Yesterday night I have worked for more than 2 hours to get the special 
characters nicely in a html table. Today, I find it is overwritten. My 
edits are still in the history, but it doesn't matter whether I change 
MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning or Sjabloon:Copyrightwarning (sjabloon is 
Dutch for template). I never see the javascript stuff to allow the 
insertion of accented characters. So what is going on? The accented 
characters as I was making them, would allow the easy insertion of 
accented characters in French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, 
Romanian, Esperanto and a lot of other languages and I had just gotten 
started on the IPA symbols. I was planning to introduce them to the 
other Wiktionaries as well, as soon as I had them done nicely in 
nl.wiktionary.org. Now they don't show up anymore. This is on the Dutch 
Wiktionary, but apparently the same thing has happened on the other 
Wiktionaries.
