Details here. Please list any issues you see below: Nicjansma (talk) 19:19, 13 December 2014 (PST)

• I noticed a couple things: 1) The table of contents box on any given page is stretched across the width of the page 2) The edit boxes (i.e. [edit] ) are adjacent to the headers, not over on the right as they were before. I don't know if it matters, but it's different. -BobTheZombie (talk) 20:50, 13 December 2014 (PST)

Yep the contents box is very stretched, please fix this Nic.--Doneve (talk) 08:14, 14 December 2014 (PST)

1) Should be fixed. Nicjansma (talk) 08:16, 14 December 2014 (PST)

2) Looks like this is new with MW v1.22. I'm OK with it, unless there is feedback from others. Nicjansma (talk) 08:16, 14 December 2014 (PST)

• Found another issue, the text in the image summary template on any files is floated to the left and is not in center.--Doneve (talk) 08:27, 14 December 2014 (PST)

Hm, I'm not seeing that. Can you share an example page, or screenshot? Nicjansma (talk) 12:40, 14 December 2014 (PST)

I think he means the text in the box under images on their image page (e.g. ) this one are formatted differently (the text is to the left and the {fairuse} is to the right). At least that's all I noticed that was different. -BobTheZombie (talk) 19:04, 14 December 2014 (PST)

Thanks Bob, you hit the nail.--Doneve (talk) 03:06, 15 December 2014 (PST)

So I see the rows Summary, Artist and Source being left-aligned, which I think is appropriate -- were they centered before? The License row has a {fairuse} template that takes 95% width (centered). I personally think it looks fine? Nicjansma (talk) 07:15, 17 December 2014 (PST)

• Nic - I'm liking some of the new aesthetics!

So in the past, when you started typing something into the search box on the left, potential results would begin popping up. I kinda liked that feature. Any chance we could get it back? ClanWolverine101 (talk) 07:12, 16 December 2014 (PST)

Yes, it seems as if the autocomplete is broken... again. It's something with a cache issue that Nic has to fix. This has happened a few times when the site has been updated in the past. -BobTheZombie (talk) 14:31, 16 December 2014 (PST)

The "left" search box (if you're on desktop and you get the left bar) should've been working. Let me know if not. The top search box (if you're on tablet or mobile) had a bug with auto-suggest, and should be fixed now. Nicjansma (talk) 07:12, 17 December 2014 (PST)

Yes, it seems to be working now. Sometimes it's a little slow, but the suggestions are an improvement for when you misspell things. I feel that it is kinda off in the suggestions sometimes, but it's an improvement. -BobTheZombie (talk) 11:42, 18 December 2014 (PST)

Working now. Great stuff!

• New question - when you click Recent Changes, it used to bold the edits the logged-in user had performed. Seems this isn't the case anymore? ClanWolverine101 (talk) 13:22, 18 December 2014 (PST)
• On the "Recent changes" special page, my Watched articles are no longer highlighted in bold, nor are changes to my talk page etc. (Win7, Mozilla Firefox 34.0.5). Frabby (talk) 08:48, 18 December 2014 (PST)

I noticed that too. I didn't know if others cared that it was changed. It might be helpful to continue the bolding... -BobTheZombie (talk) 11:42, 18 December 2014 (PST)

• I noticed that the "new user welcome message bot" has stopped adding welcome messages to new registered users (e.g. User:CarcerKango). I'm not sure if this is related to the update. -BobTheZombie (talk) 11:42, 18 December 2014 (PST)

I found that the 'New User Message' user was blocked (in 2003), and I think the new NewUserMessage extension verified the user wasn't blocked before posting. I unblocked the user, which should fix it now. Nicjansma (talk) 17:07, 20 December 2014 (PST)

• Yet another thing, all of the "thumb"-sized images are huge compared to what they were previously. This is especially noticeable on the Jump Infantry page. -BobTheZombie (talk) 15:21, 19 December 2014 (PST)

Are you sure the infantry image is supposed to be much smaller, or do you remember what size it was before? I didn't change anything specific here, but maybe MW changed the defaults at some point for thumbnail sizes? Nicjansma (talk) 17:07, 20 December 2014 (PST)

I remember having to resize that in the past, but it is also noticeable in every page with a |thumb| sized image, e.g. Conrad Toyama. Whether or not you manually did it, something has changed, and it has resulted in occasionally huge images. Either the images are bigger or the text is smaller, which I think also might have changed... -BobTheZombie (talk) 18:33, 20 December 2014 (PST)

• Another thing; this page seems to be down. I use it a lot, and it'd be nice to be able to access it again. -BobTheZombie (talk)

Looks like it was removed from core and moved to Extension:Disambiguator. Installed, but it doesn't appear to be working? Special:DisambiguationPageLinks. Nicjansma (talk) 20:28, 20 December 2014 (PST)

• New problem. There's a minor formatting glitch that only appears on my smartphone but not on a computer. Text formatted with a bullet (asterisk in wikicode) like this one or the Wunderwelten article is displayed with a double space between lines on a smartphone. This does not happen with regular article text, and doesn't happen at all on my laptop computer. Frabby (talk) 02:47, 21 December 2014 (PST)

Note, I've disabled the use of MediaWiki:Common.js and MediaWiki:Common.css. These pages allowed editors to change the site's JS and CSS on the fly by editing a Wiki page. I'd prefer to own all of these changes, as they will affect all visitors. Otherwise, these files could break the site, or worse, expose security vulnerabilities. If you need anything specific in one of these files, please let me know. Nicjansma (talk) 20:28, 20 December 2014 (PST)

Marik Skin

Nic, i use the Marik Skin in the preferences, but the skin don't work after your css changes, can you take a look, thanks.--Doneve (talk) 01:23, 21 December 2014 (PST)
