Forum:Numbers

Hunter789 tell me to put my another question to another page: My wiki number listing is glitchy.

When I put in the number listings, the number looks fine, but when I click publish, it shows this:

1.

1.

1.

1.

And not:

1.

2.

3.

4.

Can you guys help me?

 * Could you show an example of where the problem is occurring? And when you hit the "source" button, what does the list looks like? Hunter789 14:48, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

 * I don't see any numbered list on the home page... Hunter789 22:22, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, put in the numbers on some random page by using the number icon and click publish. Then deleted it as soon as paussible or other admin will think you are a vandal. Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 22:46, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

(Resetting indent)What browser do you use? Can you send a screenshot of you editing such a list? Could you try to make one buggy list on the sandbox page I just created? What I've found is that with the current list I've made on the sandbox page on Opera the even numbers do not appear because they're empty.

I'm otherwise unable to reproduce what you're describing. Hunter789 23:24, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

For some situations one needs to start the list with a specific value; for information on that, see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:List#Specifying_a_starting_value.


 * I'm not sure that it is his situation. Anakin Skyobiliviator, I see you've changed my sandbox page. Should I be seeing a bugged list? Because the numbers increment correctly for me. Hunter789 16:11, August 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, heck...why didn't it work before???Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 21:43, August 26, 2011 (UTC)
