More Wiki?

How about putting some more obscure wiki in the article? the {{fact}} for[Citation Needed] might be helpful. Telling people how to add the talk to their sig might be a nice thing to do too. Crackertalk 20:43, 14 March 2007 (EDT)


How do I create a new page? Crocoitetalk 12:45, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

I figured it out. I just did a search on "Toastmasters". Since the page didn't exist, it gave me a link to create a new page. Crocoitetalk 12:57, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

Formulae

Anyone else having trouble getting maths to display? It seems I can only reference formulae which have already been rendered into PNG, like so:

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle i = \sqrt{-1}}

That works, because someone has already got it to work over at the Sandbox. Presumably the image is cached. However, if I try to produce something new, like this:

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle i = \sqrt{-4}}

Some web browsers support math, some do not. Same with MathML. --ALFa 16:50, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

No, ALFa, that is not the problem. I can paste the exact same formula on Wikipedia and Conservapedia, and it works on WP but not on CP. I get the same message as Tsumetai. Ga ohoyt 21:57, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

Stub

How do I mark an article as a stub?


type {{stub2} } down the bottom of the text, without the space in the second set of parentheses.


Thanks.

Header formatting

Does Conservapedia have a MOS like Wikipedia? For example, do headers use sentence case (They are like this) or title case (They Are Like This)? Ylmw21 23:52, 23 April 2007 (EDT)

Conservapedia has a Manual of Style, but it's quite rudimentary and doesn't cover your question. Philip J. Rayment 03:04, 24 April 2007 (EDT)
