[opensuse-wiki] wiki formatting problem
Every opensuse wiki page is disfigured by the presence of status information about the page's accuracy, depth and readability overlaid over the page itself. In some cases, it makes important information on the page unreadable, as in the following example: http://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime An image of what I see is pasted at http://imagepaste.nullnetwork.net/viewimage.php?id=2762 I believe the issue is that instead of using CSS to display this information, javascript has been used. You can reproduce the issue by disabling javascript. Javascript should not be used where CSS is suitable. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner@opensuse.org

The problem you are seeing is "caused" by the Flagged Revisions extension. See: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14128 It's fixed in r77510, so... an update to the extension should fix it right up. Looks like quite an old version in use on the oS Wiki... see: http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Version - third entry under "Special Pages" Basically, if you want to use the FlaggedRevs tools you need to have Javascript enabled. If you don't care about it/use it, then if the extension is updated, it'll simply be inaccessible to you as a page viewer - ie you will not be able to check page validity etc. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks for that. Hopefully the wiki s/w will be updated sometime then :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner@opensuse.org

We have upgraded the wiki software and all the extensions in the stage environment. We are planning to wait another week to do the same in production. This way, we don't risk breaking openSUSE.org during a major release.
