This article details technical issues in the wiki.tango.info system.
Session
- Under circumstances unknown, the wiki can spontaneously logout the user.
Article content
- Table of Contents does not automatically appear except if the article has four or more sections.
- The highlight of a word-embedded wiki link includes the complete word rather than just the title e.g. on GTINs includes the 's'.
Rendering
- A self-reference such as this tango.info wiki issues fails to show as link but instead shows bold (Tobiasco suggests this is by design)
- Ths History tab's Compare Version's deletion marker - a strikeout - it sometimes hard to spot, e.g. in here in the left Revision, on the '- ' string.
- Width <pre> content such as in here cause wrapped paragraphs to be often wider than the browser window, requiring horizontal scroll to read.
- On IE6, enboldening fails to show on the / character, e.g. this one is marked emboldened: /.
Search
- Serach result snippeting fails to interpret wikicode.
- Search for / fails to find matching titles.
- Search for word in title/page can fail to find, e.g. search for ZEN fails to find Creative ZEN which has the word ZEN in title and in article page
- Yet search for issues does find that word e.g. in the title of tango.info wiki issues

Why MediaWiki's Site Search Stinks, Reason #2 Huge Stopword List: What Were They Thinking? http://www.searchtools.com/analysis/mediawiki-search/2-mw-search-stinks-stopword-hell.html
For Reference: The MySQL Full Text 5.x default stopwords, as of October 13, 2008.

Management
- Pages set to "Watching..." by clicking on "Watch" do not appear in the user's Watchlist.
- My (Chrisjjj) Watchlist shows under (Main) only non-existent numerically-named articles, rather than the articles I've set to Watching... .
- The tab for an article's Talk page is labelled Discussion.
Article history
- http://wiki.tango.info/w/mul/index.php?title=2008-05-01--06_UA_festival_Tangocamp_Koktebel&diff=prev&oldid=12080
- shows User:Hellcatk as editor, but in the history he is not.
- there were tow pages for that event, the one by Hellcatk got deleted, the other (older) one was moved to the newer name and then the history was asked to be restored - but it didnt include the old stuff
