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)
