[edit] Commented-out sub-headings

Just came across a weird one. If you go to the article Age of Apocalypse, you will see that it is broken up into a number of subections: "Storyline", "Characters and affiliations", and "External Links". But if you click on the individual Edit button to edit the "Characters and affiliations", you get a funny little subsection entitled "Comics". A quick check of the entire article edit reveals that this whole subsection is commented out using HTML <!-- --> comments - but the individual Edit links are missing this fact, so the &Section=number part of the edit link is pointing to the wrong place. So, is the Village Pump the right place for a bug report like this? --Stormie 04:23, Apr 7, 2004 (UTC)

No, check the intro:

• To report bugs or suggest features, submit them to Sourceforge or MediaWiki.

However, I think this is a known bug, so no harm done. Dysprosia 05:55, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for that.. although I couldn't see anything like it in the buglist on Sourceforge, so I logged it there. --Stormie 07:10, Apr 7, 2004 (UTC)

The trick to make it work is to make sure the heading does not start the line anymore, as that seems to be what the wiki engine is parsing. Thus if the commented area starts like the following (without any linebreak in between) it works again. And I fixed the article accordingly already.andy 07:32, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

<!--===Disabled subsection-->

Note that even just a space is enough, so if a whole block is commented, you can put " ==Dis'd Hdr==" within that block and it won't break. - IMSoP 16:17, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Known bug, "section edit bug when headings are within comment brackets": [1]

[edit] Tenth Ann. section

I removed the "Also" at the beginning of the note about the X-Men Legends 2 game. Proper sentence structure doesn't start with "also"'s or "but"'s.

[edit] Continuity

Marvel Universe calls this a seperate continuity from Earth-616. If this is the case, then it should be made a bit clearer in the intro. I did a quick scan of the page, and couldn't see where it explained it's continuity status. If this isn't the case, can it please be removed from the continuity section in the Marvel Universe page? That section appears to imply each article it links to is a seperate continuity from Earth-616.

[edit] Read Order

I uploaded the suggested chronological read order for the first series, however, the list is quite long and suggestions for another way to display the read order would be appreciated.

I moved the read order to the bottom, just before External links, to make the article as a whole more readable. I also think the title of subtopic should be changed from "Read Order". I think something along the lines of "Chronology" would be better, though I'm not sure that specifically is appropriate (hence no change). LazerBeem 08:28, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] March 26, 2006

If this is a pain in the ass, please feel free to remove all my edits. I tend to edit as I work for wording and stuff. Here's some of the major changes.

• In the comic box I replaced listing each issue with a link to the list near the bottom of the page
• Changed entire article to present tense (I believe this is how you refer to things in print)
• Biggest edit is I started putting members in tables, but I couldn't complete it. I plan on continuing it later. Feel free to do this for me, or revert to the last saved version if you don't like it. --Torourkeus 21:55, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
• The storyline needs to be finished but I don't know enough! --Torourkeus 07:07, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
