Any way to show the newer version?

It appears to correct itself. I don't know if it was because I increased it to 401 px rather than 400 px, or if it just takes time to appear.--Dmm1169 (talk) 23:16, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My thanks once again to you all. Jgstokes (talk) 04:50, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your work on this!!! The only concern I have of developing a separate page is that changes made between now (ie. updates to references, language, stats, etc.) still get incorporated. One big update is that I'm guessing membership statistics will be updated between now and then. Thanks! Dmm1169 (talk) 16:41, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That has been a problem we've been dealing with for years. But I found a way around it that works. When August 1 rolls around each year, I copy nnd paste in the text from the subpge to this page, citing established policy in the edit summary and including an html link back to the page history on the subpage so anyone can see it. I had to start doing it that way around 5-7 years ago when I no longer had the help of someone with administrative rights who could merge the subpage and its' history into these main pages. So that's the workaround I found for that. If you know of a better method, please let me know. Thanks. Jgstokes (talk) 03:11, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Table format issue when area headers are combined in same table.[edit]

I'm using "Make headers of tables display as long as the table is in view, i.e. "sticky" (requires Chrome v91+, Firefox v59+, or Safari)" option "under the Testing and Development" section in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets. This feature has been great when viewing other long tables until seeing a table like this where the entire Africa Central header shows up as I scroll down. Simply adding a break to each table should eliminate this issue.

I'm going to separate each section as separate tables to eliminate this issue. Thanks.-- Dmm1169 (talk) 22:38, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Venezuela to Change Areas in August[edit]

Effective August 1, oversight for the nation of Venezuela will transition from the South America Northwest Area to the Caribbean Area. My thanks once again to you all. User:Jgstokes (talk)—We can disagree without becoming disagreeable. 22:12, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
