Help:Automatic conversion of wikitext/ru
Depending on the wikitext in the edit box, when clicking on "Опубликовать страницу" or "Опубликовать изменения" the wikitext may be automatically modified before saving. The result of this automatic conversion of wikitext (pre-save transform) is shown when pressing "Внесённые изменения". The rendering is shown with "Предварительный просмотр". The conversion does not display in the edit box (save and press Править again to see the result in the wikitext there).
Cases
The cases where wikitext is automatically converted include:
- Substitution
- Tildes:
~~~gives a signature without time or date~~~~~gives the time and date, e.g.08:56, 2 July 2010 (UTC)~~~~gives a full signature, i.e. it combines~~~and~~~~~
- Pipe trick
If such code is put in a template with the intention of being applied when the template is substituted, care should be taken to prevent premature conversion of wikitext (i.e., when the template is saved). One way is to put the split code inside the parameters of the parameterized template, for example:
{{{{{|safesubst:}}}CURRENTTIME}}{{{|~~}}}~~<nowiki>~~</nowiki>~~[[abc (def)|{{{|}}}]]
The last example is hardly useful, and just given to illustrate the analogy with the other two cases.
Another method is with <includeonly> tags.
Also, a template parameter can be used to control whether the conversion is applied when the template is substituted. For example, {{{{{subst1|}}}CURRENTTIME}} converts if the value of parameter subst1 is equal to subst: or safesubst:, and not if it is empty or undefined.
Limits
These automatic conversions of wikitext will not work within <ref>...</ref> and <gallery>...</gallery>.[1]
