'Welcome to Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core!' We hope you will contribute much and well. You will probably want to read the [Help:Contents help pages]. Again, welcome and have fun! Crew (talk) 13:24, 17 September 2016 (CEST)

If you look at the Wikipedia page for [Marcus Aurelius] you will see that the poem tag actually works. So, it looks like we have a bug. (Crew (talk) 03:16, 18 September 2016 (CEST))

My bad, will revert. Speaking of bugs, the pages for [the Second Battle of Fredericksburg], [Fredericksburg, VA] and [Ireland] display table-related closing tags. Also, all coordinates are broken or [duplicated]. The tables on the Fredericksburg and Battle of Chancellorsville pages overlap other elements of the page if the browser window is not fullscreen. Lua isn't supposed to be working, is it? Various pages show errors, such as the [Duck] page.

Yes, there are a number of bugs at the moment, and Rifleman was promising to provide a location where we could enumerate them. Also, yes, I had noticed that things were broken on pages containing coordinates but had not linked it to coordinates. That might be a clue. (Crew (talk) 23:58, 18 September 2016 (CEST))

I have a clue about what is going wrong in some cases. I can see the following in one of the pages:

Religion United Methodist Church</td></tr>
Signature </td></tr>
Website
Campaign website</td></tr></table>

This means that the template is adding &lt; and &gt; in some cases, forcing the tag to print out rather than be interpreted. (Crew (talk) 15:31, 23 September 2016 (CEST))

Look for stray tags like that, then go look at the template. The template will be in Template:<name-of-template>

Will do. John Rumford (talk) 03:54, 29 September 2016 (CEST)

Should have updated this. We found that problem. It was a missing module that Rifleman has now installed.

There is a list of bugs at Infogalactic:Bug_list_for_editors. Also, check the recent changes in the left-hand column from time to time. (Crew (talk) 04:08, 29 September 2016 (CEST))

Okay, will do. Thank you! John Rumford (talk) 04:10, 29 September 2016 (CEST)
