If we try to make an edit in a talk page and try to add tildes ~~~~ manually, it will not show the username information in the endpoint correctly.
https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/transform/wikitext/to/mobile-html/User_talk:Cooltey
What happens?:
It will show the plain text of ~~~~ in the response.
What should have happened instead?:
It should show the corresponding username information: Cooltey (talk) 21:49, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
@cooltey: Assuming this task is about the Page Content Service code project, hence adding that project tag so other people who don't know or don't care about team tags can also find this task when searching via projects. Please set appropriate project tags when possible. Thanks!
After some investigation it looks like:
This ticket looks like its invalid now. @cooltey feel free to re-open if its still an issue
Hi @Jgiannelos
This ticket is about the wikitext/to/mobile-html, which is being used in the edit preview screen in the app.
I still can reproduce the issue.
I'm having problems doing this via the OpenAPI page at https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/ and also by way of a manual curl with -d '{"wikitext": "~~~~"}' (HyperSwitch is griping about data.body lacking a wikitext property even though I've tried various incantations). Anyone able to share a functioning curl example to reproduce? I'm sure I'm missing something simple, sorry!
Separately, I'm checking with Jazmin on product need for this now that we're using a GUI for talk pages in the apps, and have been generally orienting this way on the web, too.
Nevermind, I just needed more ☕. Here's what I did:
curl -X 'POST' \
'https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/transform/wikitext/to/mobile-html/Main_Page' \
-H 'accept: text/html; charset=utf-8; profile="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Specs/Mobile-HTML/1.0.0"' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"wikitext": "~~~~"}'produced this:

I was checking just to see if there were any obvious tells in the response, but no, it seems to be coming back in a standard fare <p> tag (which is sort of what one would have expected based on the screenshot).
