Problems with bulleted link list in p&c editor. Link disappears.
On this page ( http://moksa-university.pbwiki.com/Ne... ) in my Wiki, the "Full Userinfo" link only STAYS a link if I use the classic editor. Whenever I used the point and click editor, whichever link is second last winds up losing its hyperlink. While I'm editing the page the link is there and displays fine, but as soon as I save it disappears. Switching the link around just made whatever new link was second-last turn into plain text. I tried turning off the bullets and a number of other formattings, but the second-last link continued to stay plain text until I switched to classic editor.
Obviously this can be gotten around, but I think it's a rather glaring problem for the p&c editor to not be saving your page the way you edit it when it comes to links.

Inappropriate?That's a weird issue that you're having. You mention on your wiki that you use Firefox, and when I tried this on my wiki, it worked fine. There's a super-slim possibility this is a Firefox extension messing with your wiki, but I don't want to just blame anything but us :)
Can you create another list, on a test page, where the links show up like that?
I’m puzzled

Inappropriate?I would suspect that too, except the Firefox I'm using right now doesn't have any extensions other than the ones it came with.
Sure thing! http://moksa-university.pbwiki.com/Er...
I’m being helped

Inappropriate?HMM. Looking at the source of the page, it has the a href link before each link that works, but in front of the "Full Userinfo" link, instead of that, it has an HTML comment that says < !-- javascript redacted -- >.
That's weird.
Also, at the bottom of that page it says there is some javascripts that have been blocked. I enabled them, but that didn't change the link to working. Are you using a plugin on the wiki that might be doing this? I don't know much about javascript (read: nada), but I hear it's finicky. And sometimes wonky. And that sounds like a more likely culprit than Firefox.
I’m generally a hunter or a bard.

Inappropriate?Nope! I've been editing all the pages as straight text. The only thing I can possibly think of that might've done it is that I copy and pasted a username from LiveJournal (lj_nifty, at the top there), and accidentally included the little icon that LJ sticks next to the links. But I'm pretty sure that only uses span, not any JS.
I’m confused

Inappropriate?Yeah, I don't know. I'm having someone else take a look right now. And the username icon person head thing doesn't show up, so you're good there.
-
Inappropriate?Alright, our new guy Mark, from Canada, figured it out.
The URLs you used in the last three links are being interpreted as javascript, because, and I quote, "the regex sees 'script' in one of the early URLs and sees '/script' in one of the later URLs and snips out everything between them."
He suggested using TinyURL (tinyurl.com) for those particular URLS, as that would probably work.
That probably also explains why the error was restricted to the one page, and why I couldn't reproduce it on my side.
I’m happy we have a Canadian in the office. So helpful.

Inappropriate?What are the odds? I'm Canadian too. XD And ah, stripping. I was wondering whether it might have been something like that. Duly noted, then! Thank you!
