Template talk:Note/Archive

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)

 * 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

 Note:  This is the 2nd method
 * The 1st method works ok though. Ubuntu 8.04.1, Mediawiki 1.11.2, ParserFunctions (version 1.1.1) Roddersg 08:25, 11 December 2008 (UTC)


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