Formatting changes
As much as it pains me to say it, I think the formatting issues are on your end. The articles you are changing appear just fine on our browsers, and are in fact in some cases getting broken by the changes you are making. I'd like to help you, though. What browser are you using, and what screen resolution? --OuroborosCobra talk 07:11, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Cobra is right: the tag can appear anywhere in the article body and it still appears in the same place on the finished page. The MediaWiki software is what does the formatting, and it *always* puts the category line in the same place on the page, no matter what; we have no control over that. -- Renegade54 10:06, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * ??? huh? I looked after adding blank lines and that seemed to work. :/--Marhawkman 07:19, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk pages
As a tip, on talk pages, please keep your indentation consistent throughout the section you are posting on. For example, if you are the first poster of a section, have no indentation on your first and subsequent posts throughout that section. If you are the second poster, indent once for your posts, and so on. This helps to keep track of who wrote what. Thanks --31dot 03:53, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay. I usually just indent by one...--Marhawkman 04:08, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
