Item talk:Gauntlets of Eternity

Possible space after Template:SpellPower
I don't see any issues using Firefox 14.0.1 OR Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 32 OR 64-bit versions. Please tell me what version you are using that you are having a display issue and any add-ons you may have installed. Thank you.

 * I have tested IceWeasel 11.0, Google Chrome 18.0.1024.151, Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. Only able to reproduce undesired behavior on one workstation ( version / addon details unavailable at the moment, will be documented within 8 hours of this post. I believe modifying the template to put an artificial space at the end is a bad idea for the reason that not everywhere the template is used is a space after it desired. The links I spot checked either had the template followed by a line break or a comma, I was only able to find one ( the Gauntlets of Eternity page ) that had the template followed by a space ( which does not get displayed in certain cases ). Will do more research and update with findings.

 * Able to reproduce on my workstation undesired behavior of no space being rendered after template spellpower. Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421, attempted 64-bit version of internet explorer, 32-bit version also produced undesired behavior ( on same machine ), internet explorer with no add-ons also produces undesired behavior. Firefox version 3.6.24 on the same machine renders the page correctly. There are not many pages which display a space after template spellpower that I have seen ( two so far, Madstone boots and gauntlets of eternity ), which may explain why this is not a common problem. Madstone boots is a good example to work with, as the other templates render spaces correctly after the template. I will try to create a sandbox page and try to isolate exactly why the template is not rendering a space on this browser. It would be nice to know that if I figure out and fix the display issue that it wont be reverted solely due to the fact that the page renders correctly on someone else's other browser. ( As far as I can tell at this point, this is a rendering bug in IE. Joenuts


 * So, the only difference between your machine and mine as far as I can see is that machine is running Ultimate and mine is running Professional. I am inclined to believe that the issue lies somewhere in that specific machine.  I am the 'template guy' for the most part.  I will take a look through the template and see if I can find "any" thing that "may" cause your specific issue.  I am curious to see if you can copy the template to wikipedia or wikimedia and create a test page in your user space and recreate the issue on another installation of mediawiki.  If you can, that would tell me it is more likely something to do with the relationship between mediawiki wikis running 1.19 and Win7 Ultimate 64bit and less to do with our wiki/template.  If that was the case, I could try to isolate the problem and submit a bug report on bugzilla for it to be fixed at the root of the problem.  Can you find any other templates that cause the same issue?  I have copied this discussion to my talk page for any further discussion of the matter there.
