I'm not sure if I can post this here, but I seem to be unable to properly format my NS Wiki, it seems to enter all the text I type and display in on one, very long line...

From the main page of the wiki:

Need help? Contact either of our bureaucrats: Goobergunch · Pacitalia, or one of our sysops: Frisbeeteria · Ceorana · Swilatia · Jey · Aridd

Contacting NSwiki officials via the wiki would be a good idea.

What the heck are those dotted boxes doing there?

Whatever they are, get them gone. They're causing whatever grievances you have to grieve about.

What the heck are those dotted boxes doing there?
. . IF a line starts with a space THEN
. . it will be formatted exactly
. . as typed;
. . in a fixed-width font;
. . lines won't wrap;

. . this is useful for:
. . * pasting preformatted text;
. . * algorithm descriptions;
. . * program source code;
. . * ASCII art;
. . * chemical structures;
. . * league tables for sports roleplaying.

. . * WARNING: If you make it wide, you force
. . the whole page to be wide and hence less
. . readable, especially for people who use
. . lower resolutions. Never start ordinary lines
. . with spaces.

Amazing how helpful Help pages (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/NSwiki:Page_editing) can be. You should try them.

A quick visit to History (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php?title=Marquish&action=history) would explain why it looks normal now.
