Hi,
We've had a couple of instances over the last day or so (on en
wikipedia) where users signatures (that have naughty unbalanced html
tags) are messing up the page. I guess one of the webservers doesn't
have htmltidy set up.
Two of the users are in europe, one in the US, so ''maybe'' it's one
of the european servers (I can supply deltas if that will help).
And yes, all the offending users are in the process of being hectored
about sanitary html practices...
Tidy was turned off experimentally for a brief period, it was using
about 45% of the average request time. The general idea of wikitext is
that it's not XHTML, it's meant to be more user-friendly than that. I
don't support chastising users for not using correct XHTML.
There are no european webservers at present.
