           Summary: Special:Booksources parsing differs from normal
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Special pages
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


The way wikitext is parsed in [[Special:Booksources]] differs slightly from the
way it is done on a normal page (such as [[Wikipedia:Book sources]]). For
example, <div /> will be transformed to <div></div> on the latter, but not on
the former - probably a call to the sanitizer or Tidy is missing.

Not sure if this counts as a bug, but it can be annoying - I just spent half an
hour hunting down a layout problem on the special page, which turned out to be
an error in a widely used template, which is corrected by the parser on every
other page so no one realized it before.
