In firefox

Hi, according to User:Hadžija [1], there seems to be a problem viewing the template Roman emperors in firefox when this template is used. Could someone check this and correct the bug? Thanks, Madhava 1947 (talk) 10:41, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I took a look at this and found the problem was already fixed. As per this diff, the problem was solved by changing: [[Augustus]] {{·}}[[Tiberius]] {{·}}[[Caligula]] to: [[Augustus]] {{·}} [[Tiberius]] {{·}} [[Caligula]] As per the documentation for Template:·: The template prefixes the bold middot separator with a non-breaking space ( ) so {{·}} is meant to be suffixed to each item, i.e. without a space between it and the preceeding item in the list, as shown below. This prevents the separator being linewrapped to the starts of lines. [[Augustus]]{{·}} [[Tiberius]]{{·}} [[Caligula]] -- Zyxw 10:35, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, there were still some problems viewing it in Firefox. So I fixed the lists in the template that misbehaved the worst. I used the new fix we have for this problem: I used {{nowrap begin}} and its kit of "helper templates". --David Göthberg 22:10, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

User:Usbk/DB

Java7837 is trying to use {{Navbox generic}} in his navigation template in user space (User:Usbk/DB, but it automatically adds the prefix "Template:" to the "v", "e", and "d" links. Is there any way to correct this? - Mike Rosoft 19:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

As with the section #Error:Stripping namespace above, {{Navbox generic}} does not support templates outside template space, and really shouldn't in my opinion. The easiest solution is to move it to template space, but it can always be converted, with some work, into code that manually makes the v•d•e links. I'll inquire on his user page as to the actual usefulness this template. –Pomte 19:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I applied another easy solution instead: Added "|navbar = plain" so the "v • d • e" links don't show. --David Göthberg 23:40, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
