Hi All,
There are quite a few pages in the developer guide that display as
blank.
I believe this problem goes back to an upgrade that was done to the
wiki.
After some recent testing I believe the issue is with a custom plugin
of ours referred to as IDLTags.
This plugin uses tags in the wiki like <idlmodule> and <idlm> to
generate links back to the IDL documentation.
There was a page for it but it was removed in 2012 so I can't find
more information on it.
I have no idea where the code for it is.
As this issue has a few birthdays now I propose a workaround to edit
the affected pages and replace these tags with hard links to the IDL
documentation.
We could comment the changes with [IDL WORKAROUND] or something so we
could find them when the plugin problem is resolved.
If this seems reasonable I'll seek lazy consensus after this.
I've no clue what the root cause for the problem is nor how to (try
to) fix it. So, I cannot add much help. However, your proposal sounds
like a good starting point. Or maybe it is alredy the solution. Let's
see.

Hi Marcus,
I've confirmed the idl tags are causing the pages to display blank.
I have went ahead and fixed this one [1] and noted the change with [IDL
WORKAROUND] so we can find them later.
The problem links are way down in the Service Manager section.
These pages are too important for developers working on client apps and
extensions ** like me ;) ** to leave them broken.
As Peter noted, fixing the plugin would be better but this can be
undone
if that ever happens.
I'm going to seek lazy consensus for the remainder as there are quite a
few broken pages.

Carl;
I see how you marked up the links, what I do not see is the tag [IDL
WORKAROUND], are you sure you added it to the page. I can create a pair
of templates that can be used to add the start and end of the work
around. I can also help with the editing.
Regards
Keith
Hi Keith,
Thanks for the offer to help.
The tag generated links are all over the pages. I added [IDL
WORKAROUND] to the summary comment when I saved the page.
Now that you mention it, it may not be easy to find them.
Since I know the <idl> tag still works I'm going to revert that part
of the change.
I would like to find the code for extension before I edit anymore.
So far I have found this page [1] that shows the IDL Tags extension
that is installed but the page it links to was deleted [2].
If I can get the code from the MWIKI server and look at the <idlm> and
<idls> PHP code and maybe fix it there.
I think I'll work on getting karma to the mwiki server so I can look
at it the code.
But since I'm not familiar enough with administration of the wiki
server I'm not going to attempt anything directly there.
I'm going to try another test with the tags and see if there may be a
less intrusive edit.

I have replaced all the original <idl> tags since they are okay and
replaced only one <idlm> and one <idls> tag.
The diff between the original and the update is here [1]:
