:Heh, never mind.  As soon as I sent that message to you, things snapped back into place. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''17:46:47 Mon&nbsp;'''28 Feb 2011&nbsp;</span>

==Big toc==
Actually, I hadn't noticed, or I  would have stopped you wasting your time.  Big toc is effectively unnecessary now.  It's been hard-coded into the site.  It automatically happens on every page.  Now, you ''can'' still use it, I suppose.  I haven't really checked, but I imagine the effect of placing {{tl|big toc}} on a page is that it allows you to control where the TOC will go.  It normally goes after the lead, by the default of the new layout, but it might be that using the template will allow you to put it lower or higher in the article.  So you're kinda wastin' your time to intentionally put it on pages.  I use it sometimes on forum pages still, where there are less than the minimum number of sections for the TOC to automatically appear, but other than that, I stopped trying to put it out there.
And, yes, there is a known inequality in the way the various TV infoboxen are coded.  That's why a part of the redesign is to eliminate the various infoboxen into a single TV box, a single audio box, a single novel box, a single comics box, and the like.  Get all the code in one place and maintenance is extraordinarily easier.  But that's a few days away yet.
In the meantime, know that {{tl|big toc}} is automatic.  And I apologize that you've wasted some time; if I thought anyone was actually going to be hand editing that, I would have put up warnings before the change.  {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''18:45:22 Mon&nbsp;'''28 Feb 2011&nbsp;</span>
