Description Liangent 2013-11-08 07:27:19 UTC

Repro:

1. Go to [[MediaWiki]]
2. Write "{{#property:P856}}xx" in page text

Actual:

3. A link to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWikixx is generated (rendered from wikitext "http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWikixx")

Expected:

3. A link to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki is generated, followed by "xx" which is not a part of the link (rendered from wikitext "[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki]xx")

Does [{{#property:P856}} whatever label you want on the link] work? This might be more flexible.

This fails when there're multiple statements for P856. See also my post in wikidata-l.

Can you please name a case where this is useful?

Well rendering is already broken on any wiki where comma-separator is considered as a part of free-form URLs (IRIs?) by MediaWiki.

Comment 5 Lydia Pintscher 2013-11-14 12:11:31 UTC

Please provide links and concrete examples of the issue.

The solution could be to make generated wikitext self-contained (ie. irrelevant from context). This is the point of this bug and that mail (to the list).
