the goal was to instead provide a new <syntaxhighlight /> like tag that works better for us, which would also handle producing the desired DOM entirely
<Mic92>
Now we need search and replace for the wiki
<samueldr>
but that requires playing about in the mediawiki configuration and plugins
<samueldr>
Mic92: search and replace what?
<Mic92>
samueldr: existing usages of syntaxhighlight
<samueldr>
and it's kinda of possible using the git plugin for mediawiki IIRC
<samueldr>
well, there are caveats
<samueldr>
I don't remember which
<Mic92>
samueldr: do you use this?
<samueldr>
no I don't
<samueldr>
but I remember others here having used it, not sure if it was successful though
<samueldr>
but yeah, using the {{file}} template has issues, but I don't remember which
<samueldr>
maybe escaping |
<samueldr>
since | is used to separate arguments in a template call site
<samueldr>
so that's why I was looking into implementing a <syntaxhighlight /> "replacement"

error: syntax error, unexpected '*', at (string):399:1
<samueldr>
ah, so the latter part I see
<samueldr>
I would suggest, when you implement it, to include the "list" (`* `) part of it in the template so we can change it to some other DOM as needed

i still think the last sentence fits the whole situation quite well: "With the migration of the old MediaWiki to the new MediaWiki the project went a full circle."
