Forum:Math tag does not work anymore

Hello,

The math tag does not work anymore, so I cannot display formulas. This started several days ago. What happened?

Example: $$y=\sqrt{x}$$ <-- this should be displayed as a formula.

 * For reference: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Ohmyn0/Making_your_wiki_HTML5_compliant#comm-405128 This is an issue a lot of people have known about for a while now, it has to do with MediaWiki 1.19 upgrade. Just wait and it should be fixed soon.


 * I wait, but nothing happens. --Blednotik 00:33, July 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, you haven't waited enough time. Be patient! If it still doesn't work, try using Special:Contact -- Sam Wang (talk) 02:21, July 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * This was the most confusing advice which I received for a long time. Stop giving advices when you don't know! --Blednotik (talk) 02:30, July 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * As per Mathmagician, see this link for reference. As soon as your wiki gets upgraded to MW 1.19 the problem will go away. — Sovq 06:54, July 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * After I waited more than a month, this still doesn't work. I now seek for another wikihosting. Blednotik (talk) 06:54, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Blednotik, I would say that this is very premature at this point. I'm not being critical but your wiki has only 6 pages on it, and probably doesn't get much traffic. It unreasonable to think that Wikia will swap over the small wikis first. I think you should keep building your wiki, and then when the update comes through all the math stuff, new and old, will work again. I'd wait a few more weeks, at least, if I were you. :) STARFLEET ACADEMY 09:00, August 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * According to DaNASCAT, the update script has now begun focusing on smaller wikis, which take less time to migrate. As of August 14, 27,000 wikis have been upgraded to MediaWiki 1.19. TK-999 (talk) 09:42, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
