Drive-by coding update: Table of Contents and Templates

[cin1607]

Hey all,

Just to let you know, based on the discussion in franzeska's earlier post about TOC weirdness due to TOC coding in the templates, we've now taken that bit of coding out of all of the templates. (Let us know if we missed one somewhere.) So while Fanlore will still generate a TOC for any post with three or more subheaders, the placement will be the same as wikipedia's.

Yay? :)

Yes. I'm not thrilled with how most pages look now either (in the default skin, which I assume most people will use). For me the TOC is usually left of the infobox, and the text squeezed in a narrow column too.

Hee - love your icon.

I didn't know whether I was jumping the gun on this since it is still being worked on, (hopefully) but then again, when things are being worked on is maybe the best time to say what works and what doesn't!

It never occurred to me that people used skins for wikis. Bad enough that webpages have to be tested for all browsers...

We've got a request into Systems to fix the TOC so that it floats left and we're hoping that will fix this.
