Inconsistency between wikitext and HTML... what a surprise.

UserloginTemplate expects its messages in HTML:

<?php $this->html( 'message' ); ?>

Whereas SpecialChangeEmail expects wikitext:

$this->getOutput()->wrapWikiMsg( "<p class='error'>\n$1\n</p>", $msg );

I guess we just change ChangeEmail to expect HTML, and officially make wrongpassword a HTML message.

sigh...

Adding many blockers of bug 38638 to the list of "easy" bugs, to mark them as candidates for [[mw:Google Code-in]] tasks (gci2013). If you think this bug is not suitable, remove the keyword.

I don't think that something should be changed here. The wiki markup for external references[1] can be used as an alternative for this message.

See comment 2, the message is used at two places in core, at the first place it is rendered as wikitext, at the other place the message is rendered as html, there is no way to create a message which is working in both cases, because the one render does not know about [], the other not about <a></a>.

See comment 2, the message is used at two places in core, at the first place
it
is rendered as wikitext, at the other place the message is rendered as html,
there is no way to create a message which is working in both cases, because
the
one render does not know about [], the other not about <a></a>.

Then the message must be split. It wouldn't be bad to also get SpecialChangeEmail to not use an HTML message though.

Language team prefers a new message, so rewrite the bug summary to document the fact. Resetting to NEW, because the existing patch is no longer useful.

Hmm, I wonder if this task is still valid/actual. Special:ChangeEmail seems to doesn't reuse wrongpassword anymore. As far as I know, Special:ChangeEmail should also use AuthManager's reauthentication feature to make sure, that an use is allowed to change his e-mail address. In case of a wrong password, the same message as for login should be used, which sounds correct.

So then can this task get closed as fixed?
