MediaWiki bug has been around for so long that I thought it was feature

[Bbb23sucks]

I have been recently been working on a private wiki to document Wikipedia corruption, and I noticed that certain tags would not have subst: applied within them. This was actually quite useful to me, but it turns out that this is actually a major bug that has not been fixed since... 2005!?!

Not sure why this needs triage now. It's a long standing broken part of the system, which should have been fixed a long time ago. If the foundation can't fix it in 14 years, and with, I suppose, about $1bn to spent, I despair of having anythung useful done. Certainly lowering the priority won't help, and raising it seems unlikely to either.

Actually David's wrong. This bug is seven not six years old. If its not fixed
soon we'll have to figure out who's going to pay for it to go to college...

That's still a good 11 years away. We're cross that bridge when we come to it.

That comment will be 11 years old in three weeks.

I don't know anything about bbb and they seem like a generic rule enforcer

Due to a lack of interest in this particular administrator, I'm not willing to help with this project. Not that you requested it, but just saying. Best of luck if you are correct, but I need to focus on other things atm
