Indentation of Stub templates
It looks like when you include something, that eats a single newline that's right after the include, if there is one. So doing: Here's this article's text! Is the same as: Here's this article's text! The templates page on meta doesn't seem to describe this. Maybe it is a bug. Putting two newlines after the include in the article or a line break (as Karlos did in stance) works. --Fyren 16:22, 17 October 2005 (EST)

Image loss
Somewhat random additional information: the image pages for the missing files still report a (sensible) file size, the web server reports a 404 for the URLs the wiki thinks the images are at, and most bizarrely, for broken images that have been replaced, the wiki simply loses the file name for the old, missing revision (see Image:Backfire.png, the dates are links to the images-- Melly's new image is there, the old 128x128 has no file name, the even older image is there). --Fyren 06:29, 22 October 2005 (EST)


 * I've uploaded Image:Backfire.png again and it seems to work. Some of the other ones that are reported as broken seem to be fine for me. I still have all of the images I uploaded the first time around so if anyone has an authoritative list of these I can re-upload them all. MartinLightbringer 13:37, 2 November 2005 (EST)


 * Very weird. For the links you removed in the article, the image pages are still messed but but the images are showing up in the articles, at least.  --Fyren 15:48, 2 November 2005 (EST)


 * I see that behavior now too (except for Sacrifice which is a new pic), and I'm sure that at the time, all of the image pages, the articles, and the direct links were not working. --Rezyk 17:30, 2 November 2005 (EST)

Search and uppercase
It seems that when searching for a item that contains more than one word (has a space in it or in adress a underscore) you need to have uppercase in the first letter of the word to get it up directly.

For example, searching for "restore condition" gives no direct hit, but "restore Condition" does.


 * That's just how the MediaWiki works. Titles are case sensitive after the first character.  If you're using the wiki's own search (as in, not the Google search in the navbar now), then searching works like how the navbar used to work when you clicked "search," which was different from hitting enter or clicking "go."  If you want to fiddle with the URL, you can add &go=go after the search term to get the "Go" button behavior.  Most searches will redirect to the actual page with it.  Stuff with mixed uppercase and lowercase (like Illusion of Weakness) still won't.  --Fyren 18:34, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Meta-type
You've got some typing errors here. My browser tries to download 1 in every 5 pages. [approx] &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 211.26.122.20 (talk &bull; contribs) 21:08, 19 June 2006 (CDT).


 * What do you mean by "meta-type"? What browser/os are you using? --Theeth (talk)   21:13, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I might be using the wrong term there. Windows XP / Firefox v1.5
 * It's been happening ever since I found out about the site, doesn't happen on any other sites [and wikis] I visit. The browser tries to download every few pages loaded. This would indicate the web server [or the wiki] is indicating the file is a type which should be downloaded.


 * The term I was looking for is MIME type. The type it's reporting [when it tries to get downloaded] is "application/octet-stream".211.26.48.108 04:24, 20 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I usually don't have this issue using WinXP + FF 1.5.0.4. On very rare occasions, I get this problem but it's always when server is having major connection issues. - 04:26, 20 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I get this on my desktop PC, but my laptop is fine. --Jamie [[Image:Jamie.jpg|24px|Here me ROOOARRR!!! (Talk Page)]] 04:27, 20 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I used to get it very often a while, but now I'm surprised if I get it once a day. Using Ubuntu 6.06/Firefox 1.5.0.4 &mdash; Galil  16:55, 20 June 2006 (CDT)


 * perhaps this is a firefox issue? i see nothing with XPSP2 + Mozilla 1.7.12 --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 17:17, 20 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Haven't had strange clientside issues of any type. Firefox 1.5.0.4 & XPSP2. --Tinarto [[Image:Tinarto-gold-Monk-icon-small.png]] 20:29, 20 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I had this for the first time ever just few seconds ago. I'm not sure if this was me, because I might have pushed a random button or two and caused it. (Using Opera, WinXP SP1) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 09:08, 22 June 2006 (CDT)


 * No MIME issues on either Debian with Firefox 1.5-1.5.0.2 or on WinXP (SP2) with Firefox 1.5-1.5.0.4. No issues with Lynx, either (*ducks*). &mdash; 130.58 (talk) ( 10:33, 23 June 2006 (CDT) )
