Hi Nicola,

You probably got the highlightbroken preference changed somehow. When set to 0, it shows red links with a question mark. It was not very useful, so support for it was removed in MediaWiki 1.20 if I'm not mistaken. If you have an older version, you need to get it set to 1 by default.

In general, you are not supposed to edit DefaultSettings.php for making local customizations, but LocalSettings.php.

Hi guys. I had to restore my DefaultSettings.php file for some reasons, and now, I'm having a strange problem..

Almost every link has a question mark (?) at the end. e.g. username link in the top right bottom after logging in, is "username?" and the "my topics" link is "mytopics?"

Also every category link gives the same problem.. Instead of seeing a red link with "Category" as in the past, now I see a black link "Category?" and only the ? is red. But actually, links are working correctly...

Why? Any suggestion on how to solve?

Thanks to everybody :) Nick

Hi guys, thanks to everybody for the replies. My mediawiki installation's version is 1.20.3, and I can't find the "highlightbroken" preference neither in LocalSettings.php or DefaultSettings.php .

Should I add it somewhere and set it to "1"??

It's a clean install, it has been working for some days, than I made some mistaken edit to LocalSettings.php and I had to replace it. Now the two above files was taken from the just downloaded archive...

Thanks in advance. Nick
