== About the "Toapprove" template ==
<h1>Extension testing!</h1>


Greg, take a look at [[Ammonia production]] which has been nominated for Approval. The notification that announces the nomination (created by the "Toapprove" template) has the date written as '''20080928'''.

<h2>CategoryTree</h2>

That is quite cryptic at first glance. Would it not be better if it were written as '''2008-09-28'''? Would you be so kind as to make that change in the template? - [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 12:59, 25 September 2008 (CDT)


== Weird link bug ==

<hiero>G1 R1 E1 G1</hiero>


Greg,
<hr>
I didn't know who else to alert, so I'm starting with you.  Please take a look at this section: [[CIO/Draft#Further_Reading]].  There seems to be some some sort of glitch.  The code is "<nowiki>[http://books.google.com/books?id=BMZiFI9UNXQC John L. Lewis]. (1986)</nowiki>."  So you and I would expect the text to look like this: "<font color=blue>John L. Lewis</font>. (1986)."  But it doesn't.  It looks like this: "<font color=blue>John L. Lewis</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;. (1986)."  There is a space between the link and the period.  I can't see that I'm coding anything incorrectly.  If this isn't your bailiwick, please direct me to who I need to talk to.  Thanks. --[[User:Russell D.

::I have noticed this too.  i think the problem is with plainlinks.  External links usually have an arrow icon at the end. With plainlinks activate the arrow should disappear so it looks like an internal link.  In CZ it partly work, in that the arrow disappears, but the space for the arrow is still present. i agree with Milt that this has existed for a while, however, it used to work as you would expect, ''i.e.'' no arrow and the space disappear.

::Ah-ha.  I see.  The space is where the outsourcing arrow would be.  [http://historywiki.emich.edu/index.php?title=Help:Sources#American_History:_General Take a look at this page] (Pardon the egregious self-plug).  Same mediawiki software (although probably an earlier version), but the link to the American Memory Collection at the Library of Congress has the arrow.  Thanks for your help in isolating this.--[[User:Russell D.

:::Strange, i don't see the arrow and the space is not there either. This might well be a browser issue rather than a mediawiki issue. [[User:Chris Day|Chris Day]] 16:45, 6 November 2008 (UTC)


::::The picture for the arrow is at http://en.citizendium.org/skins/Pinkwich5/external.png . If I go to that page with my browser, it complains that the image contains errors. Indeed, the PNG file is 164 bytes long while the corresponding file for the old skin (http://en.citizendium.org/skins/monobook/external.png, which displays fine with my browser) is one byte longer. So it looks like something went wrong there. I asked Greg by email to copy the files; I seem to remember that he doesn't check this page that often. -- [[User:Jitse Niesen|Jitse Niesen]] 14:25, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Greg,

I am interested in writing an extension for CZ. The user requirements for this extension are currently under discussion (see [[CZ:Wishlist/Citations, References and Bibliographies]]). It is not certain that these requirements will lead to technical requirements requiring an extension, but I would like to be prepared in case they do. So, I was wondering, is there a Subversion repository that has the source for the currently installed version of MW for CZ? Does the Mediawiki repository hold the source? Is it somewhere else? Thanks. [[User:Dan Nessett|Dan Nessett]] 20:56, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
