== Bug in interpreting certain characters in change comments ==

I edited the Intervals table for 84edo to add links to the intervals, by copying the Wiki source for the section to a text file on my computer, using the "sed" command on it to do the actual editing (took less time to learn to use "sed" than to do all that by hand), and then copying the output file back into the article section. Then I decided to paste the command into the change comment so that people could see what I did to repeat it for themselves on other tables (if they have Unixoid operating systems or at least the command sets thereof). First, here is the full "sed" command:

<code>sed -E "s#[0-9]*/[0-9]*#\[\[&\]\]#g" 84EDO\ intervals.txt > 84EDOintervals.txt</code>

Instead of having the full unmodified "sed" command (as above) in the change comment, this produced the following strange result in the page history:

<code>curprev 2025-10-29T02:50:34 Lucius Chiaraviglio talk contribs 13,750 bytes +536 →Intervals: sed -E "s#[0-9]*/[0-9]*#<br>

Misplaced &<br>

\]#g" 84EDO\ intervals.txt > 84EDOintervals.txt undo<br></code>

This indicates that whatever processes the change comments (even after storage) doesn't treat everything you paste in as just literal text. To avoid having bad things happen, it should treat everything you paste into the change comment as literal text.
