Page text: disable conversion of HTML links to HTML entities

I have an old Mediawiki site (1.6.x) and I need to upgrade it to 1.31. This site has many pages and many of them have text with html links in the HTML format such as:

<a href="/index.php?title=My_PAGE">Text</a>

I am able to upgrade its database to 1.31. However, in display, the above html links are converted to

&lt;a href="/index.php?title=My_PAGE"&gt;TEXT&lt;/a&gt;

How can I prevent Mediawiki (1.31.x) from performing the above conversion?

I am uncertain presently how to prevent MediaWiki from changing your code, but a possible solution would be to use this

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Replace_Text

after the upgrade to replace < with < and > with >

Thanks for chiming in! Do you mean replace '<' or '>' in database? '<a href="/index.php?title=My_PAGE">Text</a>' is stored in the MySQL database. No '<' or '>' is stored.

Unable to find a method, I simply added the following two lines in public function execute() of ExampleTemplate.php

    $html = str_replace('&lt;', '<', $html);

    $html = str_replace('&gt;', '>', $html);

Please let me know if you know a better way.

This is dangerous as this enables full html capabilities for everyone who can edit the wiki.
