Meta:Help:Image page authors and history

  • Possible problem with page display - Apparent collision of a navigation bar and the TOC, per Image:WikiScreenshot.PNG. Browser used in screenshot is Firefox 2.0, and this is the only page I've seen where something like this happened. As I'm not (yet) an advanced Wiki coding guru, I thought I'd put it up here and let someone with more experience take a whack at it. --Jackytar 21:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bump. I second Jackytar's comment.

Eh?

This so-called help page is gobbledigook. Can someone please improve the opening paragraphs in particular? --Dweller 22:14, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Standard editing

I have seen headers in fair use rationale that has quotes in the article they are being used - like "Article Name". What's the right? With quotes or not? BritandBeyonce (talk•contribs) 09:35, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is better to use quotes but I may be wrong here. --Siva1979Talk to me 10:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How do you edit the layout of pictures vs. text?...

Specifically, how do you fix up the overlap between a picture and nearby text (not the picture caption, but regular article text)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.101.158.117 (talk) 23:53, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image description page, er, description

Regarding the statement: "for an image in a template it lists only the template, not the pages in which the template occurs", is this currently true? Seems to me that for templates such as Userboxes and Wikiproject notices, the image is cited for each page on which the template appears.
