Search feature in Firefox
The changes to the Wiki pages seem to hinder the search field in Firefox. In the field to the right of the adress bar, it's possible to add a certain Wiki to the list of search engines, allowing for a very quick and easy way to access articles on that Wiki. Because of the recent changes, I end up at the "template" version of an article instead of the article itself.

Here's an example of such a template: Template:Glyph_of_Swiftness


 * Skills aren't part of this program (well, that's what the page says). I'm using Firefox too, and when I enter Glyph of Swiftness in the search bar, I get Glyph of Swiftness, not the template page. I tried a few more, all worked as one would assume. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  13:46, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It's case-sensitive - try "glyph of swiftness" vs. "Glyph of Swiftness". The first goes to the template, the second to the main article.  I dunno why, but creating a Glyph of swiftness redirect will fix it.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 17:03, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, trying glyph of swiftness now won't work :P Thanks for clarifying that; I'm used to typing in capitals, so meh. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  17:11, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

The Search field in the GWiki toolbox on the left seems to return talkpages instead of their articles. Happened to me while trying to search for "disc of chaos." Also, usually linking in the format of "Talk:Disc_of_Chaos#Wikia_bug" was sufficient, but now it wouldn't work without the ".3F" in the end of the link, it only opened the talkpage, but didn't drop down to the specified section.

 * .3F is the ? in the header. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  19:21, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Make a redirect that is all lowercase for these mixed-case articles. -- ◄mendel► 19:41, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * But it knew to take me to the talkpage of the correct article... O_o And are you seriously suggesting to make a lowercase redirect for everything ever that has "of" or "the" in it because the pilot broke it? And would that actually fix the problem? I don't see how, but then again I don't know what the cause of the problem is. (Is it the pilot the broke it, anyway?  I guess it must be, never had this problem before.)

 * Look at the first occurance; it took him to the Template page of GoS, rather than the talk :P --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  21:29, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Exactly, meaning the whole thing is FUBAR. Fix the cause of the problem, not the symptoms.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 21:44, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It somehow doesn't prefer mainspace any more. So report it as a wikibug. -- ◄mendel► 04:59, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
