Invoking tag without anonymous parameter
Hi, It look that invoking an XML-like extention with the #tag syntax but wihtout anonymous parameter is wrong. I made a test on the OpenStreetMap wiki (see ) with the folowing code and I got errors. But the following code (with an empty anonymous parameter) seems good (see ).

If the bug is from mediawiki, maybe it should be interresting to warn the users. FrViPofm 17:13, 31 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Why do you consider it a bug?


 * produces

&lt; tagname parameter =" value "&gt; content &lt;/ tagname &gt;
 * In your first example, you were sticking lat=47.2553 in as the content. Maybe it should be interesting to use it properly ^_^. Splarka 07:39, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Because the syntax  is widely used for passing named parameters, it is strange to find it as anonymous parameter, and IMHO it is not consistent with the use of templates where we can find  FrViPofm 08:38, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, it isn't "anonymous", it is just that the first parameter after the name is aways the content for #tag. Your use case happens to require it to be blank. That isn't buggy. Splarka 07:04, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

If I am not mistaken, this tag is no longer Expensive because of the schema changes made in 1.14 or 1.15. (Rob Church?)

If someone who knows better than I do agrees with my analysis, can you please remove that tag from the entry on this page?

Cheers!
