This flexibility allows users to do things which are otherwise difficult, such as nesting ref tags. It's not "Frankensteinian", it's an intended use-case. As far as I'm concerned, xmlish tags should be deprecated, since backwards compatibility puts constraints on what they can do. Adding even more syntax variations to the grammar for xmlish tags will break compatibility with existing text and make life for WYSIWYG implementors more difficult. All nested xmlish tags were broken, not just ref tags, so the users who decided to nest ref tags were not at fault for this bug in any way. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
