Broke paragraph indention somehow with a nested table
Indenting the following table causes the paragraph indention to become locked. Why?
 * {| border="0"

|   | |}


 * {| border="0"


 * }
 * }
 * }

 * Indenting tables isn't guaranteed to work. MediaWiki generates HTML from wiki mark-up, but not always the way you might expect. -- 19:11, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * BTW

{| style="border: none; margin-left: 1.6em;"

 * ... although wrapping tables in tables is kludgey. And the heights don't line up.

 * I'm hesitant to force indentions by using px or em unites, as this will cause a formatting inconsistency within the article. The  is great for this, as regardless of the viewers display settings, it will always behave as a constant when used by any author, as intended.   normally works, but it seems in this one instant something in the source isn't behaving and compiling the HTML as intended, something I believe to be a bug. Is that the case or have I misunderstood how the wiki-markup table is supposed to behave? I also cleaned up my original post as the formatting was rather sloppy, and wrapped the problem table and its formatting in a div tag so further discussion is not touched by the bug(?) -- Heaven Sent (talk) 22:12, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * : indents as specified by site CSS, which is 1.6em. The only problem should be if someone has specified a different value in their personal CSS. -- 00:17, March 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * The problem with that is Wikia's mobile pages don't seem to import the CSS; things indented with  display as indented, but table style values are ignored. Viewing this page on both physical and emulated Mobile devises and tablets (Note 3/iPhone 6+/Samsung Tab 10.1) displayed the tables with   indentions as indented, but the tables with   are not indented.
 * For the time being, indenting certain tables like this will suffice for me, but to adhere to Wikia's best practices I shouldn't be using nested tables since they don't render correctly either. For the most part, I'm happy with continuing to use  where it's applicable, and use   in the rare situation I need to break from best practices.

 * Why are you trying to indent a table on wikiamobile in the first place? Mobile viewers have a substantially narrower screen, you shouldn't be trying to force them to scroll sideways.


 * I'm the only person who rotates phones and tablets into landscape mode? Our eyes are vertically spaced, why read pages in portrait mode? Heaven Sent (talk) 02:06, March 13, 2015 (UTC)

Exporting Exchange Data
Hi I'm trying to export historical (and future) ge data on specific items to an excel sheet. How would I go about doing this? Thanks!


 * Unfortunately, there's not a particularly easy way to go about this currently. The data is stored on subpages of Module:Exchange, e.g. Module:Exchange/Iron ore/Data. The /Data subpage has a list of dates and prices, sometimes with the volume (in millions) depending on if it appeared on the top 100 traded items for that day, in the format data:price or date:price:volume (date is measured in unix time, per the format used by the Jagex API it's pulled from).
 * I have no idea what sort of format excel requires, but hopefully this is enough information for you to start building what you want :)
