Hi Benjamin, I copied the wikitext from Wikipedia and have been using it for many years now. It works for 1.14 and earlier versions but not for either 1.16.0 or 1.16.1.

The wikitext is:<div class="dablink">{{{1}}}</div>

Unable to get it to work, I changed it to:

<div class="dablink" style="padding:0 0 20px 20px;">''{{{1}}}''</div>

Still, when the template is used by another template, e.g. otheruses, the dablink format doesn't seem to take effect. I wonder why.

Hi, I just upgraded to Mediawiki 1.16.1 but I found that the dablink is

not

working. It is not italicized, nor is it indented. What could be the possible reason? It happens to both my Mediawiki 1.16.0 and Mediawiki

1.16.1

installations, but not my 1.14.0.

What's the wikitext you're using for the dablink?

I assume you also copied over the corresponding CSS at some point? Try fetching an updated version of that.

Maybe the corresponding CSS is at MediaWiki:Monobook.css and he's using Vector in 1.16 ?

(solution: move to MediaWiki:Common.css, or MediaWiki:Vector.css if skin-specific)
