Thread:Project:Support desk/Upgrading beyond 1.19 is causing errors with links

I upgraded from 1.17.0 to 1.20.3 and now some wiki links are not working. We have since upgraded to 1.19.4 but I want to use the Mobile Front End extension that needs the 1.20 or higher.


 * 1.17.0 site – everything worked
 * 1.19.4 site – now wiki.countingopinions.com (side nave works, Announcement inbox works)
 * 1.20.3 site – wiki120.countingopinions.com (side nav some links don't work, Announcement infobox links don't work – after a second attempt to install we lost the endashes)
 * 1.22alpha – wiki121.countingopinions.com (installed April 9, same errors as 1.20.3, but endashes work)

Side nav source code (working 1.17.0/1.19.4):

Side nav source code (not working – 1.20.3):

MediaWiki:Sidebar (text on page 1.20.3)
 * News
 * News:Announcements%7CAnnouncements (all text is a link)
 * Studies:Case Studies|Case Studies
 * News:Newsletters%7CNewsletters (all text is a link)
 * News:Upcoming Events|Upcoming Events (only News:Upcoming is linked)

Edit (1.20.3)
 * News
 * News:Announcements|Announcements
 * Studies:Case Studies|Case Studies
 * News:Newsletters|Newsletters
 * News:Upcoming Events|Upcoming Events

I have tried retyping on different computers with no luck.

Case Studies is the only work that links in this section (the links in other sections work fine, and there are more sidebar sections once someone is logged in).

The links in the "Announcement" infobox are also messed up in the 1.20.3 version, yet the DPL call on http://wiki120.countingopinions.com/...s:Case_Studies works as expected.
