Broken Wiki Pages

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.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

What is "the Wiki", why is it assumed everyone knows what it is, and why should we care?
ZylonBane's opinions do not represent those of the management.

You could click on the link in the first post and find out, you know.

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.
