    • Bug
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Major
    • None

    • User - User Profile
    • None

    Description

      The first and last names in the user profile are not escaped for xwiki syntax, so `~` are not displayed, and if a user has a name like `]][[` and `]] info [[`, the user profile section will be hidden. (the 2 names behave differently)

      The behavior is different when viewing as the user: (14.10 only)

      And as superadmin:

      The user can still edit the page using the regular edit button instead of the top-right edit button in the missing profile section.
