Can't seem to get the Wiki codes to work

[JazHaz]

The BBCode [wiki] codes don't seem to work any more, at least I can't seem to get them working.

EG: [wiki]User:JazHaz[/wiki]

Yeah, though it works fine for other Wiki pages - [wiki]Green_Gecko[/wiki], for example - so maybe it's only User pages.

Not just user pages. I've been noticing this issue for a while, generally whenever I try to use it, it doesn't work! grrr!

As the gastroenterologist said, the problem is probably in the colon ... : isn't a URL-safe character, and unfortunately, encoding it doesn't seem to work either:
[wiki]User%3AJazHaz[/wiki]

You can just use the URL tags, though:
User:JazHaz

User:JazHaz

And for the icing on the cake, you can put the Wiki icon in front of it manually:
User:JazHaz

Looks just like the original.

This is achieved by

Code: Select all

[url=http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/User:JazHaz][img]https://bb.oolite.space/images/elitewikismall.png[/img] User:JazHaz[/url]

By the way: the same colon prevents category-pages from working with the [wiki]-tag. Also the '#' prevents it from working, which means that you can't link to internal links on a page. In all those cases the above workaround works, however, and gives the appearance of a [wiki]-tag.
