I have added two more wikis to my site (Italian and

AuthDrupal am handling login with the Drupal community site.
I have just noticed that for the two new wikis I see a question mark after
the username?
e.g Paul? Tom? Patrick? etc
Does this have some special meaning?
This is NOT occurring on the first wiki even though the _user record looks
to be identical for each.
Are the two wikis different versions?
I believe this is a user preference called "highlightbroken" (
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgDefaultUserOptions ).
Instead of putting "broken" links (non existent pages) as red links,
it puts a question mark link after the title. You can change this in
your preferences, or for the whole site by putting this in
LocalSettings.php:
$wgDefaultUserOptions['highlightbroken'] = 1;
I recall installing MW once and was surprised to find this formatting
too. Then on a later install it was back to red links, so I guess that
the default value of this option has changed with some releases.
