Summary of Yammer
FS Wiki Contributors group. 31 September - 7 August

problem: little edit boxes on the right side of an article (they are usually opposite a heading) that interfere with an image or table solution: use HTML to size headers example: instead of ===Heading=== use the less than/more than with h3  and /h3 between them
 * CHARLES SMITH tip of the week


 * CHARLES SMITH noticed Missouri has a link to a Wiki page Missouri State Archives containing only a link to the desired website  Could a possible project be to check all links on State pages to be sure they have something valuable in them?


 * CHARLES SMITH proposed a typical left sidebar for State pages SIDEBAR see his explanation in his Yammer post
 * This is an important issue for wiki contributors to consider


 * RANDY HOFFMANN notice a Wiki page with a bunch of special formatting and a slew of links that weren't click-able. When he moved a div closure everything was fixed.  CHARLES SMITH commented that when this happens the problem is usually a misplaced closing div tag.


 * David Smith: We've come across an issue lately, when a template will cut out part of the link and replace it with ellipses.
 * Has this issue been understood/resolved?


 * Charles Smith: New Image map is now in place
