Speciale tekens werken niet

De speciale tekens, de balk met tekens en voorgefabriceerde wikitekst werkt niet meer. Als je op een letter klikte, dan kwam die automatisch in het bewerkingsveld. Ook bijvoorbeeld {{DEFAULTSORT:}} #DOORVERWIJZING[[]], waarbij die direct in het bewerkingsveld kwamen en direct in te vullen waren. Waar ligt het aan? Ik werk met Apple OSX 10.10.1 en de Safari-browser (versie 8.0.2). Goudsbloem (overleg) 7 mrt 2015 15:15 (CET)[reageren]

Met Firefox op een Windows 7 computer heb ik geen probleem. Werken andere javascriptfuncties op Wikipedia wel? Mbch331 (Overleg) 7 mrt 2015 15:21 (CET)[reageren]

Ik heb nog Safari 5.1 onder OSX 10.6.8 en daar werkt het ook nog als vanouds. Klaas|Z4␟V: 7 mrt 2015 15:58 (CET)[reageren]

Sjabloon verbergen in mobiele weergave

Kan iemand ervoor zorgen dat sjabloon {{Broodkruimel}} verborgen wordt in de mobiele weergave? De broodkruimel wordt in de mobiele weergave niet goed weergegeven, en op kleine schermen is zo'n schema uberhaupt niet echt handig. Ik heb ooit al eens wat geprobeerd: [28] en [29], maar dat werkte niet. MrBlueSky (overleg) 12 mrt 2015 02:29 (CET)[reageren]

Categorie:Wikipedia:Pagina's waar het maximaal aantal nodes is overschreden

In de onbestaande Categorie:Wikipedia:Pagina's waar het maximaal aantal nodes is overschreden wordt door de software automatisch een pagina geplaatst. Waarvoor staat de categorie precies, hoe komt het dat die pagina daar automatisch in terechtkomt en is het nodig om hiervoor een categorie te voorzien? Dinosaur918 (overleg) 11 mrt 2015 23:06 (CET)[reageren]

Hier staat een beetje uitleg. MrBlueSky (overleg) 12 mrt 2015 02:25 (CET)[reageren]

Dus ik veronderstel dat we hiervoor best een categorie aanmaken? Dinosaur918 (overleg) 12 mrt 2015 16:46 (CET)[reageren]

Voor een soortgelijk maximum hebben we al een bestaande categorie: Categorie:Wikipedia:Pagina's waarvoor de maximale transclusiegrootte is overschreden. --BDijkstra (overleg) 12 mrt 2015 21:24 (CET)[reageren]

Dat weet ik, maar de software zet de pagina nu net in die categorie. Dus ik veronderstel dat die toch niet helemaal correct zou zijn. Daarnaast weet ik ook niet of het mogelijk zou zijn om ervoor te zorgen dat de pagina in een andere categorie terechtkomt. Dinosaur918 (overleg) 12 mrt 2015 22:55 (CET)[reageren]

Via Speciaal:AlleBerichten vond ik MediaWiki:Node-count-exceeded-category, welke een paar maanden geleden is aangemaakt. Relatief nieuw dus. Trouwens, op Wikipedia:Verzoeken voor wijziging menu's en dialoogteksten verblijven collega's die vaker zaken wijzigen in de MediaWiki:-naamruimte. --BDijkstra (overleg) 13 mrt 2015 09:28 (CET)[reageren]

Dat lijkt mij niet nodig. Mijn vraag was eigenlijk meer of iemand die categorie zou kunnen aanmaken, aangezien ik geen idee heb wat er precies allemaal in vermeld zou moeten staan. Dinosaur918 (overleg) 13 mrt 2015 23:17 (CET)[reageren]

Uitgevoerd. Gewoon gespiekt van Categorie:Wikipedia:Pagina's waarvoor de maximale transclusiegrootte is overschreden. Mbch331 (Overleg) 13 mrt 2015 23:34 (CET)[reageren]

Ja, dat was ook een mogelijkheid

Bedankt! Dinosaur918 (overleg) 13 mrt 2015 23:38 (CET)[reageren]

Beste manier om het te leren is kijken hoe het bij vergelijkbare categorieën geregeld is. Zelfs koppeling met Wikidata is geregeld en op Wikidata ook nog de commonscat toegevoegd. Mbch331 (Overleg) 13 mrt 2015 23:45 (CET)[reageren]
