RationalWiki's 2019 Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

If everyone seeing this today donates $5, we will meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Donations so far: $2900Goal: $6000

I agree, somebody should. Also, it looks totally stupid in LQT.

It looks broken in LQT. Or is the [[User:Inquisitor Ehrenstein| part supposed to be visible?

No, the ector</span>]] has been chopped off the end, ruining the link. He's lucky that it doesn't look even worse, really.

@Peter, that makes sense. Is there a tighter character limit on signatures in LQT than in normal preferences?

That would appear to be the case, though I don't know for sure.

My guess is that for whatever reason LQT doesn't like the <span> being used within a link. The same font formatting could be used without it being a span & it would probably work OK (like mine or yours does).

It's a simple character cutoff in the code. If he removes all the extra spaces in his style, and reduces the font size of the text and/or the smiley below 10, he might manage to get it to work.

Couldn't they avoid the character cutoff in the first place by setting their signature to transclude, rather than substitute, in their signature? It's what Blue and I do.

Manually removing the "subst" from the sig part below is also an option, as is not using LQT in the first place.
