:;Bugs originally listed on Jon's talk page
 
:The following error messages/pages are still seen when saving pages, edits, uploading files, etc. Often it takes several page reload attempts to get a save that "takes". Same spam prevention prompts are usually being displayed twice for every save being done, and sometimes the prompts are displayed even when no links are being added.
 
 
:;Odd page displayed after saving a page
 
:Every time I save a page, I'm getting error message/pages. I'm also being prompted to answer the spam prevention question- even when no external link is being saved. Anyway, the screenshots below is what appears after a save (the saves have been successful even though error messages are displayed). When a file uploaded or an edited page is saved, if the page is refreshed after the error message page comes up, this prompts another file or page save identical to the one just made. That's why there are several identical "File:400steam holes deck.jpg" images and Q-jet rebuild article pages uploaded one after another. Obviously, duplicates can be deleted (I don't seem to be able to do that myself, sorry).--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 18:56, 4 April 2012 (MDT)

==Formalizing signatures==
 
Omit two dashes from signature standard, or automatically add them to the signature output, and not prepended to the input string. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sign_your_posts_on_talk_pages Signatures]. Suggested by Mmerlinn.

:Personally, I see this as a non issue for the most part, but if there's a "correct" way other than how we've been doing it then I suppose there's a point. I could see omitting the two dashes from some point going forward, but I cannot see going back and deleting the dashes from every previous signature unless it can be done using some software shortcut.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 12:35, 5 June 2012 (MDT)

===Odd 'error' pages displayed after saving a page or file===
 +
Every time I save a page, I'm getting error message/pages. I'm also being prompted to answer the spam prevention question- even when no external link is being saved. Anyway, the screenshots below is what appears after a save (the saves have been successful even though error messages are displayed).

==Bug in alphabetizing an article's name on the category page==
 +
When a page is moved to change the name, the new name appears under the old name's first letter, OR the new title appears under the correct letter, but the letter is misplaced to where the ''original'' first letter would have been located. A screen shot of the second example can be seen [http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/File:Rearend_category1.jpg '''here'''].--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 03:09, 6 June 2012 (MDT)
