Interwiki links not displaying?

Summary by Trizek (WMF)

I recently was already slightly confused by the wording in this post by @Trizek (WMF) which seems to be, at least as it's displayed to me, "Have you tried to ?" - looked as if something after "tried to" was missing, but then I supposed it was meant as some general encouragement. But now, there's a post by @Reaper35 here where the first sentence reads "I just want to mention that on the German article (same as ) has as related page ." - that distinctly looks as if something's not displayed... "on the German article <missing wiklink to page?> (same as <missing wikilink?>) has a related page <missing wikilink?>"...

Having a look at the (convoluted) source code, it seems that Reaper35 was mentioning German Wikipedia's article de:Cracker (Gebäck), but this isn't displayed in my browser:

I just want to mention that on the German article \n\u003Clink rel=\"mw:PageProp/Language\" href=\"https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker%20(Geb%C3%A4ck)\" data-parsoid='{\"stx\":\"simple\",\"a\":{\"href\":\"https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker (Gebäck)\"},\"sa\":{\"href\":\"De:Cracker (Gebäck)\"},

Only by looking at the source code, I see now also that Trizek was referring to en:Wikipedia:Bypass your cache - well, it's not displayed in the browser. I'm using SeaMonkey 2.40 right now, but testing it in Internet Explorer as well, the issue seems to persist.

This issue is pretty different than the other one. In this case the message was written with a bad syntax (for interwiki links instead of plain links), so it was badly displayed.

PS: in French, general typography is to put a space before « ? ! : », at the contrary of English, so probably a French/English typo in Trizek’s message :-)

My case is a bad wikisyntax displaying, I've edited the post to display the interwiki link correctly.

That was supposed to be fixed: is a regression., thank you very much for your report, @Gestumblindi!
