Upgraded a 1.39.4 to 1.40.0

When editing with the VisualEditor, category tags like [[Category:System]] are converted and saved as [[index.php?title=Kategori:System]]. This of course breaks the page categorising. It's possible to re-edit the page, re-categorise it and it works but it will break again on the next edit.

The WikiText editor does not exhibit this behaviour. It correctly handles the category tags.

Restored the 1.39.4 from backup and tried re-installing a few times, but the upgrade to 1.40.0 produces this unwanted behaviour all times.

Here's rest of the software versions.

Produkt	Version
MediaWiki	1.39.4
PHP	8.2.9 (cgi-fcgi)
MariaDB	10.10.2-MariaDB
ICU	71.1
Lua	5.1.5
Pygments	2.16.1

Browser used is Chrome Version 116.0.5845.110 (Officiell version) (arm64) on MacOS.

i got the same problem

Freshly installed yesterday and can confirm this very annoying behaviour

Experiencing the same issue. Any solution?

MediaWiki 1.40.1, VisualEditor 0.1.2, issue witnessed. We plan to update MW to latest soon to find out if that fixes it. I can't tell the VE version that appears in ME vs the VE version that is posted on these pages.

+1 on this issue. Very annoying.

Yup. can confirm and is very frustrating

Is the issue present in 1.41?

Yes, Issue still present in version 1.41.0. This is indeed very annoying.

MediaWiki 1.41.0, VisualEditor 0.1.2

Fresh installation, issue witnessed.

Try that workaround:

localsettings.php

$wgUsePathInfo= true;
