[Wikia-l] New editing display problem

[Robin-P]

Thank you.
Happened only that once so far, in the couple of weeks since I switched to Monaco. Same sort of editing problem as I have sometimes got with some pages that have harmless-looking templates - the edit box pushes to the left over or under the sidebar , requiring some lateral thinking to do some edits. Here I needed the same sort of lateral thinking, but there were enough gaps in the intrusion to let me edit that section.
If something like it happens again, I'll study the page code with your response in mind.  I may study that page more closely anyway - some of it is unnecessarily complex for its intended function.

  Heya,

  This normally happens when there is an unclosed div or table somewhere in the code (normally due to an edit of a MediaWiki message - such as the edittools or copyright message). The software seems to be getting stricter about it over time (possibly due to the new preprocessor).

  However, from looking at the page at the moment, I can't see the bug. Did it happen more than once?

    After a quite normal edit on another page, I
    clicked to edit a section of Genealogy
    Help:Contents. The sidebar (everything below the
    logo) has "moved" so that it covers the left-hand
    quarter of the main panel. The bottom panel
    headings - Hubs/Featured/Wikia is hiring - have
    moved up and to the right in a roughly
    corresponding manner, partly overlapping the
    "edittools" bottom line.
