Hi All,

There are quite a few pages in the developer guide that display as blank. I believe this problem goes back to an upgrade that was done to the wiki.

After some recent testing I believe the issue is with a custom plugin of ours referred to as IDLTags. This plugin uses tags in the wiki like <idlmodule> and <idlm> to generate links back to the IDL documentation.

There was a page for it but it was removed in 2012 so I can't find more information on it.
I have no idea where the code for it is.

As this issue has a few birthdays now I propose a workaround to edit the affected pages and replace these tags with hard links to the IDL documentation.

We could comment the changes with [IDL WORKAROUND] or something so we could find them when the plugin problem is resolved.

If this seems reasonable I'll seek lazy consensus after this.

I've no clue what the root cause for the problem is nor how to (try to) fix it. So, I cannot add much help. However, your proposal sounds like a good starting point. Or maybe it is alredy the solution. Let's see.

Hi Marcus,

I've confirmed the idl tags are causing the pages to display blank.

I have went ahead and fixed this one [1] and noted the change with [IDL WORKAROUND] so we can find them later.
The problem links are way down in the Service Manager section.

These pages are too important for developers working on client apps and extensions ** like me ;) ** to leave them broken. As Peter noted, fixing the plugin would be better but this can be undone if that ever happens.

I'm going to seek lazy consensus for the remainder as there are quite a few broken pages.
