Does anyone know if there's a socjobs.wiki for 2012-2013?
Can't seem to locate it.

Why is it jumbled?

I don't know, but I looked back through several page versions of the wiki (including from two or more days ago, when I remember checking out the wiki and it looked fine), and all of them appear to be jumbled as well. I'm not a wiki wizard, but that suggests to me that this isn't a simple case of someone editing it and messing it up (which could be fixed by reverting to a previous version). Beyond that, I wish I knew!

It's not completely jumbled, it just lost the line breaks.
In an interesting twist, if one goes to edit the page it looks fine, but then clicking update just puts it back to its "jumbled" state.
I experimented briefly with a couple of attempted fixes:
1) Erasing the line breaks and then putting them back in doesn't do anything. So it does not appear to be the case that something has actually been changed in the text. Instead the wiki seems to be no longer recognizing basic carriage returns.
2) If one hits enter twice for each line break it will create a single line break in the final wiki, restoring order at least on the surface. The downside of this fix is that it means that when editing the wiki one must double-space everything otherwise the lines will continue to be jumbled. For the moment I've left it as it is.
It seems like it's something wrong with the wiki page itself. Perhaps whoever set it up could contact the host?
Meanwhile, if you want to be able to read it hit edit and it will display properly. Weird.

Wikihost apparently changed their formatting to require HTML to format pages. This could get annoying as not everyone knows html. I solved the problem in a sort of brute force way: Used <pre> and </pre> tags to maintain formatting and line breaks and disabled the wiki syntax in the list part of the wiki (which means no bolding or underlining in that part). |
