Quite the understatement.

Wiki was updated recently though the date is totally wrong.

As I think I mentioned earlier, each wiki now has two date stamps, one up top (creation date, I think, which is sometimes a random 1969 or 2069(?) date) and one at the bottom (last edit). I don’t remember that being the case before.

The combination of no yellow background, tiny font, and wikis sometimes being hidden seems to be causing a rash of new members to ask "where's the wiki?"

Forget if this has been mentioned previously, but indented bullet points are no longer indented if they appear below the "show more" link

Example thread:

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/delt...k-threads.html

Here's what it looks like when editing:

Here's what it looks like when viewing, after clicking on "show more"

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...387922f4e8.png

Note that the bullets under DTW are still indented, but HND and JFK etc. are not.

It's also still doing the thing where the editor adds a blank bullet point to the last list in the wiki whenever you click "Edit"

At first blush, the compare-versions feature seems to be an improvement: edits are interleaved & smartly color-coded instead of being presented side by side (which didn’t wrap long lines & was therefore not very useful). It remains to be seen how well this works on long/complicated wikis.

Has the history been re-broken?

Using this wiki https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/delt...k-threads.html

if I do this
I get this
(i.e. nothing, really).

The only way I get something is if I do this
and then I don't believe that what it reports is correct
partly because if I tweak it to this
it appears to be the same result
which seems similarly unlikely.

Honestly, until we can get full support of this product from the central dev team, I think this is about as good as it's going to get. If you can't compare the current version with a previous version, then I can take a look.

wiki won't show or expand to show the whole wiki for this thread., when viewed on Windows desktop
it *IS* viewable on Android.

only way to view it is to click "print" button next to the HIDE button, and it switches over to an AOL-looking 90's version of flyertalk style to show the contents.
VERY weird

I cannot think why it would matter, but I see you were the last person to edit that wiki. I had no trouble expanding it in Firefox on macOS. (And that formatting after clicking the Print button is ugly.)

Very peculiar, is this still occurring? What browser are you using?

yeah i clicked edit and then backed out of it, but it saved it as a "change" even with nothing new.
Weird that it won't show the whole wiki. In particular the same questions as are answered in the wiki keep getting asked by new posts, hence the wiki exists, but it's frustrating if people can't see the obvious answers some of us put in the wiki
