Parse wikitext in MediaWiki:Lastmodifiedat
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

HTML is no longer rendered in MediaWiki:Lastmodifiedat after the last update (1.24wmf14). Some wikis use this message to add links to external utilities like stats.grok.se, see n:pl:MediaWiki:Lastmodifiedat.

https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Lastmodifiedat&oldid=23775446 was also affected. This customization was for informing the timezone (UTC) of the wiki and giving links to explain further.

Ugh, obviously I should have checked for this and give time to fix these. Nevertheless, we should migrate away from raw html. I think that if we allow using wikitext here, most if not all of the linked examples can be re-implemented.

I think it's good to avoid HTML in this message (shown on every single page) before its usage spreads further (similar to MediaWiki:Copyright which has become practically unfixable). Let's parse wikitext here and then inform (+ apologise to) all affected wikis.

@Jackmcbarn, I see you deleted the message on some of the affected wikis, do you know how many are left? I see about 120 which created this page, but most of them are old translations in need of deletion.

No idea.
