[Mediawiki-l] <pre> tag not working

[Chris Earle]

Hi all,

I have been trying to cut and paste some pieces of the Meta Help into some
basic help files for my wiki but the parts that are in <pre> </pre> tags are
totally not working.  The code is there, i.e. wiki code in between the tags
.... you've all seen it, the examples for how to use various wiki markup
etc.
But when you preview or save the page, it turns into something like this:

 NaodW29-pre7c193d5a7493d86000000001

what happened!?


I'm on
    * MediaWiki: 1.5.1
    * PHP: 4.4.1 (apache)
    * MySQL: 5.0.15-log

Using the mozilla cavendish wiki skin.

Funny thing I noticed is that if you search in google for that string
NaodW29, look how many ppl have the same problem?!

Any suggestions/direction would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
