Bug ID: 43438
Summary: Remove Wikitext markup code from text snippets in Echo
flyout and archive
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Echo

Let's aim to remove special Wikitext code from the text snippets wherever
possible, emulating the Watchlist implementation where appropriate.
As a rule of thumb, we don't want to Wikitext markup in the text snippets
payload, as it is likely to confuse new users.
Here's an example of what I got when one of my edits was reverted, which is
pretty confusing:
'Undo revision 980 by [[Special:Contributions/Fabrice Florin (WMF)|Fabrice
Florin (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Fabrice Florin (WMF)|talk]])'
It should simply show the plain text without any markup, as so:
'Undo revision 980 by Fabrice Florin (WMF)(talk)'
As discussed separately, we do not currently plan to make any of these text
snippet links active in the flyout, to simplify the user experience. It would
seem OK to have these links be active in the archive page, where we are making
more links active, but only if it doesn't compromise user safety.
