With a fresh parser (I am not rendering messages but a template) it works. However, the parser always wraps my result in a <p> tag (I already removed the <div> via "nowrap" in ParserOutput::getText). Can I tell the parser to not do that or do I need to manually unwrap the text?

You can wrap it in Parser::stripOuterParagraph() On Monday, June 14, 2021, Sebastian Trueg &lt;trueg(a)truegeex.de <mailto:trueg@truegeex.de>> wrote: thank you Brian.

You should not make assumptions about the state of the global Parser instance in a special page. In some circumstances (especially transclusions) it might be in a parse, other times it won't be. If you're rendering an i18n message, its better to use ->parse() of the Message class then to pass it through the parser directly. Alternatively use \MediaWiki\MediaWikiServices::getInstance()->getParser()->getFreshParser() and then initialize it yourself by calling ->parse() on the Parser, so you always know what the state is for sure. -- Brian On Fri, Jun 11, 2021 at 9:27 AM Sebastian Trueg &lt;trueg(a)truegeex.de <mailto:trueg@truegeex.de> <mailto:trueg@truegeex.de <mailto:trueg@truegeex.de>>> wrote:     Hi everyone,     my skin uses the global parser in order to render some parts of the     navigation bar via templates (Parser::recursivePreprocess).
