Problem reports

This is the place to report problems for the WMF project sites and track them. Some (most?) problems should be turned into Bugzilla reports instead of being entered here, However if you are not sure, then they should be entered here.

Generally problems are initially reported on village pumps. With so many sites, though, it is difficult to track them all and, further, it isn't possible for any one person to track all the different language sites for problem reports, so problems sometimes often go unreported. Especially when these bugs don't affect English wikis (like the RTL issue), they go unresolved for quite some time.

If you find something that doesn't work as expected, make a note of it here. If you're comfortable entering bugs in Bugzilla: and you think this is a bug in MediaWiki, then please do that as well. Add {{Tracked|BUG#}} just before the bug report with the bug number. Please sign your problem reports.

If you see that someone has reported a problem, but not filed a corresponding Bugzilla ticket and you think one is needed, then please file one for them and add {{Tracked|BUG#}} just before the problem report here.

If you file a Bugzilla report, it is often very useful to include links to any on-wiki discussion, preferably the original problem report you saw.

tables: header options are ignored

Source	Result
{|class="wikitable" style="width:15em" !align="right" bgcolor="yellow"| text |- |align="right" bgcolor="yellow"| text |- !style="text-align:right;background:yellow"| text |}	text text text

When specifying wiki-options like align= or bgcolor= in header cells (!), these options are ignored, although they work in plain cells (|). Also, in heeder cells still works CSS-styles. AVB (talk) 10:27, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

tables: wrong processing width=

MW incorrectly treats width="nnem" as width="nnpx". Example:

Code	Result
width="30px"	T
width="30em"	T
style="width:30em"	T

inconsistend align= behavior for class="wikitable"

align="right" attribute accepted in table header, whereas align="center" is ignored:

class="wikitable" align="right"

class="wikitable" align="center"

When class not specified (or differs from "wikitable") align="center" works fine:

align="center"
