Title: Information in plane wiki is broken
Post by: Mongoose on November 22, 2013, 09:55:33 PM

  I just tried to look up something about one of the airplanes, and it turns out that the page seems to be broken.  Where I expect to see what type of guns or bombs a plane has, I see a bunch of funny brackets.

Which plane? There was a problem with the wiki being "spammed" and they were in the process of getting it cleaned up.

any of them...I tried to create an account and posted in the thread about the spamming that I'd help clean up, but no response for a few days now

oh ya they do have some odd characters on them. The login on the wiki page should be the same one as you use here.

This is still a problem.  lots of strange text and information missing.  It seems more like a formatting issue than spam

When we upgraded the Wiki (had to to due to hackers breaking the previous version), a lot of the formatting from the old version did not translate to the new version.

A lot of pages were also lost due to compatibility problems with the new Wiki update and the old one.

They just have to be replaced.  There is nothing we can do about it.

Ok, so when will it be replaced? 

There should at least be a way that you can export the possible weapon loadouts from the game database to the wiki.

You can edit any page you want. Get to it!

I looked at the raw data and didn't see the formatting issues there.  It looks like it's the template (http://www.hitechcreations.com/wiki/index.php/Template:Infobox_AH_Aircraft) that's the problem, and it doesn't appear that I can edit it... Even if I could, I am not sure I have the knowledge to do so.  Besides, I don't want to make it worse :)

Several of the templates were not compatible with the Wiki update and need to be fixed.
