Index of Regionals and Team Info

Nlaverdure, if there was some change you were trying to make to the Index of Regionals and Team Info pages, I am able to make them for you if you tell me what they are. The wiki does let me edit those pages.

P.S. is there some way to get it to automatically fill out the "reported by" bit on the page or do you just fill that in yourself? Cbale2000 12:05, 12 November 2007 (EST)

  • Thanks for the offer. If I get to it, I'll make a list of the edits I was trying to make. My schedule is a bit hectic right now, so I probably won't get to it for a while. I just filled out the "reported by" parts on this article manually. Nlaverdure 20:18, 12 November 2007 (EST)

Hack

I have this problem, and I have found that it's a limit on the characters. I tried adding a bit of my team's page one at a time, and it wouldn't let me save the last little bit. That means there is a limit of characters you can use. What I did was split my team's page in half, put the two halves on different pages on my userpage (User:MindstormsKid/Team page 1st half and User:MindstormsKid/Team page 2nd half). I then put the following on my team's page:

 {{FLLteamtable|
 |name=Team Terastorm
 |color=blue
 |image=[[Image:TeamTerastorm.jpg|314px|Team logo]]
 |yearfounded=2007
 |organization=Chattanooga Engineers Club
 |city=Chattanooga
 |stateorcountry=Tennessee
 |website=[http://teamterastorm.googlepages.com/ Team website]
 }}
 {{User:MindstormsKid/Team page 1st half}}
 {{User:MindstormsKid/Team page 2nd half}}
 

It worked. Note: Be sure to put the FLLteamtable template ON THE ARTICLE PAGE, not a different page. MindstormsKid 14:01, 15 March 2008 (EDT)

  • It seems very odd that it would do this, particularly because it seems to be limited to some pages (as there are many pages with a lot of content which can still be edited). Perhaps that is just part of this glitch, like the wiki software sets some weird text limit to certain pages for no particular reason. Very odd. Hopefully we can get someone to update the software soon to fix all these problems. Cbale2000 09:45, 19 March 2008 (EDT)
  • It's not a character limit. Doshindude 07:47, 24 March 2008 (EDT)

Can't tag

The glitch prevents tagging glitched articles. Paradox much? Doshindude 07:47, 24 March 2008 (EDT)
