Talk:Established Standards: Item Pages

From TheKolWiki

this page be hella busted, yo'

This page's examples are causing conflicts with links to the subsections. Namely, they are trumping them. This even happens to the page's very own table of contents. Is this fixable? Specifically the "Uses" section through the "Collection" section, inclusive, are being trumped by their own examples for linking. --Flargen 18:33, 1 February 2008 (CST)

As an aside, I figure one could just rename the sections themselves to get rid of the collisions, but I didn't want to go around making changes to standards pages all willy-nilly. But maybe the table of contents code itself should be changed? I ended up bringing this up again when I noticed that the Mr. Sun Is Not Your Friend page was still producing an off-target link, even though Bagatelle had fixed the template's link. That itself is probably some other issue regarding how the wiki generates pages, though. In any case, it seems kind of pertinent to make a standards page not have off-target links. Especially links to itself.--Flargen 18:49, 1 February 2008 (CST)

This is gonna be the death of me. So each "real" heading now has two anchors. Not an elegant solution, but it (1) works with the TOC; (2) doesn't seem to break the links I did yesterday. If you find any more errors, feel free to mention them so I can commit suicide by headdesk... --Bagatelle 20:58, 1 February 2008 (CST)

I noticed you make a fix to this just after I had decided to mention it amongst other things to Quietust (me and my jumping the gun, I guess). Alas, unless somehow I have a browser cache issue here, the fix doesn't fix it. The references link in to TOC is still going to the example; the others are still mislinking, too. --Flargen 21:01, 1 February 2008 (CST)

Refs is workin' for me (links right to "A reference is incomplete unless it..."), so... I dunno. Format your harddrive? --Bagatelle 21:08, 1 February 2008 (CST)

Okay, so in a flash of not-dumb, I checked the page using Internet Explorer. As you claim, the links worked fine. However, in Opera (the browser I normally use), the links are still broken. I cleaned out Opera's cache and even told it to check for page changes on every load, too. Still borked. --Flargen 21:13, 1 February 2008 (CST)

• I'm sorry, but using IE is not not-dumb. --Bagatelle 21:21, 1 February 2008 (CST)
  • I think you missed the part where I said I normally don't use it. But that it works in that browser. Yet not in my main browser. Anecdotal evidence in this case suggests it would be a supremely good idea to use IE, since then the wiki won't be all broke-headed baby on me. --Flargen 21:26, 1 February 2008 (CST)

I think a better solution might be found on the Established Standards: Effect Pages, which from outer apperances would seem like it should give me the same collision problem with the Established Standards: Effect Pages#Obtained From section link, yet it doesn't. That one hardcodes the resulting example using a div tag, rather than try to have the wiki use its special codes. That page also uses spans to assign anchors, and uses that set-up a custom table of contents. Although if my experience is any indicator, the special anchors may be unnecessary. --Flargen 21:48, 1 February 2008 (CST)

• At that point, it's probably better for you to fiddle around with the page yourself on behalf of Opera users everywhere, as it'd be hard for me to try and fix a problem observed on your browser without my actually standing over your shoulder. And another stalking charge would not look good on my rap sheet. --Bagatelle 22:18, 3 February 2008 (CST)

Found and Resolved (presumably?)

See Template talk:Head#Not Functioning/Explained Properly. And the edit history for this page, I suppose. --Flargen 00:14, 4 February 2008 (CST)
