Please update your wiki pages!

by Cat Scratch

Hi everyone, Please please update wiki pages with event details and a contact person. I am going to try over the next week to get our National 24hr broadcaster ABC24 to do a story about teams all over the world. But so many registered teams on the map have NO details on their page. And there's no way of knowing what is actually happening. So Please! I beg you, put the basic details of your event on your wiki page, and an email address or phone number of a contact person. Add a link to your own page if you have one. It's a global event. We deserve global media coverage, but it's very very hard to get that if the details can't be found. Also - if you do have coverage - remember to update this year's Press page. We have had great coverage in past year's but not so much this year! http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Marketing/Press Or is there another page somewhere that I am missing? -- Software Freedom Day 2010 http://sfd.org.au/melbourne A world wide celebration of State Library of Victoria Free and Open Source Software Cnr Swanston & Latrobe Sts, Melbourne and the community behind it. 11am - 4pm, Saturday 18 September Supported by Vicnet, The Victorian Government & Linux Australia

I changed the line at the top of the page from: = Fossbox = to = London City Fringe = When I saved, I got this: ## page was renamed from 2010/Europe/United Kingdom/London = London City Fringe = and I couldn't save the page properly any more - the draft is still present and correct and it previews correctly but when I save changes it loses formatting and chops off the bottom of the text (looks like a 'teaser' but without formatting). I changed the line at the top back to = Fossbox = but it's still showing the change of name line and I still can't save edits properly. I can't reload previous versions either but the link from the Team List page still works fine. I have no idea how to fix it.
