The real disturbing part is unlike when people copy Wikipedia's html into the edit box where it results in tell tale ?'s (Anime related articles, 99.99% of articles copied in my case will be using the nihongo template) and various other patterns, something copied html to rte looks almost perfectly fine when looking at it, up till you hit the edit button and see the mangled source. T_T RTE makes it easier for inexperienced people to do stupid things. ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://daniel.friesen.name] -- ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://daniel.friesen.name] _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
