Description

When a pref has a help text, this text must not contain colons, because Tikis help system separates a help headline from body text with a colon. Unfortunately there are texts containing colons, and where they could not be easily avoided, for instance for the setting of namespace separators.

/templates/admin/include_general.tpl contains this:

Copy to clipboard
{preference name=namespace_indicator_in_structure}
					{preference name=feature_use_three_colon_centertag}
					{preference name=wiki_pagename_strip}
					{remarksbox type="note" title="{tr}Information{/tr}"}
						{tr}To use :: as a separator, you should also use ::: as the wiki center tag syntax{/tr}.<br/>
						{tr}Note: a conversion of :: to ::: for existing pages must be done manually{/tr}.<br/>
						{tr}If the page name display stripper conflicts with the namespace separator, the namespace is used and the page name display is not stripped.{/tr}
					{/remarksbox}


This results in a headline "To use " and body text ": as a separator, you should also use ::: as the wiki center tag syntax" which is destroying the crucial information. The number of colons is vital here! And it likewise affects all translations as well...
