On wiki pages, anything that's marked as small caps by AC: is moved to a new line, such as this. This creates issues with pages that uses them excessively, such as quotes from Discworld's Death. I suggest either fixing the CSS entries for ".article-content span.asscaps" by removing "display: block" or change AC:

Get out of my mind, idea! I already have an idea in there!

So to clarify, this is in fact a bug?

It's a misfeature. We were using AC for media category headings so we incorrectly thought that it should be treated like the !! heading markup. That was a mistake that has yet to be fixed.

So it's a "feature" with unintended consequences, then.

[up] The admins are the ones who make the coding changes, and there's no telling if/when this will be addressed.

I noticed that AC makes all the letters bold. Like this. What does AC stand for?

It stands for "asscaps", probably because whoever named it thought it looked like ass—especially given the newline issue.

Just found and removed the display:block from asscaps CSS. I'll try to request to push it live soon since its just a quick hotfix.

UPDATE: This has now been fixed, please hard refresh and clear your cache if it still persists.
