Description:
(I'm a novice. This might be a WikiPedia problem rather than a WikiMedia problem.)
On "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3"
Using "Firefox version 3.6.13" or "Internet Explorer 8 version 8.0.6001.18702
Browse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Web_Accelerator
Scroll down to the bottom.
To the right of "Google Inc.", click [show]
Most of the info labels shown are links to WikiPedia articles.
BUT next to "Discontinued", "Web Accelerator" is NOT a link! It's just <strong> text
Click on the "e" to the left of "Google Inc." (of "v·d·e") to edit the Template.
Don't make any edits!
Scroll down and click the "Show Preview" button.
Click "[show]" on the Preview page
The "Web Accelerator" label is now a working link!
This means... the Preview correctly processes the source, but the Topic view does not?
The template source for this intended link is:
[[Google Web Accelerator|Web Accelerator]]
which looks just like the links that work, for example:
[[Google Page Creator|Page Creator]]
The same problem exists on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_markup
In the {{Wiki topics}} transclusion
Labels: Software · Wikitext · Interwiki links
Are they links: Yes No Yes
the source for this is
| group2 = Components |
| list2 = [[Wiki software|Software]]{{·}} [[Wiki markup|Wikitext]]{{·}} [[Interwiki links]] |
and again the source for the non-link looks just like the source for the links next to it.
