Known Issues

Im quite sure the second "known issue" from GuildWiki still applies:

• The links in the box will be broken if there are any space characters in the page's name and no other basename is given. To fix this, use the basename option explicitly and replace any space by the _ (underscore) character.

Compare

Index: # A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

versus

Index: # A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

I modified the code before porting it over from GuildWiki ... it automatically includes the underscore, so that won't be an issue anymore (using PAGENAMEE instead of PAGENAME). I also modified the code at GuildWiki, so it shouldn't be a problem on that site anymore either.

For an example of the spaces not causing issues anymore, see Category:Skill icons. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 17:06, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Small problem on the Skill index

The index on Category:Skills has a problem - it links to pages beginning with this instead of the proper adress. So we end with this and this for any skill link. It's not a big problem since both are linked (editing one will edit the other page), but the userbase isn't shared (for example, my account doesn't exist on the "wrong" wiki). Since this is the template used there (it's the only thing in the Category:Skills page), I'm mentioning it here. Erasculio 11:24, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

Aaand, it's fixed. I feel stupid. Erasculio 12:53, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

Problem

{{Category-index}} seems to not be working properly, I click H and it goes to A-C :S --Shadowphoenix 09:15, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I went right to H.... it must be an IE problem :P-- Wynthyst 09:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

.....Let me test it in FF --Shadowphoenix 09:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

same prob. --Shadowphoenix 09:23, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

The Glossary example on the template page seems to be working perfectly fine for me. What page are you on that you are having problems with?-- Wynthyst 09:26, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Category:Staff icons --Shadowphoenix 09:28, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

It's because there are less than 200 items. The index only works if there are more than 200.-- Wynthyst 09:30, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

ohhhh, then y is it there? --Shadowphoenix 09:32, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I would guess they thought there would be more.-- Wynthyst 09:33, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Should I remove it? --Shadowphoenix 09:34, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Not for me to say :D-- Wynthyst 09:36, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Well I am gonna do it, then go to sleep; then someone else can decide whether or not to revert me lol --Shadowphoenix 09:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
