I note that some upgrades have taken place over the past few weeks or
so. Everyone may be aware by now that the special characters at the
bottom of the editing pages have disappeared. I am wondering whether
there is an easy way to salvage these (it took me forever to work out
how to get them there in the first place!). I am confident that many
other languages besides Sicilian are affected. Can anyone suggest
something I might be able to do?
Some formerly HTML UI bits are now wikitext to increase security,
resilience against mistakes and bugs, and aid general ease of use. You
can now create the special character insertions using an extension,
which should actually be much easier than the old way of cut-n-pasting
a lot of JavaScript links.
