Description

Author: psychonaut

Description:
Links of the form [news:foo.bar.baz] are not translated correctly from wiki markup to HTML. The resulting URL should be simply news:foo.bar.baz, but MediaWiki instead converts it to news://foo.bar.baz/. This means that links to Usenet newsgroups and messages on Wikipedia, etc., are broken.

See RFC 1738 for the news: URI scheme specification.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
