[Mediawiki-l] Link and edit problems in 1.3.3

Sat Sep 18 02:23:13 UTC 2004

We just set up a mediawiki to discuss some open source software now 
under initial development but have been annoyed with several problems:

Clicking on a selection in the navigation sidebar often gives a generic 
not-found message until the target page has been accessed through an 
embedded link.

Clicking on an embedded link or an edit tab or a preview or save button 
often results in a two line gobbledegook error message, but the second 
or third try after backing up usually works just fine. Sometimes the 
message occurs for save but the page is saved anyway.

Text that is indented is rendered in a dashed box despite no such hint 
in the user guide. It doesn't even contain all the text in many cases.

Surrounding an indented line with <nowiki> and </nowiki> suppresses the 
box but loses the indent.

Are we doing something wrong?
