Bug #: 31517
Summary: Cannot use templates in <gallery> caption
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.18
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Templates
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
If I do:
<gallery caption="foo {{some template}} bar">
Image_PlaceHolder.png|Caption of the picture
</gallery>
... the caption isn't expanded at all and displays as "foo {{some template}}
bar"
If I do:
{{#tag:gallery|
Image_PlaceHolder.png{{!}}Caption of the picture
|caption=foo {{some template}} bar
}}
... The caption is expanded but HTML code is escaped so it displays as "foo
<span><div><sup>[etc.] bar"
An example is provided here: http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=70852029
Expected result: The caption should be expanded, ideally in both cases; sadly I
presume it would require to add a new syntax, because of the first case.
In order to prove the usefulness of the asked fix:
- there is no problem in putting HTML elements into a <caption> element[1][2],
in case <gallery> would use this element in the future
- on the French Wikipedia we are working on making accessible abbreviation
templates, using <abbr>[3], so that their result is readable by speech
synthesizers.
