             Bug #: 36975
           Summary: Special pages with system messages having sections
                    "==" show section "[edit]" links even when they cannot
                    be edited
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.20-git
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Special pages
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


Special pages which usually cannot be edited (example: Special:Upload) with
system messages which have sections "==" in it are rendered with section
"[edit]" links. This does not make sense and should be repaired.

For example, when you modify [[MediaWiki:Uploadtext]] and change the line

+ To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms:
to 
+ == To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms: ==

then the Special:Upload page is rendered with an "[edit]" link, which does not
make sense.

In my view, System messages which are uneditable should never be rendered with
section "[edit]" links.
