Bug ID: 67415
Summary: String "display:none" is generally blacklisted and
should not be. It must be whitelisteable, at least.
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All

You cannot save wiki pages having the string "display:none" inside. You cannot
even put the string into the page MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist so as to get rid of
this nonsential and by far too broad limitiation.
I was unable to find the place where it is blacklisted even after extensive
rtfm, thus this bug is against MediaWiiki. If you happen to know the right
place/extension, please move it.
While I understand that SPAMmers use the string so as to hide their spam from
readers and expose it to machines, there are plenty of good uses, most
prominently inside user written navigational templates using CSS to reveal
parts only on :hover with the mouse, which need to be initialized with a
display:none property.
So I request to either drop display:none from its respective blacklist or allow
it to be whitelisted.
BTW: While you can easily overcome the blacklisting with some html-comment or
nowiki magic when saving pages, both system and user CSS pages stop working if
you do. This is opposed to what sane users would expect.
