Ciao Nemo bis,
questo messaggio ti è stato inviato da translatewiki.net per segnalarti che una nuova risposta a 'Style bug' su Support
è stata creato il 15 mag 2014 alle 14:06 da Metalhead64.

Puoi leggerlo a <https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Support&offset=20140515120622&lqt_mustshow=42246#Style_bug_42246>

Il testo è:
[[File:Typography update bug - Vector skin vs. Monobook skin.png|thumb|500px|The bug is the whitespace, highlighted with a red cross-rectangle.]]

Can help this locally uploaded screenshot?

----

Thunderbird automatically links "File:Typography" making it "file:///Typography". The domain is not the same as the email sender, hence a "possible fraud" warning is shown.

Why is this something to fix in MediaWiki code, and how?

Assessing it is the purpose of this report. A hacky fix would be to rewrite "File" to its alias "Image"; but maybe someone can think of some escaping.

I was thinking of upstreaming it, but they'd probably tell you that it's not a bug but a feature. ;)
