Template has wrong nomination dates

Someone should fix this. I don't know how. Jd2718 (talk) 01:15, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Here's what the template says: "The nomination period is running for 10 days: from Saturday 00:01 UTC, 12 November until Monday 23:59, 21 November.

Please go here if you are interested in running for ArbCom for 2012." But the article says November 11 - November 20. Jd2718 (talk) 01:16, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Template says 2011 instead of 2012

When I created my candidate profile just now, the links to my statement, questions, and discussion pages were broken. Apparently, the template still says "2011" in a couple of places, whereas it should say "2012". I fixed this in my own profile, but someone should fix the template. — Richwales 06:02, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

I think I found the source of the error, and it should be corrected now. Monty₈₄₅ 07:47, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

It is not. "Vote" link leads to Special:SecurePoll/vote/240 - should be 259  The Steve  12:23, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Duplication in general questions

(Cross-posted from the questions development talkpage.) As a potential candidate I haven't said too much about the question set, but I just noticed that general questions 5(b) and 5(d) overlap significantly. It might be worth combining them—but it should be done quickly, before candidates start answering them. Sorry not to have pointed this out sooner. Newyorkbrad (talk) 03:14, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Discrepancy needing fixing

The banner at the top of the project page says "The nomination period is running for 10 days: from Sunday 00:01 UTC, 11 November until Wednesday 23:59, 20 November." However, 20 November is Tuesday, not Wednesday. This needs to be fixed ASAP, either by changing "Wednesday" to "Tuesday" (and hoping that no one who read it said to himself or herself "great, I'll post my candidacy on Wednesday"), or by changing "20 November" to "21 November." Sorry not to have noticed this sooner. Newyorkbrad (talk) 15:06, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

There were actually several errata in the dates; I've had a clean-up. Happy‑melon 15:42, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Guides not showing up

I'm not sure if this is a problem for anyone else, but the last two guides added to {{ACE2012/Guides}} (Collect and Reaper Eternal)aren't displaying on the template. Hot Stop (Talk) 15:43, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

They wrongly wrote "{{{" for the needed "({{". The risk of this error could be dramatically reduced by the use of a structured-programming coding-style. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 16:24, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
