Hi, I have created a local MediaWiki installation (from SVN), and retrieved the Wikipedia extensions (from CVS) as I could gleam from the Special:Version page on Wikipedia, and imported an XML dump using following command: bzip2 -d enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2 cat enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml | php5 maintenance/importDump.php After importing, most of the pages render correctly, however some templates which use ParserFunctions, are rendering parts of the templates as escaped HTML. The page George_H._W._Bush (in my copy of the data), is using a Template:Infobox_President, with code as follows: Code at: http://pastebin.com/722852 The rendering has turned <tr> and <td> to &lt;tr&gt; and &lt;td&gt; in certain cases: Code at http://pastebin.com/722855 (please note the &lt and &gt which is highlighted in pink) Does anybody know what could possibly be causing this problem? Thanks Richard Wooding
