Broken nodes

If you come across a writeup with misspellings, formatting problems or corrupt links please post a writeup here with the node title hard-linked. If there is more than one writeup in the node make sure to point out which writeup you refer to. Please don't bother reporting HTML problems with Webster 1913 definitions.

It would be helpful if you would first send a private message to the author of the incorrect/broken writeup asking him/her to fix the problem. If the author hasn't been logged in for some time then don't bother - just add a writeup here.

Webster 1913's /msgs are checked from time to time, so you can message him(?) directly about problems with definition writeups.

And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free..."

(Aug 6 06) ABC of Anarchism - currently in progress of being fixed by Sontra. Have msged blaaf (original noder) to let him know we're putting in links.


(sept 25 06) node id 1836348 has some bad juju, i.e. it breaks everything
Bad juju was e2node with null title. Very bad juju. Fixed in db, then deleted. -ap 2008-01-11

Surah 51 The Winnowing Winds and its zillion brethren have no links. Poor noding but we have nothing better. -ap 2008-01-13

http://everything2.com/node/610273 (God by Metacognizant) does not appear in the God node. NOTE: The reparent tool doesn't help here, says 'nothing moved.' -the custodian 25 apr 2009 -- OK, that was a nasty one. Fixed in database -alex 20090426


http://everything2.com/index.pl?epi_hideces=0&node_id=700678 is exactly the same as the WU that appears in Snake, but voting on the one in the main node does not vote on the 700678 WU. -- Duplicate writeup under two node_ids, killed 700678 -alex

Two of my writeups, this one and America's Army are both b0rked, and when I look at Node Tracker I get the following (always):
                    Created/Nuked/Renamed:
Change    Title
                                                                 
Renamed | :28:8->
Renamed | America's Army:37:-27->America's Army
...and...
        Reputation Changes / Cools:
Rep            +/-           C!  +/-  Title  

+20 (+28/-8)   +0 (+28/-8)   3        Meanwhile, the PILOT (abbrev by rb277)
+64 (+37/+27)  +0 (+37/+27)  2        America's Army
Is there any way to fix these? The 'repair' link doesn't do it; I tried. Thanks.

Oh, and that first one was a nodeshell. The title isn't my fault. :-) If the title length is what is breaking it, I guess I can change it.


There is a length limit on titles. Compare Invisible Husband to Meanwhile, the PILOT. Meanwhile, the PILOT is slightly longer than Invisible Husband, and by coincidence happens to be exactly long enough to cut off (fiction), which should be part of the writeup title, entirely while Invisible Husband cuts off its writeuptype at (id, which is just enough to prevent the title of the e2node and the title of the writeup to match identically.

So yes, it's a length issue.

Okay, update. With rootbeer277's gracious assistance, I have shortened the name of the first node by 9 characters. It still breaks Node Tracker. Sigh. -TC
