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 using the {{stuffnew}}, {{stuffmore}} or {{stuffrevisecode}} templates, links that were on the original page disappear. | The software is interpreting the wiki markup instead of displaying it as is. | Put <nowiki> tags inside the template around the fact itself, like this: {{stuffnew|<nowiki>A fact and a [[link]] within it.</nowiki>|Title}}. |
