User talk:Phlox/TBD

Welcome back! I hope you can give us an hour a week at least.

Progress
"Investigate if anyone has bothered with editing messages or fiddling with the semantic templates" - yes (e.g. "Message on picture page refers to refreshing by pressing a sensor update on the "Tree" page" - that message was wrong on more than just the picture page before, and we are capable of dealing with the messages; and some fiddling with the templates has been done by three or four of us). But we can't find how to create a sensor page using the form (with that red-brown button that should do it but does nothing) before there is a subpage (after which the former button becomes a docile link). Nor how to get the right URL - using special:formedit instead of the superseded "EditData" etc - when we hit "Edit facts" on a child box. (I think I found and fixed the one on the infobox).

The data destruction by any browser except Firefox is real. I tried it at my daughter's place. She has only IE. AAAARGH!

You can probably get a good grip on where our problems are by reading the forum (in Help desk and Watercooler) Forum:Where is tech support? - here, looking at our problem forms(starting at about April 1 if you want to save time and/or have already skimmed it). Some other necessary work-arounds have been mentioned on separate forums or on the "Help: Creating articles" page (linked on sidebar).

Kind regards to you and the family.
