Yes, it is ugly, isn't it? It's the top example from Template:WPBannerMeta/testcases shoved through Special:Expandtemplates - now I just have to work out where those <br>s are in the glut of code that I call {{WPBannerMeta}}, and I can launch a massive update... thanks for the fix - you have no idea how many times I hit "preview" trying to get rid of that gap!

That's good to know.
I wasn't actually aware of that =S

[edit] Thanks

Thank you for reverting the unconstructive edit that was recently done to the article on public policy (law). I've taken the liberty of putting a warning template on the user's talk page, so you don't have to. (If you intentionally refrained from warning the user, then I apologize for not ignoring the vandal.) Thanks again, and happy editing. Bwrs (talk) 03:03, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

This user you blocked is currently requesting unblocking; I've still got a few reservations, but it seems possible the account might have been compromised. Any feedback or opinion would be appreciated. – Luna Santin (talk) 06:03, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: SamatBot problems on enwiki

Hi! I've read your message on my talk pages. I think it is a bug in pywikipedia code (in case not having iw links in the template before the bot's edit) and I will contact the developers. Thank you for fixing the errors my bot made. Please unblock my bot. I will make only supervised edits until this problem will be solved. Regards, Samaten (talk) 09:48, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bot approved: dabbing help needed

Hi there. Fritz bot has been approved at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/FritzpollBot for filling in a possible 1.8 million articles on settlements across the world. Now dabbing needs to be done for links which aren't sorted as the bot will bypass any blue links. and I need as many people as possible to help me with Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/Places to prepare for the bot. If you could tackle a page or two everything counts as it will be hard to do it alone. Thankyou ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 12:17, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

Hello there. The guidelines do state that fan links should not be included: "Inappropriate external links:...Fan-based sites". While this isn't strictly policy, it's a guideline that I follow on video game pages. Thanks! Fin©™ 19:23, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disambig editintro

Hi. I believe we have a consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disambiguation#Template to caution against frequent mistakes that the {{Disambig editintro}} template is a good idea. Could you request the appropriate update at MediaWiki talk:Common.js for us? (I don't want to ask for the wrong thing and confuse the issue ;)

Also, presumably the template will need to be either protected (for high-use reasons (100,000+) or moved to MediaWiki:Disambig editintro? Thanks again. -- Quiddity (talk) 03:35, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Main Page margin-top

The space above the "Welcome to Wikipedia" box has been annoying for years. It looks fine, even great, in Safari, but in Firefox, it can be quite unseemly. It's twice as bad when the sitenotice is live, especially when it's live for anonymous users. However, removing the space entirely causes issues, as I discovered. The sitenotice is dismissable for logged-in users, so when I reduced the space and clicked 'dismiss,' it was almost directly beneath the tabs. Also, when I was working on it, the anon tips were active (i.e., not merged with the donation banner as they are now). When the anon tips were inserted via JS into the contentSub, it pushed everything down a bit, which I believe was partly causing some issues with the coordinates on articles. Perhaps the margin-top can be reduced a bit, but between the various browsers and the other variables (sitenotice, centralnotice, etc.), it may just be better to leave it alone. I had tried it at 0 (removing it altogether) and at .4em before reverting myself. Perhaps a value of 1 or .9 would suffice. I posted to Talk:Main_Page hoping that someone would see it and come along and solve the problem, however, I don't think anyone responded. --MZMcBride (talk) 03:29, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
