Recent parser change regarding tildes in comments?
by Thomas Dalton 28 Feb '26

28 Feb '26

Has the parser just been changed with regards to tildes (~~~~) inside HTML comments? It appears they used to be ignored, and are now suddenly being replaced en masse the next time someone edits the page (and can't be easily reverted - it just changes the sig to the reverter's instead). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/2006-06-02-ear… for an example.

Hello, While I develop and design websites, I’m not a Mediawiki developer. A friend/client has been needing their site updated to the latest version, for several months. The site is currently running an outdated version and is needing an update/upgrade. If you have an interest in discussing this project, please contact me. Thank you, sincerely, M.
