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.

Clickable complete category expansion

 * MediaWiki version: 1.14
 * PHP version: 5
 * MySQL version: 4.1
 * URL: www.cheatwiki.com

I have the CategoryTree extension installed and Categories with the expansion "plus boxes" on my main page. '''Is there a way to provide a button that allows the user to opt for full expansion of the tree in one click? '''

I envision this as useful to a new user trying to find items of interest.

Sidebar CSS

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.2
 * PHP version: 5.2.13 (cgi-fcgi)
 * MySQL version: 5.1.30
 * URL: http://3browse.com/wiki/index.php

Not really an error, but I'd like some help if possible. I'm not entirely sure how to edit the CSS of the Sidebar, as in the titles such as "site", "search", "support", etc. here. I tried searching in main.css for color: #000 and color: #black but the one's I changed didn't effect the sidebar titles... please can you help?
