Summary of Yammer

FS Wiki Contributors group. 31 September - 7 August

• CHARLES SMITH tip of the week

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

Heading

• CHARLES SMITH noticed Missouri has a link to a Wiki page containing only a link to the website Missouri State Archives 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 [1] see his explanation in his Yammer post

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.
