Flow board links
Linker knows that an empty Flow board doesn't exist, so it adds  to the URL and and shows it as a redlink. But  is invalid for a Flow board and currently throws an exception.


 * Talk:Sparrow (sandbox for testing at Wikimania) – now has content
 * Non-existent page No such page
 * Talk:Flow

Test Hovercards (Popups) links

 * LQT pages:
 * LQT thread elements


 * Flow boards: Talk:Flow, Talk:Sandbox
 * [http: old-style link to Flow post on a board]
 * Topic:Rn84a4twefah0fic new style Topic: wiki link
 * new style Topic: wikilink with old UUID
 * see also Flow/Architecture/URLs

Bugs:
 * Hovercards don't work right for Flow boards
 * Flow board should show an icon indicating it's a Flow board
 * "Questa pagina di discussione è stata sostituita da una bacheca dei flussi." appeared for Talk:Sandbox
 * I disabled SVG support and image appeared misaligned

Test references
They work differently in Flow, and [http: Flow post]. Here:

Test images


Compare with http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Topic:Rylar2mda6g0d4fz.
 * If you edit your Flow post you can see the Flow image adds a  parameter,.
 * It doesn't have the magnify icon.
 * The bottom of the image frame is clipped.

The weird link parameter
Regular Ascii link parameter.

Parsoid's generated link parameter doesn't even display properly. Here are the contents of that topic:

Where did the "link" parameter come from? It doesn't work well in wikitext, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:S_Page_%28WMF%29#Test_images

Just the image with the special characters.

Another image with accented characters, but not at the start.

Image border clipping
In Parsoid output, this is missing a lower margin, {{bug}69157}}.

welcomecreation -> welcomecreation-msg change

 * TODO add a note about this to RELEASE-NOTES.1.21

(see wikitech-l mailing list thread of December 4, 2012)

made the title of the page you see on account creation "Welcome, Username". To make this fix I split the welcomecreation message into two messages:
 * welcomeuser
 * 'Welcome, $1!' &mdash; the new title of the page


 * welcomecreation-msg
 * "'Your account has been created. Do not forget to change your preferences.'

and this change is live on WMF wikis running 1.21wmf5.

The subpage /welcomecreation messages lists all these messages that exist (on 205 wikis!)

I suspect some of these messages may replicate what's already in the default message.
 * welcomeuser translations on TranslateWiki
 * welcomecreation-msgwelcomeuser translations on TranslateWiki

On wikis that have customized the MediaWiki:welcomecreation message and want to preserve the customization, an admin may need to
 * 1) move it to MediaWiki:welcomecreation-msg (without leaving a redirect)
 * 2) remove the "== Welcome, $1==" heading line from welcomecreation-msg
 * 3) log out and create a dummy account to see if it works

IRC cloak request
This IRC/Cloaks stuff is quite obscure. I'm spagewmf on IRC, somehow this can make me appear as ~spage@wikimedia/spage ??
