Bug ID: 44031
Summary: HTML-masked square brackets in values
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal

This bug may already be resolved in SMW 1.9, but I bumped into it on an
installation of MW 1.19.2 with SMW 1.8 (PHP 5.3.3-7 and MySQL 5.1.66) following
an upgrade from SMW 1.7.2. In my case, it is affecting 50+ pages.
As is probably documented somewhere on the website, square brackets are not
supported in semantic annotations (except if #set is used), but this can be
easily circumvented by using HTML equivalents instead. So far so good. However,
when annotation relies on values queried from other pages, and those values
contain square brackets in HTML ([ and ]), something goes amiss.
Schematically,
[[Property::blabla {{#ask: [[Pagesuchandsuch]] |?...|link=none}} blabla]]
is shown as
[[Property::blabla <retrieved values containing [...]> blabla]]
and the value wanted for this property does not get declared.
This did not present any problems in versions of SMW prior to SMW 1.8. I failed
to replicate this bug on two sandbox sites:
SMW 1.8 alpha: http://sandbox.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Cav_1
SMW 1.9 alpha: http://scratchpad.referata.com/wiki/User:Cav/test_2
It could mean that the bug has been fixed, or perhaps that localsettings has
been configured to allow links (and square brackets) in values.
