Summary: Allow anchor (<a>) tags in wikitext
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: b...@mzmcbride.com
Currently, Sanitizer.php bans the use of an <a> tag, even though it's possible
to mostly replicate the effect of an <a> tag using internal or external link
markup (e.g., "[[foo]]" or "[http://example.com foo]"). However, wikimarkup
does not allow for certain attributes to be passed to the rendered <a> tag, for
example title="" and target="".
Obviously a whitelist/blacklist would be needed to allow or disallow certain
attributes from being used, however I believe some of this sanitation is
already built in to MediaWiki or could easily be as necessary. Allowing the <a>
tag has a number of benefits and it's the usual practice to allow the HTML
equivalents of markup that's allowed in wikitext.
