Links to Wikipedia using the Wikipedia: interwiki namespace still show up inside spoiltext. Example
| Spoiler follows, highlight to read. |
|---|
| Battlestar Galactica |
Fix: add this to the CSS:
td.spoiltext_box a.extiw {color: #000;}

"Spoiler Boxes"
- moved from Nelana Cain
The spoiler boxes have a serious flaw--you can't see the "this is a spoiler" line at the top when you're using the Monobook skin. It's too dark to read. I highlighted and ended up seeing the spoiler, and I didn't want to. Of course now I know what the box is and I won't highlight it anymore, but I would appreciate it if the box could be edited to be compatible with all the skins. Thanks. --Fang Aili 00:16, 24 September 2005 (EDT)
Koenigrules / Hollywood North Report
"Koenigrules" (KR) is the alias of a popular reporter of BSG spoilers, whose reports are often cited and reposted by other sources. Recent comments made on the "Subject 2 Discussion" segment of the "LV Rocks" radio program (transcribed at Sources:Precipice) raised the possibility that KR is merely re-reporting publically available information, and does not appear to be a credible primary source.
The Merovingian investigated this possibility, and posted his findings to Talk:Precipice#Question about Koenigrules. I raised the possibility of instating a policy against citing KR's reports as credible sources on Battlestar Wiki, which was seconded by CalculatinAvatar.
Consequently, I am opening a formal vote here on the matter. Please review Sources:Precipice, its putative source material, and The Merovingian's comments on Talk:Precipice#Question about Koenigrules prior to casting your vote, and feel free to raise any questions below.
In favor of a policy against citing KR as a primary source
- Peter Farago 23:34, 19 April 2006 (CDT)
- The Merovingian (C - E) 23:36, 19 April 2006 (CDT) - I feel like this guy betrayed us. And it's getting worse; 4-5 news sites report things he says as fact; he is not helping at all.
- --Shane (T - C - E) 01:09, 20 April 2006 (CDT) I think he just read the infromation we had posted. That interview was almost excatly what we have on the site. lol. Vote to against citing KR.
