Description:
After upgrading my Mediawiki from 1.7.1 to 1.13 I can't use any HTML tags within the $wgSiteNotice variable. Only output I get is the raw text I inputted like
<pre>
<a href='http://localhost/dewiki/index.php?title=Avelgem&action=purge&knowledge=1><img src='http://localhost/dewiki/skins/common/images/pro.png' border='0' alt='gute Kenntnisse'></a>
</pre>
I'm not really sure if this is a bug. My first guess was that there was a general change in handling $wgSiteNotce but after searching for 2 hours I didn't find any hints.
I query a database to show additional information (including links) at the beginning of an article. I urgently need to use HTML in this notice. Is there any way like replacing some files with old ones to make this work again? Where can I find more information?

Thanks for your efforts in improving the Mediawiki software!
