I wouldn't really say that. My templates are quite advanced and more complex than the Wikipedia ones, and I've never had to mix html and parserfunctions like that. Personally, using html tables like that kinda disturbs me. ~Daniel Friesen(Dantman) of: -The Gaiapedia (http://gaia.wikia.com) -Wikia ACG on Wikia.com (http://wikia.com/wiki/Wikia_ACG) -and Wiki-Tools.com (http://wiki-tools.com) MinuteElectron wrote:

I saw similar problems on my wiki until I rolled the parser back to the 1.11version. I assumed that one issue is that I'm using a newer version of PHP than the one used on Wikipedia, and that I am running on Windows rather than Linux. It also looks like Template:Navbox/core is missing from your wiki database. Wikihiero is working for me, as are the new navbox templates. Tidy settings did not impact the problem in my case.

DJ, thanks that gives me something to work on. MinuteElectron: Is this change documented anywhere? Also the setting in DefaultSettings, are you referring to $wgParserConf. It is a big file and I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for? Thanks everyone. Yousef On 1/1/08, MinuteElectron <minuteelectron(a)googlemail.com> wrote:

I guess this is trunk, so we don't have to worry *too* much about things not working, but "the trunk must work at all times" doesn't seem to be followed here very well.

Trunk is not guaranteed to work in an obvious fashion (although usually it does, and it's a failure when it doesn't). If you *had* followed the technical discussions since the release of 1.11, you would have seen the discussion over the new parser that Tim built, and the fact that it was disabled for Wikipedia due to various issues. You could then have inferred that you might want to disable it for your installation. Issues like this aren't noted in the release notes or anywhere else, because they're expected to be fixed before release.
