Hi all. My apologies if this is not the right group. I'm trying to find the official MediaWiki version which Wikipedia uses.
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:About, Wikipedia is running MediaWiki version 1.18wmf1 (r104604). However, when I download r104604, I get a version that is close to Wikipedia, but not quite. For example, when parsing the following text: a<sup>2</sub>b MediaWiki produces "a<sup>2</sub>b</sup>" Wikipedia produces "a<sup>2</sup>b</p>" Wikipedia converts the </sub> tag to a </sup> tag. You can see this in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_geometry with the following excerpt: rectangular box ''a''<sup>2</sub>''b'' I've noticed other discrepancies as well (so far about a dozen). I list 2 more below. I can list more if anyone is interested, or think it's relevant. I'm new to MediaWiki development, so I might be doing something stupid. However, I've gone through other versions (svn commands listed below), and I can't figure it out. I've spent well over an hour on it. Can any one point me in the right direction? Thanks.
