Hello
Some weeks ago I asked whether in general is was acceptable to use
HTML Tags in wikipedia. There was no unique answer, but my impression
was that those constructs which do not have a wikipedia equivalent
such as blockquote.
Now recently I was pointed out, on a german discussion page, that the
use of HTML Tags was, well, basically forbidden.
- One reason was that todays converters could not deal with such
constructs and therefore it would be impossible to convert
discussions page say in wikibooks (I honestly fail to see the
value of that but anyhow).
- The other reason was that the use of such TAGS annoys other
users.
Could anybody comment on that, especially on the issue whether a
administrator has the right to impose the use of certain formating
constructs.
