Line 88:
: A suggestion, install a second browser on your system - one of the major ones which displays the graphic file rather than a local MathML render, (possibly Chrome ? not sure which platform you are on ...) and start restoring visibility to any remaining formulae which you inadvertently rendered invisible on most browsers.
: That will also enable to you check that you are not further damaging the visibility of formulae in any other edits which you undertake, and may give you a little more insight into the expectations and outputs of the MediaWiki processor. Good luck, and happy repairs ! [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]])
:: I already have a second (and a few other older ones) on my system. I already explained earlier and elsewhere, that isn't possible to do any major upgrades with my current system. The FireFox browser was addressing needs and concerns that the other browsers weren't. I guess FireFox and Microsoft's Internet Explorer aren't giving me enough insights to the Wiki pre-processor, especially since I didn't even know that the pre-processor existed before this all happened!. If the pre-processor correctly handled that (missing) semi-colon, I (and a bunch of others) would still be unaware of it. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:28, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Checking with your copy of Internet Explorer would have given you that insight if you had tried. IE is a member of the majority browser class - one of those which displays the server side graphic file for the formula. If you had used it to check your edits, you would have seen immediately that they were preventing the display of that graphic file.
:::: It's very important to check the real effects of formula edits on both browser types, and particularly on the majority type. [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 18:04, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
::: Fair enough - but probably prudent, then, to suspend the cosmetic enhancement drive until you are equipped to check whether or not particular edits are eliminating legibility, rather than enhancing it, for the majority of browsers [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 14:53, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
