But, in any case, I assume you know who to contact (in Rosetta Code land) and see if this fix/patch is applicable or even applies.   -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:33, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 
: The real underlying problem is that two different formula display methods are used by current browsers, and that these are served by two different parts of the generated code.
: Even if, as we hope, this particular fragility happens to get fixed at some point, it will remain unsafe and imprudent to make formula edits in one class of browser without checking their real effects in the other. [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 22:03, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

: The list is generated by searching through the task HTML for the pathological string '''exheight''', which arises when a semicolon is missing between a vertical-align attribute and a height attribute. [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 20:17, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

==Upgrading generator to MediaWiki 1.27 ?==
Line 487 ⟶ 491:
 
suggests that 1.27 might alleviate the problem of formula images made invisible (zero height) when a semicolon is lost between two attributes: [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 21:41, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 
: Caveat: I saw and fixed a similar problem yesterday on Wikipedia (redundant space in <math> tag triggering the same loss of semicolon and visibility), despite the fact that Wikipedia is using a later build of the generator.

==fixing "language" entries so that they appear as languages==
 
I noticed that some language entries   (perhaps improperly configured or wrongly set-up or other)   are not appearing at "languages"   (in the ''Category:Programming Languages''   page).   Lately, I noticed another:   '''Shapely'''.
 
Undoubtedly, there are others   (and I now regret not writing them down in a list of some sort).
 
I think it seems/appears to have the   #REDIRECT   thingy "backwards".
 
I have in the past fixed a number of them, but I am now reluctant to fix such errors at this point.   Some of these improperly set-up languages are a bit beyond what I know about how to fix such things.   Perhaps you could fix and/or address these one (that I know of) language (definition) entry such that it appears where it ought to appear.     -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 09:23, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
