Participation in the Muppet Wiki Forums requires a full understanding of the Rules and Etiquette.

---

Per this staff blog, the new FandomDesktop skin is now opt-in. I've only had a few minutes to look at it, but I wanted to start a thread for reporting bugs that we can get to User:Lady Lostris. I propose we add them here under new headers for each so that they can be individually tracked and addressed. Please continue to adhere to forum rules as established. —Scott (talk) 11:28, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

HTML5 compliance

• It would seem that <table>-specific code no longer supported in HTML5 is not being respected in the new skin (that's why all our tables are screwed up so badly).
• However, not all old HTML is broken, such as <font>, <s>, and some others. It's unclear why only TABLE switches are being targeted.

Table elements not supported

• valign=top
• cellpadding
• cellspacing
• border
• Are we going to have to convert all these to css, or will any of these be supported?

Search issues

• The pagenumbers for more results at the bottom of search results are misaligned and overlap the dots that should appear between them
• Go-search is disabled

Table content

• Different from other table issues in that these are content stylings that we've placed in tables.
  • template: landscapetable
  • gallery type="slideshow"
  • video embeds (how am I going to find these?)
• Reported by —Scott (talk) 13:38, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
• Wiki Rep response: With the update from MediaWiki 1.19 to 1.33, Fandom is now able to use the standard MediaWiki galleries. All the custom parameters--such as those gallery positions--of the Fandom galleries are not working on UCX, and for regular galleries, these mode parameters are what we have to use. That said, for the galleries that use the navigation=true parameter, a fix is in the works, as those galleries depended on the style and have a different output on mobile. Most styling issues can and should currently be fixed using css. Lady Lostris /  SOAP 14:09, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
• Additional notes: Fandom involvement probably not needed. It's clear that there is never going to be support for any consistency with the way these work within a table, so it's up to the community to decide what to do with these. We'll bring this up in a separate forum thread eventually.
  • That is up to the community to decide, but I am here to lend a hand with this if desired. As I told you before, there are several ticket relating to tables still in the works, so they layout is still bound to change for the better. As such, css fixes are the easiest fix for now as they will remedy the current layout and it can easily be removed again when the tables get fixes on the platform itself.
