The '''Daleks''' are a race of [[cyborg]]s from the [[British]] [[television]] series [[Doctor Who]]. They are the mutated remains of the Kaled people of the planet Skaro, who travel around in robotic bodies which bear a suspicious resemblance to overgrown pepper shakers. Their catchphrase was "EXTERMINATE!" |

The Daleks were first introduced in December [[1963]] in an episode of Doctor Who called variously, "The Daleks", "The Dead Planet" or "The Mutants". They immediately became a hit, and were featured in many subsequent episodes. Two movies spun off from Doctor Who featured them as the main villians, including "Doctor Who and the Daleks", and "Dalek Invasion of Earth". In addition to this, their popularity has extended to books and stage shows. |

Run-of-the-mill internal Wikepedia links ''urgently'' need to be changed from the format |

to (at the very least) |

:http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/English_language (which currently works) |

otherwise search engines will not follow these links, and Wikipedia's Google [[PageRank]], and hence traffic, may drop drastically. |

(2002/1/28 Cosmetic) special: and wikipedia: pages have title "... - encyclopedia article from Wikipedia".

(2002/1/28 Major, Mozilla-Specific?) Bug when editing with Mozilla (0.9.6/Linux). To reproduce: edit a page, write some text, then preview (everything looks ok up to here), then save.

The [[Bipolar disorder]] page is full of extra whitespace - looking at the article reveals lots of <p> </p> and <pre> </pre> spans generated. |

Also, some HTML in page comments is not being escaped out - for example, put <p> in a page comment, and see what happens. -- [[The Anome]] |

:This was caused by Bad Table Code in the article. There was no closing TR tag for the last row in the table, and an extra open TR tag after the end of the table. I've fixed the article... The parser could probably be made to be able to normalize these things, though (ie, remove table-ish tags not inside <TABLE>...</TABLE>) --[[user:Brion VIBBER|Brion Vibber]] |

The diffs are very hard to read, since the green and the yellow stuff is not interspersed. There was a recent change on [[Goedels Incompleteness Theorem]], the diff showed the '''full''' article text both in green and in yellow, but after 10 minutes I could not figure out where the change was, or whether there even was any.

In preview the three tilde symbols (~) are not replaced with the user name. -- [[user:Jan Hidders|Jan Hidders]] |

----- |
|||
The parser treats white space as significant, which is undesirable. For example, "<nowiki>=== Header ===</nowiki>" will normally produce a level three header line, but if it is followed by whitespace, it will produce a level two header line surrounded by equal signs. |
|||
Furthermore, the new parser treats equal signs as a header line even if they occur in the middle of some other text. They should only be treated as a header line if they occur on a line all by themselves. |
|||
Similarly, if a line contains only white space, the previous parser took that as a paragraph break, while the new parser treats it as a block of indented nothing, resulting in too much space between the paragraphs. [[user:AxelBoldt|AxelBoldt]] |

It's often not clear which version of the software these comments apply to. Suggestion: Write the software version number on the bottom of each page, and make this optional in the user preferences. |

Revision as of 06:19, 29 January 2002
The Daleks are a race of cyborgs from the British television series Doctor Who. They are the mutated remains of the Kaled people of the planet Skaro, who travel around in robotic bodies which bear a suspicious resemblance to overgrown pepper shakers. Their catchphrase was "EXTERMINATE!"
The Daleks were first introduced in December 1963 in an episode of Doctor Who called variously, "The Daleks", "The Dead Planet" or "The Mutants". They immediately became a hit, and were featured in many subsequent episodes. Two movies spun off from Doctor Who featured them as the main villians, including "Doctor Who and the Daleks", and "Dalek Invasion of Earth". In addition to this, their popularity has extended to books and stage shows.
Over the twenty-six seasons of the series, the Daleks underwent a number of revisions and elaborations. In the definitive episode "Genesis of the Daleks," aired in 1975, the creator of the Daleks was revealed to be the Kaled chief scientist Davros. Although Davros appeared to have been killed by his own creations at the end of the episode, he survived their attack in suspended animation and was later recovered from the ruins of Skaro by the Daleks seeking his help to enhance their design. Davros' continuing influence eventually led to a schism among the Daleks, with one faction following Davros' leadership (the "Renegade" Daleks) and another faction rejecting their creator to instead follow the Supreme Dalek (the "Imperial" Daleks).
Davros made his last appearance in the Doctor Who TV serial "Remembrance of the Daleks" simply as a head.
They were created by Doctor Who author Terry Nation.
