Fixing LaTeX in articles
[edit]
Helped
!! IT WONT LET ME POST ON HELP DESK SO IM POSTING HERE, SORRY IF I USED THE TEMPLATE WRONG !!
Hi! I've noticed that a lot of LaTeX in articles is broken (or at least appears as such to me). I tried to fix it in the past by replacing it with non-latex solutions, but my edit was reverted. I am not upset at my edit being reverted, but I do still want to fix this. It just looks like unrendered LaTeX to me:
$ PSL_{2}{\bigl (}\mathbb {Z} [{\tfrac {1}{p}}]{\bigr )} $ (Excerpt taken from Jennifer Taback)
I have also noticed it at Turing machine and several other articles. Is this a problem with my wikipedia prefrences or with the LaTeX itself? If it's the LaTeX, what is the correct way to fix it? Thank you! ▰▱ Plural ▱▰ Talk 13:49, 24 August 2026 (UTC)
- I just checked and it seems to be working for me. Can you go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering and check that the Math section is set to "MathML with SVG image (server side MathJax rendering)"? FlammablePizza (talk) 14:11, 24 August 2026 (UTC)
- It works! Thank you so much! ▰▱ Plural ▱▰ Talk 14:57, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

Secondly, the medals start tomorrow and some sports have multiple medals, so might need your help with columns and rows from the sport to the event. Then in following days, i can ust use that template.Psephguru (talk) 04:55, 19 September 2026 (UTC)
- This coding is cracking my head in. How do you put a note that the medalist was determined prior to gold/silver in the current table?Psephguru (talk) 10:17, 19 September 2026 (UTC)
- I can add footnotes or tooltips as you need, if you tell me the exact text you need and which cell it applies to. Please also tell me which other columns or rows you need, so that I can add those as well! Just leave a message here with the exact details, and I'll get the calendar fixed!
