A number of wiki issues...

There are several things that haven't been working properly during my wiki editing that I wanted to compile:

I add a bunch of new actors to a show or movie and link to their respective character pages. Upon hitting submit and reloading, all the character links have been wiped out except for the last character I added, which is moved up and attached to the first actor I added (as opposed to the last, where it should be). Going back in and re-editing the names gets them to stick, but it never works on fist submission.

Random links stop working while viewing/editing the wiki for me. This has been ongoing for quite a while. For instance, I'll be adding a quote and one of the text boxes will suddenly become unclickable. I'll just have to submit the quote as-is then click edit again for it to become accessible. This also happens when browsing the wiki, certain hover points like the question marks that appear next to films on a concept page will go dead, and only work hit-and-miss when I reload the page.

Also, the image editor does't work for me. I get a message that says 'your browser does not support the features required for this editor'. I'm running Safari on OSX 10.7. Is Safari just not supported?

Don't link the character's name when you add the actor. After you finish typing in all the names of the characters names in the fields, click Save Changes and then edit it again and then link the names or else it will screw everything up.

Safari isn't supported for the image editor I'm pretty sure, Chrome is the best browser to view any of the WM websites because thats what they develop for.

I have experienced the buttons/links not working but not very often. And CrimsonAvenger is right, just add actors first then their characters separately, it sucks sometimes but thats life for now.

@FinalDasa: fair enough. I just wasn't sure if it was a universal issue or something only I was experiencing.

The add new movie thing isn't working for me. I click and click that button but it is broken. I tried on both chrome and internet explorer.

Are you using the link on the Site FAQ page? That one's not working right. If you hover over the "Browse" button on the header bar and click "Movies" you can use the "Add New Movie' button on that page.

@damnable_fiend: No problem! I'll let the Top Men know that the link isn't working!
