '<b>Bold</b>'); "Parameter: <b>Bold</b>"
That's probably by design. You can give jquery objects as parameters.
(In reply to comment #1) > You can give jquery objects as parameters. OK, that works: >>> gM('testmsg', $('<b>Bold</b>')); "Parameter: <b>Bold</b>" But >>> mw.msg('testmsg', $('<b>Bold</b>')); "Parameter: [object Object]" Or in a more complex example: >>> mw.messages.set({'testmsg1': '$1 thing(s): $2', 'testmsg2': '$1 {{PLURAL:$1|thing|things}}: $2'}); true >>> mw.msg('testmsg1', 1, '<b>item</b>'); "1 thing(s): <b>item</b>" >>> mw.msg('testmsg2', 1, '<b>item</b>'); "1 thing: <b>item</b>" >>> mw.msg('testmsg1', 1, $('<b>item</b>')); "1 thing(s): [object Object]" >>> mw.msg('testmsg2', 1, $('<b>item</b>')); "1 thing: <b>item</b>" This still means that you have change the parameters in the calls to mw.msg whenever the message changes from something without "{{" to something with "{{" or vice versa. (Or when the code jqueryMsg changes, which parser to use.) So the default mw.msg should change to escape all HTML but accept jQuery objects.
Seems fixed with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/8991/ I get now >>> mw.msg('testmsg2', 1, '<b>item</b>'); "1 thing: <b>item</b>" as expected.
