In tables, you may have to use 'rowspan="N" |' attributes on those entries to create long vertical boxes for them to go in.
** We're currently experiencing a problem where non-logged-in users see ''old'' versions of some pages. You can check for this by going to a page's 'History' tab (which also does not show recent versions, on affected pages), and in the 'From month' pulldown menu, select '{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}', and then hit 'Go'; all the versions ''do'' show up. Clicking on the most recent version in that list will get you the most recent text. [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 12:55, 23 May 2018 (CEST)
