== External links in templates ==
 
Hi, a few times now, we've put external links into templates and they haven't shown up or even counted as an element of the template. This happened before the upgrade so it isn't that. At first i thought it was specific to the table template but it's also happened for <nowiki>{{QuoteEx}}</nowiki> I have no idea what is causing this problem so could you look into it please?

== Bullet point error ==
 
Hi, when indenting bullet points with our appearance templates (see [[User:Solar Dragon/Sandbox|my sandbox]] for an example), we have two bullet points instead of an indent. Is there any way to fix this through normal means?

==Some things...==
 
Hi!<br>
 
The 404 page needs to be edited. The german site should be linked to Hauptseite instead of Main_Page, the swedish to Huvudsida and the chinese link should be removed.
 
Also in [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] in the languages section on the side, "Svenska" links to "Special:Senaste_ändringarna" but it should be "Special:Senaste_ändringar". Also in the section "På andra språk" on the sidebar in the swedish wiki, the chinese is still there, and I don't know how to delete it. Thanks!

== Connecting and disconnecting ==
 
 
 
I keep connecting and disconnecting from Wikisimpsons. So does Solar, possibly Will. Do you know what's happened? {{User:Randomno/sig2}} 04:41, 4 March 2012 (EST)

::I noticed the first problems around 1 am, and concluded that the downtime was caused by a power outage near our server's data center. I was able to confirm this by going to the power company's web site. The problem was resolved just after 2 am, at which time I went to sleep. Since then, there seem to have been several intermittent power outages. These power outages seem to be causing only network problems, as the server itself has remained online through all of them according to its [http://imageftw.com/uploads/20120304/power_outages.png network graphs]. (The four gaps are the power outages.) Hopefully we won't experience any more outages, but if we do, at least we'll know why. --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 08:46, 4 March 2012 (EST)

== Common.js ==
 
Hi, is there any way to clean up the [[MediaWiki:Common.js]] as the page is stretched out. Also, could we have the syntax highlighted as well? Thanks, <span style="text-shadow:2px 2px 2px gold; font-family:Elephant">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span> <span style="color:green">Dragon</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:black">Talk</span>]] <span style="color:white">'''•'''</span> [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Contribs.</span>]])</sup></span> 11:35, 6 March 2012 (EST)
 
:There's really no way to clean it up other than cutting out unused code. I don't really see that as much of a problem though, as those pages are really only used by people who know what they're doing with Javascript. As for syntax highlighting, I don't really think it's possible. If you want the benefits of syntax highlighting, I'd recommend editing the JS in a proper editor on your computer and then transferring it back over to the wiki. --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 15:27, 6 March 2012 (EST)
 
::I've seen other wikis highlight syntax [http://www.falloutwiki.com/MediaWiki:Common.js here for instance]. Plus, they have a scrollbar in the page to stop it stretching out too.
