[Wikimedia-l] The Wikipedia Adventure, alpha testers needed

[David Cuenca]

Hi Jake!
How are you doing? I just tried your game and I found a bug after earning
the first badge. I was supposed to do an edit with italics and bolding, the
think is that I already had bolded text in my profile, so I just saved
without editing. The interface prompted me "You "Added bold, italics, and
wikilinks". Just click SAVE, and your edits will go live." with the button
"go back and make an edit". The thing is that it wrongly loads:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Micru&action=edit

Instead of the correct:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Micru&action=edit

So far it is the only thing I've seen, good job! :)

Cheers,
Micru
