Hiya, me again. Just poking about and pressing links and discovered that the coming up link from the what happens when an entry has been picked page goes here http://h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/brunel/coming_up .
Hope this is the sort of thing you want to know.

Yes, I think it should go here.

Check back in around a year Fizzy, it'll have been sorted by then.
Actually, check back in about a week. At the rate Pastey and Co. are squishing 's it'll be done by then!

Oh, where did you find your link? I found mine here http://h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/brunel/A77393541/#picked

I don't find anything - I have an army of ham(p)sters
You could try <./>NamedEntries</.>. Hopefully you'll find it on that list.

Just checked your link - it's certainly not a bug, just a dead link that's probably been in that page for a while.
Perhaps report it to the Curators ?

Maybe I will but since I'm lovin' links at the minute this has to be my favourite link in all the world I actually laughed out loud.

Unfortunately there are a lot of bugs (well, typos) in many of the current help pages. For example the last slash in http://h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/brunel/A77393541/#picked is also problematic. Depending on the skin you come from, the page might fail and take you to the front page.
We are working on getting all the help pages updated.

No, absolutely you should.
We'll never collectively fix this house unless someone is poking a finger in the rotten woodwork while someone else is fiddling with the electrics.
's are 's. They need eradicating and I'm sure the landlords will welcome your help.
It's just that they've got a big pile of compost on the carpets and are not too worried about the outside walls at the moment.
Fizzy, do report it to the Curators. They'll have that fixed pronto, if past-performance is a marker.
They do like to implement a protocol, though.

In the body of the post you can waffle all you like, but if you stick to the 'header' rules you'll blend in nicely.

Definitely continue to report them, yes.
(Not sure whether it's worth also reporting them to the curators, as we *are* working on it. But if you want to, then go ahead! )

Oh goodness!
I took 3Ds advice but the curators can't help it's a job for an editor apparently.
If you could just direct me to the correct place to report them and as I stumble across them I'll report it in the right forum.

Deep Doo Doo Posted Oct 17, 2011
Oops, My bad.
I thought Curators fixed up broken Entries/sorted typos/replaced bad links, etc, etc.
Maybe because this is a Named Entry they may not have access to the edit facilities.
I'll run away now, before I cause any more havoc.
Apologies again...

Oh, sorry, I didn't think of that either. It would be because it's an official help page.
Reporting it here is fine!
