== The Community Portal's design ==
 
 
 
{{tl|Community portal}} looks too Wikipedia-ish (because that's where I got it).  Someone who can design things should probably fix that.  It isn't protected for the time being, though it probably will be in the future (high-visibility template).  --''[[User:Philosopher|Philosopher]]''&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Philosopher|Let us reason together.]]</sup> 00:54, 4 August 2012 (EDT)
 
 
 
== Common mistake ==
 
 
 
This affects all pages that ever say "alt text" in reference to the TITLE text on xkcd images.  "Alt text" is incorrect; Alt text refers to the text that is shown as an alternative when images are not displayed.  Title text is what xkcd uses and is shown as a tool tip-like bubble when images are hovered over.
 
 
 
I would correct this myself but I saw no way to edit the main page. --[[User:Jillysky|Jillysky]] ([[User talk:Jillysky|talk]]) 14:21, 6 August 2012‎ (UTC)
 
 
 
:You actually don't need to edit the main page to fix it, as what's there is just a mirror (transclusion) of the actual content from the comic page, at [[Curiosity]], which is open for editing by anyone. Then again, the "alt-text" in that case is generated by a template, {{tl|comic}}, so that's where we should fix this. The template's code, however, is currently a terrible mess (sorry!), so I went ahead and took care of it. Thanks for catching that! --[[User:Waldir|Waldir]] ([[User talk:Waldir|talk]]) 16:24, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 
 
 
:Ah? So it's wrong, for instance, on http://m.xkcd.com? because of that I took it for granted that we could call it the alt-text... - [[User:Cos|Cos]] ([[User talk:Cos|talk]]) 17:38, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 
 
 
:: Yes. If you look at the page's html source, you'll see:
 
<nowiki><img
 
id="comic"
 
src="http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/curiosity.png"
 
title="As of this writing the NASA/JPL websites are still overloaded. Trying CURIOSITY-REAR-CAM_[256px_x_256px].torrent.SwEsUb.DVDRip.XviD-aXXo.jpg instead."
 
alt="Curiosity"></nowiki>
 
::(line breaks added for clarity) --[[User:Waldir|Waldir]] ([[User talk:Waldir|talk]]) 23:54, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 
 
 
:::That was my error in the template. I knew "image text" that has been commonly used by Jeff was not techically correct, but I didn't actually go back and confirm it was alt text before I included that tag in the template. That's to Waldir (I believe?) for correcting the template. [[User:TheHYPO|TheHYPO]] ([[User talk:TheHYPO|talk]]) 14:14, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
