Yeah, the parser is a little different than the old one, in several
instances. I don't think the differences will affect many articles, though.
I am happy to say that Jimbo fixed the "&foobar;" bug, so it should be safe
now to edit and save articles with special characters again.
BTW, if you notice both a "User talk" and a "User Talk" link on your
user
page, it's just a glitch in the matrix ;) and both seem to point to the same
page. I'll fix it, someday...

Subject: [Wikipedia-l] Slight formatting bug
If you check out
http://wikipedia.com/wiki/How_to_edit_a_page
you will see that many entries under "Character formatting" are
screwed up: the new parser apparently doesn't allow entities like
& in <pre> formatted entries. That was different with the old
parser.
