Description

I've seen a recommendation by termly.io

Comedy Central’s browsewrap agreement notifies the user of their policies with a floating banner on the bottom of the page. To make it harder for visitors to argue that they did not notice Comedy Central’s policies, they’ve placed obvious, bright pink hyperlinks within the banner to their policies so that the user can clearly see them.

The text I wish to use for Cookiewarning-info:

And all of Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Terms of Service, and E-Sign Consent should be clickable links.

Therefore, could you please allow html in message MediaWiki:Cookiewarning-info system message?

Having HTML messages opens a wide door of variations and "stuff" people can do with it. Can I kindly ask, why these links can not be on the "More information" link page?

Somehow didn't get any notifications about your kind reply.
Doesn't have to be HTML indeed.

However, multiple links would look nicer. I.e. "multiple link support". Wiki markup would be great. I shouldn't have said "HTML". Should have said.

Therefore, could you please allow mediawiki markup in message MediaWiki:Cookiewarning-info system message?

It isn't crucially important. And I cannot strengthen my argument with some legal point either. :)

For example the page footer on this page is:

Wikimedia Foundation · Privacy Policy · Code of Conduct · Terms of Use · Disclaimer · CC-BY-SA · GPL

All of these links are separate clickable. Quite comfortable, professional, nice. Sure, clicking "more information" to be then presented the other links would be OK too but multiple links are nicer.
