:::About this template, do you think you could make your bot to remove the ''space'' template from all pages (it is only in "credit" pages) and replace it by a ''<nowiki><br></nowiki>''?

Hi there just to tell you there was a user called Varan who spammed up my wiki so if user joins and is called Varan look at his edits as he does spam.Pokeman223 18:04, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

All right. Chances are he will not come here though. The Solar Dragon 18:28, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

"Space" Template

Hi, Solar. I think something may be up with the "Space" template ( {_{Space|(number)}_} -- underscores inserted to keep from making an actual template here). Could you please have a look at Homer Goes to College/Credits? Thanks and happy weekend to you! -- Mythigator 02:47, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I had a look at the template and didn't understand it at all. You may want to ask on Community Central forums if they can help. Also, if you don't want to use the template but just show it, use <nowiki></nowiki> as these stop any wiki code from working. The Solar Dragon 06:44, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
I didn't understand it either! :-) I think the idea is to be able to put multiple names on the same line and have them evenly spaced out horizontally, but something in the template really messes up how the names get displayed on the page. I'll have a couple more goes at that page and see if I can get it to look right either with or without the {{Space|(5)}} templates. And thanks for the "nowiki" tag tip! -- Mythigator 08:25, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

About this template, do you think you could make your bot to remove the space template from all pages (it is only in "credit" pages) and replace it by a <br>? Like you did with the gray word, your bot replaced it by the grey word. The problem with the space template is it makes sentences to look like in preformatted text (like using <pre>), which looks bad. — TheHomer (TalkContributions) 18:00, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
Replacing the space template with <br> would work (I tried it on the "Homer Goes to College" credits). The actual text of the template is {{Space|5}}. It should be a pretty straightforward search-and-replace operation, so siccing the bot on it sounds like a good idea. -- Mythigator 18:57, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
