Also, all the original a tag attributes need to be preserved, so that I can e.g. hover a language name and see the link in the status bar as well as the localised language name in the hover text.

Fix for bug 64797 - set href for langlinks

Is this for the language links in the compact links or for the all the language links displayed in ULS panel?

(In reply to Santhosh Thottingal from comment #3)
Is this for the language links in the compact links or for the all the
language links displayed in ULS panel?
For all the links in the ULS panel. The bug description is incorrect, the panel links are already <a> elements, but they need an href attribute to allow them to be opened in a new tab.

The compact language links on side bar is still broken as it isn't possible to open them in new tab. Please review the patch:

To make badges ([[m:Wikidata/Development/Badges]]) work, however, preserving the <li> elements would also be needed (confirmed by Bene*): is that within the scope of this bug, or something to file separately?

All patches mentioned in this report were merged or abandoned - is there more work left to do here (if yes: please reset the bug report status to NEW or ASSIGNED), or can you close this ticket as RESOLVED FIXED?
Comment Actions
Removing from MW-1.24-release because this isn't going to be fixed in the next few months' worth of security point releases.

Looks good now I think: I can
- see badges in the sidebar (though not in the ULS panel),
- right click links in the ULS panel to open them in new tabs etc.,
- hover links in the ULS panel to see them in the status bar.
Better file additional issues separately.
