Multifile template: multiple Sample Images (Preview Filename) not supported

This has been supported for a while, but not documented. Just use "Preview Filename 1=" etc; the file entry will fall back to the default "Preview Filename=" if no specific entry is found for that file. --Feldmahler 09:22, 17 June 2008 (EDT)

it's "Sample Filename 1=" etc, but doesn't work

Filetemplate is messed up in IE6
Search capabilities are seriously hampered by mediawiki. Add google search like on wikipedia.
Special:Upload does NOT show the custom warning in languages other than English
File template: if typeset, it should say 'Typeset Quality' instead of 'Scan Quality'
#iflang doesn't work with tables inside the function -- workaround uses the pipe symbol in Template:!
autotag on the work page dissapeared - on purpose?
Some pages failed to be updated by the bot (e.g. Quartet for Oboe & Strings, Op.37 (Dotzauer, Justus Friedrich)). They show up in Special:Uncategorizedpages.
link to IMSLP from IMDBP is red
something prevents the new languages (ca, da, ko, sv, zh) from being added to the left pane. They are temporarily commented out in OtherLangs:Main Page.
Bug in downloading file versions: see [1].
