Anonymous version[edit]
I'd like to see an anonymous switch for this short template... Could be done right?--oKtosiTe talk 09:49, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Header & border[edit]
When I try to combine a header and a border, I get this:

Can anything be done? --oKtosiTe talk 22:59, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- It seems to work on Template:w-basic. --oKtosiTe talk 23:09, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- Fixed. Λυδαcιτγ 01:23, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- This does not work for me (in the year 2020), User:Audacity - I get the exact same result as shown above. I've edited the documentation - feel free to revert that change once the bug is found. Cheers, CapnZapp (talk) 09:54, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

- You must have typed:
{{subst:w-short|Ryan Delaney}}
- Instead just use:
{{subst:w-short}}

Restore old link[edit]
Not sure what went wrong but we should restore the link that was here for years before the change last month. Many of us use this is to avoid large tutorials. Was using this for a month before someone told me what the link was to...dame it...why so many problems with this !!!!!--Moxy 🍁
- I firmly oppose. Your preferred page, WP:Contributing to Wikipedia, is way too long — new editors are never going to read through it. By contrast, the first page of the Help:Introduction tutorial series, Help:Introduction to Wikipedia, is extremely digestible, and if new editors want to continue beyond it, they easily can. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 00:14, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- I am not sure what to do as this is the 3rd time you have reverted here? We talk about it before here so I am not sure how to proceed as its a template. Guess we will have to get a few others involved ? What is so funny here... is I think 66 pages is way to long...odd we have the same problem about the pages. --Moxy 🍁 00:21, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
