If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
Several months ago, we changed our magazine issue naming conventions to be <abbrevition> <number> — as in DWM 400. This had a knock-on effect with preloadable formats that editors can use to quickly create new pages for issues. I promised to make the necessary switches, but . . . well, didn't.
I apologize for the delay, but the changes have now been made. The preloadable formats work again. If you choose to use the preloadables, and I hope you will, a lot of the menial linking is done automatically by the template.
Some editors, of course, choose to create articles offline in Word, then cut and paste it as a finished product into our editor. If you're such a person,please throw away your current templates. Then, go to the following pages and grab the latest version:
Of course, if you prefer to create new pages directly in the wiki's edit window, all you have to do is select the appropriate preloadable format under "option 1" on any "create page" screen.
If you have problems with any of these new versions, please let me know.
