Could someone please take a look at tardis:MediaWiki:Successfulupload, or indeed the same page on your own wiki) and explain to me how to create a link in these messages that don't allow standard wiki markup?  I know that it's sometimes possible to use the HTML tag, but in this case it doesn't work.  Are there any workarounds when both standard wikicode and HTML syntax don't produce a viable link?

Here's what happened at Special:MultipleUpload when it tried to display the message with HTML linkage. It's in caps because it's using the standard  class, which is in caps on our wiki.

 * I don't know. There are simply some MediaWiki messages that don't accept wikicode.  This is one of them.  00:21: Wed 25 Jan 2012


 * Hmmm, this might need use of tardis:Special:Contact/general. You could try making a tardis:MediaWiki:CopyrightTagsLink page with  in it and then put   where the link should go on tardis:MediaWiki:Successfulupload and see if that works.
 * The last resort would be Javascript, but that seems like overkill and would slow down your wiki. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 24 Jan 2012 5:43 PM Pacific
