"id=siteSub" used for different purposes in Monobook and non-Monobook
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

We've had a bug report on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser AWB], from a user
using the cologne blue skin

The bug is
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Bugs#Edit_process_doesn.27t_work_with_Cologn
e_Blue_skin here]

We have managed to trace it to "id=siteSub" being missing from the html of the skin somewhere

The other skins work fine

Thanks

Sam Reed

Brilliantly, "siteSub" in Monobook-based skins is used for a different chunk of
text than "sitesub"
in non-Monobook-based skins (including Cologne Blue), so this can't be fixed
trivially. Users tend
to complain when their custom style rules break for any reason.

I was only passing on something that was found by a user...

If theres nothing that can be fixed, fair enough, just with that one skin seeming to have the problem, i thought
there may have been...

It should be fixed since AWB now uses the API. No feedback since a while, still an issue?

In theory, aye (But yes, we are now using the api). We forced users to use Monobook, and used simple for rendering.

Meh

Feel free to close as wontfix/whatever, doesn't affect us!

Problem was with 3rd-party software doing its screen-scraping wrong. Closing as invalid.
