Template talk:Note

This template seems to be problematic for fresh Mediawiki installs. I imported User Help into my own wiki and this template doesn't seem to work correctly. I've tried to modify it but I lack the proper MW coding skills to make it work. Is there any way this template can be simplified to work with a fresh install? --64.107.156.234 17:04, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

You're probably missing out the ParserFunctions extension. --Sayuri 17:25, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
I had the same problem (with v1.12 after adding the Note template), it was showing something like {{#IF {{... the code itself and munging pages that used the note template rather than working properly. Thanks, Sayuri! AndrewQuee 02:36, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
It's partially working for me. Have installed ParseFunctions but now the {{Note|this is the second method}} does not work as it is somehow missing the 2nd part of the end table. the output now looks like
 </td><td valign="top" style="padding-left:0.5em;"> Note: </td><td valign="top" 
 style="padding-left:0.5em;"> This is the 2nd method </td></tr></table>
The 1st method works ok though. Ubuntu 8.04.1, Mediawiki 1.11.2, ParserFunctions (version 1.1.1)

An update to the above. I have upgraded to MW 1.13.2 and performed a full upgrade and it now works!!

Looks terrible:

$ w3m -dump Template:Note |grep Note\ Note

Note Note: Here is my note.

[edit] Does not always display text

This from the Semantic MediaWiki page:

{{note|Version 1.6.0 is fully functional. Image queries are [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30494 broken in 1.6.1].}}

Gives only the bulb without text:

Note Note:

Hi, do this:
{{note|1=Version 1.6.0 is fully functional. Image queries are [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30494 broken in 1.6.1].}}
Note: Version 1.6.0 is fully functional. Image queries are broken in 1.6.1.
