This affects the rendering of the Bootloader section (GRUB) of the AMD64 Handbook: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Bootloader#Install Looks like it was specifically this merge unstream that fixed the issue: https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/pull/1248 It is mentioned as being fixed on this page: https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki_2.4.0 (search for #1248) I also wrote a short snippet about this as a 2017 goal for the Handbook project: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Wiki#Plugin_updates It would be nice to get our MW Extensions up-to-date (if we can safely do so). I'd also like to see the translations Extension updated because it is causing problem for one of our translators, but that can be a separate bug. :)

Increasing the importance of this bug because it is a blocker to anyone installing Gentoo (especially first-time installs). Hate to see us lose potential new users after getting exposure to them via FOSDEM 2017. Seems like a few new users already encountered a related problem: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1058952.html Linking the bug under "See also".
*** Bug 609328 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
My bug report has been closed as a duplicate of this bug (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609328). However, apart from the rendering error grub-install --target=x86 64-efi --efi-directory=/boot should read: grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot I also noted a few extra thngs regarding that section in the handbook. The manual never mounts /boot as fat32. The examples seem to suggest to use /boot/efi as the mount point for the fat32 partition. So, the command should really read: grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi /dev/sda It would be nice to also mention how to install grub so that the user can boot with both Legacy BIOS and UEFI. The command sequence should be: grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi /dev/sda grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda Should I create a seperate bug report?
I have been able to work around this problem my creating a "Text" datatype Property for the offending Handbook parameter. Lowering the priority of this bug down to normal. It would still be nice to have the SMW extension updated, but it installs are no longer broken. WRT Vieri's comment above, please do not open another bug. All Handbook specific requests/changes should be added to associated discussion pages on the wiki.
This will be part of the main wiki update to 1.30.1
After wiki updates SMW is now version 3.0.0. This bug is now resolved.
