Special pretitles messing with recent events lines

Postby The Unified Missourtama States » Mon Nov 08, 2021 5:08 pm

While looking at the recent events on the World Assembly page, I noticed one very strange happenings line (link to screenshot):

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... scrazy.png

The line had the nation article ("the") as the link to the nation, and the nation's pretitle was a link to a region of the same name as the nation, and the nation's actual name did not have any link. Here is the exact HTML, so you can better understand if the picture didn't quite get it:

<li><time datetime="2021-11-08 17:14:36+0000" data-epoch="1636391676" title="11/8/2021, 11:14:36 AM CST">6 hours ago</time>: <a href="nation=vincent_drake" class="nlink"><img src="/images/flags/uploads/vincent_drake__617097t2.jpg" class="miniflag" alt=""><span class="nnameblock"><span class="ntype">The </span></span></a><a href="region=vincent_drake" class="rlink">Vincent drake</a> of <span class="nname">Vincent Drake</span> became the Delegate for <a href="region=trovons" class="rlink">Trovons</a>.
</li>


What is causing it is quite obvious (I think). The nation's unique pretitle, "%%Vincent Drake%%."

This isn't that big of an issue in its one instance (actually fun to see!), but will definitely be a pain in the ass once people see it and start using it everywhere, ruining happenings feeds.

Could the admin please fix this?

This has been addressed already.

It became a runaway meme trend when some r/d players discovered it could be done. It has since been prevented from being placed in any new pretitles, but persists on some nations that had it before then.
