Title: Broken Wiki Pages
Post by: Sandwich on December 17, 2003, 11:18:10 am

Simple enough. If you run across a page on the Wiki that's broken, post the link here.

Also, I'll try to look into the procedure for you guys to fix broken pages - it's basically a matter of reverting them to their previous working state, via the "Recent Changes" list. I'm just unsure about the permissions there... shouldn't be any restrictions, though.

What is "the Wiki", why is it assumed everyone knows what it is, and why should we care?

Great this thread get unstickied the day I need it :D

Anyway has anyone been noticing odd formatting on the wiki? When I go to look at it I get this.

I've got no explaination for why but it happens on 3 different computers I've tried it on and 2 different browsers (mozilla and IE) so I'm guessing it's probably not just me.

[color=cc9900]Well, according to the CSS of the Wiki, the width is something like 80ex. Which, in layman's terms, is 80 times the height of the letter 'x'. So that looks about right.[/color]

Any reason why it's so small?

[color=cc9900]Because the CSS has it set that way. Now, if someone had changed the font, or indeed the size of font, that might explain a reduction in the width.[/color]

Heh, I was wondering how long it would be before someone mentioned it. ;)

I changed it. Full-width text lines are hard to read compared to something reasonable, like 80ex (should have made it 60em probably). Anyway, considering all the content is just plain text, lists, and the like, it shouldn't mess anything up, and should make it much more readable.
