Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

Event Timeline

As a note, that line really needs to say that it's just Chromium that can't display it currently and that either way you need to add CSS for it still. Firefox and Safari have both been rocking MathML since 2011.

Yes, a dedicated page sounds nice with both those caveats in there.

When I updated the messages, I wanted to link to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math#Viewing_math, which is IMHO the place that explains it best (modulo being outdated). However, I was unsure how to add links to the i18n and qqq messages. @TheDJ Do you know if links to mediawiki.org (mw.o as I learned recently) are prevalent in other strings?

@Amire80 do you, by chance know what the best practice for this would be?
