Details edit

Override ability of certain browsers to attempt to autodetect dataformats in pages. This is a default feature of many mobile browsers, but can have a lot of false positives, where for instance year ranges are confused with phone numbers. The default of this setting is to disable telephone number data detection. Set $wgBrowserFormatDetection to false to fallback to browser defaults.

Output edit

If $wgBrowserFormatDetection is not explicitly set to false, the following line will be added to the HTML <head> section of all pages by OutputPage.php :

<meta name="format-detection" content="$wgBrowserFormatDetection"/>
