Summary: Leading asterisk, hash, colon or semicolon in parser
function output incorrectly parsed as if beginning a
line
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.18-svn
Platform: All
URL: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/*foo
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Page rendering
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
If the output of a parser function or magic word begins with "*", "#", ":" or
";", it will be parsed as a list item even if it's not actually at the
beginning of a line.
This bug has been observed on both 1.16.1, current wikimedia-deployment and
1.18-svn. It can be easily reproduced by parsing e.g. "foo{{plural:1|*bar}}",
which should yield "foo*bar". Instead, the string gets incorrectly parsed as
"foo<ul><li>bar</li></ul>".
Another way to observe this bug (and the context in which it was first noticed)
is to visit a nonexistent page with a leading asterisk in its title: the
{{PAGENAME}} magic word in the noarticletext message also triggers this bug if
its output begins with an asterisk.
