I posted a thread entitled Howling:The Miracle in the howling, but it isn't appearing in the index. Does anyone know why that is?Icecreamdif 03:29, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

In order to be in the index, the thread must have {{forumheader}} atop it. This should be automatically put on the page as soon as you create it from the creation box on Howling:The Howling. If you created it via any other method, then you would have to remember to put the following on the top of the page:

{{forumheader|The Howling}}

If you did create the thread by using the creation box on Howling:The Howling, please let me know, as that would indicate a technical problem that needs to be addressed.

Actually, looks like I'm gonna have to cry mea culpa on this one. In moving all the Howling threads over to the Howling namespace, it would appear that my bot moved a tiny little page that made the "add new topic" thing work on The Howling. Everything's back in place now, so the new topics are once again being stamped with the automatic {{forumheader}}. You should experience no further issues with threads not appearing in the index — so long as you create them from the box on Howling:The Howling. You'll still have to manually edit Howling:The Miracle and add

{{forumheader|The Howling}}

at the very top of the page.
