Background[]

I think the white background should be changed -- on Cornelius Fudge's page, the "Order of Merlin" piece at the beginning doesn't show up. See? Should the white background be changed? --HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 12:48, March 29, 2017 (UTC)

It's the CSS styling for <small><a> tags which for some bizarre reason is set to #fff i.e. solid white. You'll need someone with high-level access to fix that, I don't even know where to look on Wikia to find it :-( —Phil | Talk 13:22, March 29, 2017 (UTC)

It's because the background was not white when it was set that way -- it was only recently changed in an overhaul.--HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 13:57, March 29, 2017 (UTC)

Error and missing content on the home page[]

Hi there; I'm completely confused as to what the cause is, and I want to ask if it's only happening to me (which would be even odder, but still.)

The current homepage, I am unable to see the following:

In view source, they clearly are still on the page, but they aren't being displayed. I don't think it's just me, because Main Page is not showing on Category:Harry Potter Wiki, and is listed at Special:Community and Special:Insights/uncategorizedpages for needing to add a category (aka not registered as having been categorized). It is also not shown on

; I'm not seeing this template on the main page, and it's not registered as having it being placed there. Finally, I'm not seeing any of the interlanguage links.

While I don't think this is a super serious issue, I do find it peculiar, and wonder if it could be fixed. Thanks! --Sammm✦✧(talk) 22:12, October 19, 2018 (UTC)

You're right. I don't see it, too. Harry granger Talk contribs 22:30, October 19, 2018 (UTC)

It was a coding issue originating in an edit I made last month; entirely my fault. Hopefully it's fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out! -- Seth Cooper owl post! 21:53, October 21, 2018 (UTC)

Spelling[]

Encyclopedic is spelled "encyclopaedic" in a British english. --RogueOwner (talk) 10:42, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

FB3 posters[]

The Fantastic Beasts characters section should preferrably be switched to Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore posters, and I gave it a try:

Expand to see posters
Newton Scamander Theseus Scamander Jacob Kowalski Eulalie Hicks Albus Dumbledore Aberforth Dumbledore Yusuf Kama Bunty Broadacre Gellert Grindelwald Credence Barebone Queenie Goldstein Vinda Rosier

Would 4 columns be acceptable? If not, since there're 12 characters in total, they can also be arranged in 3 columns:

Expand to see posters
Newton Scamander Theseus Scamander Jacob Kowalski Eulalie Hicks Albus Dumbledore Aberforth Dumbledore Yusuf Kama Bunty Broadacre Gellert Grindelwald Credence Barebone Queenie Goldstein Vinda Rosier

The wiki doesn't seem to have a poster like this for Vicência Santos, so I didn't include Anton Vogel and Liu Tao in the gallery, since these three should probably be all in or all out. If a poster for Santos can be found, then we can consider putting these three in as well. MalchonC (talk) 16:57, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

File:SOD - character profile - Vicência Santos.png. - MrSiriusBlack Talk 17:04, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Oh, I missed it because I was only looking in Category:Images from Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore and it wasn't sorted in that one. Then the three can be added, if it's not too long. Also, since it's going to be arranged in three columns, the sequence can probably be changed a bit:

Expand to see posters
Newton Scamander Theseus Scamander Jacob Kowalski Albus Dumbledore Aberforth Dumbledore Credence Barebone Eulalie Hicks Yusuf Kama Bunty Broadacre Gellert Grindelwald Queenie Goldstein Vinda Rosier Anton Vogel Liu Tao Vicência Santos

So that row 2 are characters who are/allegedly are from the Dumbledore family, row 4 are Grindelwald and his supporters, and row 5 are other characters related to the Supreme Mugwump election. MalchonC (talk) 17:10, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Credence Barebone[]

"Credence Barebone" should be changed into "Aurelius Dumbledore", but I have no rights to edit the Main Page. Can someone please correct it? Thanks :) - Peregino (talk) 12:34, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

It's a major spoiler element though so not sure if we should change it. MalchonC (talk) 12:36, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
