Summary: SelectCategory removes Category assignments within
<pre>- and <nowiki> -tags
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: SelectCategory
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
When an article (that has <pre> / <nowiki> -tags which include category
assignments) is opened for editing, SelectCategory takes those category
assignments out. Those categories are also not included in the categories the
page is in. Thus, when the page is subsequently saved, the category assingments
have disappeared.
Clearly, the category assignments within <pre>- and <nowiki>-tags should be
left as they are, since the point of <pre> and <nowiki> tags includes the idea
of excluding wiki markup altogether.
...For our internal mediawiki installation, I have actually made an (quite
ugly) hack that makes it so that lines that include those tags (or are between
the start/end tags of those elements) are not cleaned from category
assignments. It seems to work so far, however no real testing has happened with
this hack. My hack seems to be (so far) adequate for the needs of my
organization, but having this issue fixed in main version would be much
preferred, for obvious reasons.
