Forum:Spoilers turning invisible

The wiki I've been working on lately uses as a lot of spoiler tags (, < /spoiler >). Right now, in some places, rather than displaying the spoiler warning and expandable link like they should (correct example: http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/NV) they are turning completely invisible (problem page: http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Phak-Rur - the section called Timikith's shop). This is happening across browsers and across skins. Sometimes, if I just add a blank line before or after the tags it fixes it. But sometimes it doesn't. Help?

 * It would probably take some digging, but I would guess there is something in a template that is interfering. You might want to copy the offending page to a sandbox page and start removing templates to see if it helps. What exactly is adding &lt;spoiler&gt; support? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 17 Nov 2011 11:24 PM Pacific


 * I know it's an extension, but I'm not the one who set it up. The only mention of it that I know of is here: http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Sryth_Wiki_talk:Spoilers_policy


 * Thanks for the help! Psychoadept 06:35, November 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * (p.s.) The exact same code that's working okay on the example I linked is breaking on my totally blank user page: http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/User:Psychoadept


 * Hi, I come from the Sryth wiki too. This is the original petition (with link to the original source of the extension) that helper Richard1990 asked wikia staff to install. I didn't personally supervise the process, but at the time the main staffer charged with things like that was Uberfuzzy. I suppose he may know more. Scarbrowtalk 10:22, November 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Uberfuzzy quit working with Wikia at the start of this month.


 * My guess is that staff changed something on their end that broke the way the extension works. As for why it works on some pages and not others, that's because the pages are cached. If you do a null edit to the pages that use spoiler tags, the tags will disappear immediately afterwards because the cache of that page will be updated. For example, I just did a null edit to Nevernal Reserve, and now the spoiler tags are not showing.
 * I suggest that you contact staff about this and explain what the extension is and when it broke.
 * If staff can't get it working again, you could try using collapsible tables for your spoilers instead. --Gardimuer { ʈalk } 16:22, November 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * A bug ticket has been filed for our engineers to review. --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 19:44, November 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * The problem appears to be fixed now. Thanks everybody! Psychoadept 20:42, November 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * It does appear to work correctly now. I did find a few pages that were not displaying spoiler info that were fixed by "purging" the page.  Since I can't reproduce it I'm not sure what the root cause was (and it would have been an unintentional side effect as the extension itself has not changed).  If it happens again, please re-open this bug. OwenDavis 22:39, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
