: This is going to require a massive site-wide effort for all supported languages. See [[Help:GeSHi]] for details. As soon as we're confident most of the pages have been handled, I'll disable support for <nowiki>&lt;lang&gt;</nowiki> entirely. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 02:33, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

:: When the <nowiki><lang></nowiki> tags are removed, [[Special:Version]] will not any more list all the languages in the tags section, right? Maybe there should be a (perhaps auto-generated) page listing all supported languages (or maybe it's even possible to include them in [[Special:Version]] as separate section). Or maybe there's already such a list somewhere, which I simply didn't notice? --[[User:Ce|Ce]] 08:18, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

::: Another problem I just noticed: The old meaning of <nowiki><code>text</code></nowiki> is now changed (it now creates a div block instead of inline text). Those tags might have been used already in this wiki. Maybe it would have been a better idea to use a tag which didn't yet have a meaning (say, <nowiki><source></nowiki>). I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to change the GeSHi tag now, or to find and change all previous usages of <nowiki><code></nowiki> instead. --[[User:Ce|Ce]] 08:50, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
