Just curious, but would replacing the & with & correct the issue? I know in html & displays as &, but I'm not sure how the wiki software will interpret it.

It was a bug about title. I think we shouldn't change it because it looks fine on links and other things. Also if you try to change, it will shown as "&amp"

I hope no one minds but here is a list of things I've done to the wiki today. Some of these changes might be controversial. If the sysops or the majority of the community feels these changes were bad, go ahead and change them back to the way before I started screwing with things.

• I've changed "Unknown Membertype" section in the MFGGer template (would usually say unknown type 24) to just display a normal Member bar. If this is incorrect in a userpage you can always override it with primarygroup. However, 9 times out of 10, members with an unknown type are just regular members.
• In member infoboxes, I've decided to do away with othergroups and former, replacing them with altgroups. This section is now titled "Former & Other Groups." My reasoning for doing this was because some pages with no other groups were coming up as blank, so we were having to put "(none)" underneath that section to make it look not-ugly. Now you can simply leave that section out if you don't have any former groups or other groups instead of having to put "none."
• I've added a category "Member Pages Using Outdated ForumIDs‎." This is for pages that use member IDs from before the split because badges are automated in userboxes and either they don't have a post-split MFGG account or their post-split MFGG account doesn't have all their badges. I figure we should catalog such pages for easy reference.
• The following pages need to get deleted because I was testing and goofing around (or I did new pages for some of them) so they are no longer needed: [1], [2], [3], [4]

On an unrelated note, I made a thread in the staff forum (back when I was wiki staff) listing a whole bunch of garbage threads I wanted back. Please delete or lock that thread if you haven't done so.

I do think Donkey Kong Meets Megaman and the Bathtub Fad articles should be brought back but that's just me. Some people (I believe Parakarry but correct me if I'm wrong) would like every single fad article restored but in retrospect I think that'd be going a little too far.

Excellent work, as far as I can see.
Good job!

Thanks :3

Y'all should congratulate Gato too; he's been doing a lot of work today. He and I came up with this page to explain the situation with the badges on the wiki.

What I'm doing tonight is removing all IPB Happy Heart badges since you have to be warn-free on this MFGG incarnation for awhile in order to get a Happy Heart nowadays. Which means the Old Badges Category is going to shrink considerably.

I still think it should stay in case, for example, a member returns who used to have Sprite Competition Winner badge. Some of my badges (and I'm sure some badges of other users) have been carried over since the beginning so it's only fair.

Hey! We ought to at least replace them with Special Comp Winner badges if this is true. It's not fair to rob people of their badges.

Thats true, we also need to add a page for the Special Comps.

Edit:




Here are the Special comp badges, if you happen to know the badge number of the ones in question, we can just place these right over the top.

I have zero understanding of how the current manual badge templates work.

It looks like it has more to do with how the image is named.
