Template drafts
I typically do only a little initial testing: Chromium on Linux, and JAWS over IE8 on WinXP. I'm always happy for more help cross-browser testing.
Evil whole page layout bug
For lack of a better term. If you see the top and left menus shrink and pull away from the main part of the page (example image), this is related to an obscure bug in MediaWiki. First, check the page for templates appearing after a *
, #
, or other list marker. Then, remove newlines from those templates. That should fix it. I'll be happy to help if needed, just ask.
Technical details
HTML elements containing newlines, usually transcluded from a template, inside a wikilist item, cause duplicate end tags. For example, * <div>foo(newline)bar</div>
becomes <ul><li><div>foo</div></li></ul>bar</div>
. The container div for the article stops prematurely at the extra end tag. Further content spills outside the article container. Hilarity ensues.
