The exclamation marks get urlencoded in the URLs that MW outputs in the HTML (e.g. for <link href="...">) but not for AJAX requests, at least in Firefox. > This patch does that (only during requests > for the user.

It's not a good permanent solution IMO, but it's the best we have right now to fix the site for IE users. I committed the patch in r87711 and applied it to 1.17wmf1 (by hand) in r87712, which is live now. The breakage should disappear within 10 minutes for logged-in IE users, and may persist a bit longer for anonymous IE users. Not closing the bug as FIXED because the fix is temporary and ugly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
