Asked for help

Adfeno:

• I specifically need your help to fix all issues at https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Free_Software_Directory:Backlog#Semantic_Forms. --David Hedlund (talk) 17:47, 14 January 2018 (EST)
  • I attempted to fix this but it seems that something is interfering with the formatting. Strangely enough, if I make a simple page without the form, and use the IRC template, it works as expected. I don't know if this is the case, but I think there is some template interfering.--Adfeno (talk) 23:23, 26 January 2018 (EST)
  • As requested in #fsf IRC channel, here is the comment I made there, describing my studies so far:
    • It basically involves three templates (it might involve more, but I only researched three so far) Template:Print entry Template:Entry and Template:Show. There is a fourth one (Template:IRC) but I think we might be able to replace it (if I'm not mistaken one of the other three calls it, so we can instead of calling it: take the code from it and insert in the caller template).
    • I think there is so far the following possibilities:
      1. an issue between the templates used;
      2. an issue with the #ask: queries and the template result format;
      3. we have reached a setting limit that makes the formatting not work (perhaps a limit on the template result format, although I have tried to remove the call to Template:IRC but it didn't work, we might have to make tests by simplifying the template result calls even further to see if this is indeed the problematic setting);
      4. an issue with the "IRC [level name]" properties when setting (#set:) or their query and display.
