Problem

All modes produce invalid code (except mode='userformat').

Example:

  category=some_cat
  mode=unordered
  randomcount=3

produces:

  • <html><a href="/wikiname/index.php/Article1" title="Article1">Article1</a></html>
  • <html><a href="/wikiname/index.php/Article2" title="Article2">Article2</a></html>
  • <html><a href="/wikiname/index.php/Article3" title="Article3">Article3</a></html>

Obviously MW is undergoing another change in its internal structure. I am afraid DPL will have to be changed accordingly. Right now I do not have time for investigations. It would be very helpful if somebody could give details on the nature of change and the consequences for extensions like DPL which use MW interfaces.

I may be able to get DPL running on the latest stable version of MW if somebody could provide details on what the change is and how to cope with it. Last time when something like this happened it was quite a painful process ....

And probably there will be another version incompatibilty - meaning that the modified DPL version will not run on MW versions below 1.16....
