This page is intended for readers to indicate technical issues with jaWiki.  Please read the "Known Issues" section before editing this page.

Also, if you see something on a page which is broken, trying using the "Fix Me" logo to flag it.  FIXME

====== Known Issues ======

  * Underscores show up in multi-word titles.  This is deliberate.
  * Some links are broken.  Why not fix them? :-)  Check the [[wiki:syntax]] page for help.
  * Links are not consistently underlined; it's not always clear which words are clickable.
  * You cannot use punctuation other than dashes in the name of an article.  Colons ":" are particularly troublesome.
  * **ITALICS:** They don't work consistently across platforms.  This is an underlying software issue, and likely will not be fixed promptly.  
  * Punctuation, especially colons, don't work in italics, either.  //Italics//: works, but //italics:// doesn't.   Except when it does.  See above: this will not be solved promptly.

====== Queries ======

==== Can we use your nifty screenplay CSS to write in script format? ====

We need a method for including short script samples.  This will require a plug-in for DokuWiki, the software that drives jaWiki.  Progress towards getting this plug-in written can be tracked at the [[wiki screenbox]] page.

==== How can we distinguish between proper and common nouns? ====
There's Montage the software and montage the film term.  Both deserve an entry.  Guidelines? 

When you have overlapping terms, have the first line of each article explain the difference -- this is called a disambiguation.  Put it in //italics// -- though understand that the italics aren't consistently showing up.  

Generally, the more common term should get the "pure" title.  You can see examples at [[montage]] and [[Montage (software)]].

==== How do you insert those cool Tables Of Contents? ====
The Tables of Contents are auto-magically created when you use subheaders. Check the "edit" for the [[Welcome]] page to see how it works.
 



====== New Issues / Requests ======
**Navigation requests for Glossary**:

1. Please add Forward/Back buttons at the Top/Bottom of each individual page, and at each Letter Page, to allow browsing the Glossary.

Example (as of 20061229) the first three words in the Glossary under B are:
   bad version
   base camp
   bio-pic

At both the top and bottom of the page on which //base camp// is on, I think there should be Forward/Back icons to allow a user to simply scroll to either //bad version// or //bio-pic// without having to return to the Index.

In the same manner, please let jumps happen from //A// to //B//, from //F// to //G// when scrolling. 

The point is to let people read through the Glossary for fun and education, not use it as if it is simply a place to go look stuff up. As it is currently, for every single page one must return to the Index to get the next page. After two or three pages one simply gives it all up as a waste of time.

Scrolling and search... now it starts to become useful. *smiles* 

2. Please add a Search bar both at the Glossary Index, and at the bottom of each Glossary page, so one can simply type in the word one is looking for and see if it or its subset is in the Glossary.

====== Resolved Issues ======

  * Tried to add [[Inferior Position]] and the changes wouldn't take.  Now the page is in a loop, so you can't edit it, or delete it.  I'm going to put the Entry under [[Inferior PositionTEMP]] for now.  **FIXED**

  * Please kill this malformed page: //writing for emotional impact// -- **FIXED**

  *  Links to syntax page fail with a 422 error.  Are you linking to...<code>[[wiki:syntax]]</code>

  *  Please fix Screenwriter(software): I was trying to redirect to [[Movie Magic Screenwriter]], bolloxed up the syntax and got caught in a loop.  Couldn't edit or delete. **PRESUMED FIXED**
