Please, Lloyd, do not use the {{byline}} template in the manner you were. That template is only meant to be used to add the 'Author' bit to the start of a page and adds semantic tags under certain conditions (which your use met). I've fixed the page to not use that template so your favorites list doesn't get tagged as having been written by every author who's written a story on it. -- ShadowWolf 01:37, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Whoops, my bad! I've just been copying/pasting templates from other people's pages so I'm not sure how most of it works yet. I'll be more careful in the future though, thanks for the heads up! --Lloyd
Not a problem. When I spotted that I fixed it simply because I knew it was an unintentional error. (and it gave me a chance to flex my regex muscles) -- ShadowWolf 03:50, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
