Existing pages with table code doesn't work in mediawiki 1.13.2

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.2
 * PHP version: 5.2.6
 * MySQL version: 5.0.51a
 * URL: localhost

I have upgraded mediawiki version 1.10.0 with 1.13.2. I have executed update.php and refreshLinks.php. But the pages which have table code has broken. The data is in text table. All the pages are working good with 1.10.0 version. But doesn't work with 1.13.2.

So, I have edited the page which was not working on 1.13.2 and copied the data from other system where it is working with 1.10.0 and saved the changes. but the page is not saving properly and it is removing the '|' and also placing some extra characters to the data.

Even the table format is good also the page is not getting displayed in tabular form.

It works good when i create a new page with table format.

Please help me that what's wrong with version 1.13.2 that doesn't support existing page table code? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.88.84.10 (talk • contribs) 20:49, 31 December 2008. Please sign your posts with ~ !


 * I really need your help in finding this problem. Actually, it looks like there is some encoding problem some where with mediawiki version 1.13.2. This is corrupting the page display. If you are already aware of the problem then please let me know what could be the solution? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.88.85.100 (talk • contribs) 18:21, 13 January 2009.

I have a problem, which I can't solve. I want to make a page or template with contact data, (name, address, telephone number, etc) and use some of that data on another page, for example only the telephone number. How do I define the parameters on the contact-page and how do I use them on another page? Thank you.P

Implementing Infoboxes, other templates as well
The Wiki I am doing is entirely dedicated to the state I live in. The problem is, I cannot get several templates/features working correctly. I cannot get the following working:
 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.9 (cgi-fcgi)
 * MySQL version: 5.1.30
 * URL: [http://www.wikiutah.tk
 * Template:Infobox - Infoboxes wont work. This includes all the templates that Template:Infobox requires as well.
 * references / & ref and /ref tags wont work. Not sure how to properly implement ref lists.
 * Can't get thumbnails working correctly.

Applying formatting to columns
What's the current best way to assign a style to a given column (which may or may not be a header)?

Context: This is being proposed as a replacement means of displaying test, as opposed to the current method. There's currently a debate whether the control images should be treated as headers, and if not, how to apply a specific presentation to a given column. As far as I know, it should be possible in raw HTML. --Sigma 7 19:40, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The best way would be to use the HTML COLGROUP and COL elements and apply styles to those, but MediaWiki doesn't allow that. Wanderer 20:34, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Aligning a table to the right

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.9 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.81-community

I'm having some trouble getting a wikitable to align to the right, while pushing everything in the way to the left. See this page for what is going on now. The [edit] text for the section is on the left side of the wikitable (stuff on the right), but the separation line for the section is not stopping, but continuing.

How can I make it align to the right while pushing everything else to the left?
