Does <nowiki> work on another contexts?
Yes, I created a new page with just the nowiki tags (open & close), and they
were displayed as such.
You can probably still get the desired result
using
<nowiki>http://</nowiki>test.efx.com:8080/sample
No, when I tried that I got the same result.
For some odd reason, the nowiki tag is not being interpreted, it is just
displayed as ordinary text.
I thought that perhaps this line in LocalSettings.php $wgParserConf
['preprocessorClass'] = 'Preprocessor_Hash'; might have something to do
with it
since I don't really know what it does, but does have something to do with
parsing. It was added to fix a problem when trying to edit a section of a page.
Commenting out this line did not help though.
Experimentation reveals that using "htp://...", "http:/...", or
"http//..."
works to prevent a link being formed. Maybe my readers won't notice.
http://test.efx.com:8080/sample should be enough to prevent the
link from appearing, while keeping the url text right.
Still, it's really strange. You can remove the
$wgParserConf['preprocessorClass'] = 'Preprocessor_Hash'; line. It
selects the old preprocessor (now deprecated). The only drawback is that
you need dom extension, which is not installed with default php with
some package managers.
