I talked to James tonight and poked at this bug briefly. Basically the English Wikipedia is using a hack to insert an extra list item element (<li>) into the footer, because they want a "Contact us" link down there, but there's no native support for adding a list item element to <ul id="f-list">. It looks like completely broken code, but in context, it makes much more sense: >From <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page>: ---- <ul id="f-list"> <li id="lastmod"> This page was last modified on 26 July 2011 at 09:03.<br /></li> <li id="copyright">Text is available under the <a rel="license" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License";>Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License</a><a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/"; style="display:none;"></a>; additional terms may apply.

I don't know if a bug already exists, but there should be native support for adding a list item to the footer list items. Then this horrible hack can be killed properly. MobileFrontend doesn't really need to be changed here (and shouldn't be!) and isn't really to blame, this is simply a lack of functionality in MediaWiki core that the English Wikipedia is trying to work around (by abusing raw HTML...). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
