Below are some common issues and resolutions when working with the STUFF process. If your problem is not covered below, please post it on the talk page.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| When using {{stuffnew}}, {{stuffmore}}, {{stufffact}}, or {{stuffrevise}}, the template does not generate the correct code. In place of the fact or the title, the generated code displays {{{1}}} or {{{2}}}. | There is an equal sign (=) somewhere in the fact or title (usually in an external link). | Remove the equal sign. |
| When using the {{stuffnew}} or {{stuffmore}} templates, the fact shows up where the title should be, and vice versa. | The order of the fact and the title are incorrect in the template. | Switch the order of the fact and the title. The fact should come before the title in the template. |
| When you edit an individual item (instead of the whole page) and hit preview, the background disappears. There will be a couple of extra characters at the end of the item, and the code for the beginning of the next item may be visible. | These things are all normal. | Once you save the page, the background will return and the extra characters will be hidden. |
| When you vote on and save an item, it returns you to the toon's STUFF page (e.g. STUFF/mile) instead of the original STUFF page with all the facts on it. | This, too, is normal. The only edits to the actual STUFF page are adding more subpages. | Click on the "Back to STUFF index" link to return to the main STUFF page. |
| When you preview the item right before you save it, if the link back to the article is red, like this: STUFF/different town. | You didn't remove "STUFF/" from the link. | Remove "STUFF/" from the link, so that only the name of the toon remains, like this: different town. |
| When using the {{stuffnew}} or {{stuffmore}} templates, links that were in the original item disappear. | The sofware is interpreting the wiki markup instead of displaying it as is. | Put <nowiki> tags around the item, like so: {{stuffnew|<nowiki>The fact with a [[link]].</nowiki>|Title}}. |
