I try to customize Mediawiki, so I changed some things in templates/xhtml_slim.pt. After dropping the database and reinstalling the wiki I saw my first changes. OK.
Why would you drop the database and reinstall to change the HTML template? These are completely unrelated activities.
But now I try to change something again and it does not work anymore, I still see my first changes.
Make sure the compiled template file (usually put in /tmp) is not newer than the xhtml_slim.pt file. If you continue to have trouble, upgrade to 1.4 and use the new template system which is not as fragile.
