Escaping of retrievedfrom message broke AutoNav on every page on Wikibooks
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Apparently now the MediaWiki:Retrievedfrom is being escaped, and this breaks the automatic navigation feature on Portuguese Wikibooks:
https://pt.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Retrievedfrom&oldid=251794&action=edit
Instead of the previous/next links for the chapters of our books, the readers now see a HTML string such as

<div class="printonly">Retrieved from "https://pt.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=SomeBook/SomeChapter&oldid=123456"</div>

That is the workaround for T17073: Create a way for handling meta-organization of books (which is a small piece of T17071: Wikibooks/Wikisource needs means to associate separate pages with books).

Can we find a better solution for you. Same as in, T86702, we can probably use full wikitext parser here and apologize though.

Yeah, probably parsing as wikitext is enough. We will just need to update our b:pt:Template:Navegação automática.
