The author's name is incorrect.
Elian Doran
Hello, thank you for your spirit of observation.

The author name is read via metadata, and in the parsing process the HTML character entities are not converted to their Unicode representation.

Unless the IV developers implement an option similar to @urldecode, but decoding HTML entities instead, there is currently no solution I am aware of.

Of course, entity-encoded characters are only present for character that need them, in this case the Russian alphabet. If one is to copy the string of character displayed as author and put them into a decode tool, it would result in "Калей Роджерс".

Metadata is the best way to obtain author information because it is the most accurate.

Note to admin: Please forward my suggestion of @entitydecode, or something similar, to IV developers. It would be great. Thanks
Accepted by admin
Thank you for the suggestion. It may be added in future, but while there's no way to parse the author name perfectly, it is better not to do it. If a function like @entitydecode is added, the template will still require a rework to use it here.

Redundant picture (which was automatically generated by vice in case of unavailability "scr" attribute's data in "img" tag) does not removed from top of template. Highlighted caption does not added to the photo.
ARX8x
@admin, I request you to load the original page and check if you see the 'redundant' image in it as well. It's in my template because it's in the source.
Also, the caption isn't really used as caption. It's in the body. Please inspect that as well. It's just a bunch of bold+italic tags
Declined by admin
Agreed with creator.
Photo credits are optional.
Template #13 Issue #2
Jun 17, 2017
Hello.

As we all know, semantics are quite important in IV. Thus, the article contains two of what we address to as "pull quotes". Now the problem is that this particular template fails to recreate the behaviour.

Consider checking out my template for exemplification.

The lead paragraph (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_paragraph) has been marked as a heading of level three.

Headings that high-leveled are undesirable, especially since the site makes clear distinction it is a lead paragraph. Proof: http://i.imgur.com/w3n2Lr2.png

Checklist recommends using bold, italic or no formatting at all. But using other semantic elements is frowned upon.

There's an image here that's present in the original article but is missing from the IV page. It's loaded the same exact way author name etc are loaded in this website. Author missed it. I know the usual "the src is empty" kinda arguments will be presented but the author name is also empty by that logic and you had to use special method to get them.
If you're not sure how the image is fetched, inspect the javascript code. It will tell you.

Also, load the original page and check
Elian Doran
I am well aware you know the usual "the src is empty" kind of arguments, but here is a better one: It's the website's logo. Period.

Checklist §4: "Anything that is not essential to the article in question should be removed from the Instant View page. [...] Banners removed"

I am quite positive nobody will miss a logo that occupies a quarter of the phone's screen.

It's OK.

That could be wrong way of adding for singular photo caption which contain in itself information about all photos ("Alle Bilder") in source page if analyzing photo at all have no caption on original page.

You missed the caption in your template and why exactly are you submitting an issue on mine? Because it exists in mine? How is that an issue?

lead is broken
Elian Doran
You are quite right, it looks identical to the one on the left pane. @htmldecode had been just implemented when I submitted this template. This would be a quick fix nonetheless, thank you for reporting.

It seems to be a problem of the source.

Author says there's no caption. Then the website must be lying

Duplicated issue.
Template #29 Issue #3
Jun 19, 2017
Captions missed
ARX8x
Captions that are used as caption are perfectly parsed. These are not captions in DOM. They're used as text with different style. They appear just like in the original source.
There are more critical issues to look at.
Caption should be clearly distinguishable in DOM. Otherwise it can be problematic for other article that use the same style for something else. Since, we'll be using next-sibling for this, it can cause catastrophic effect and should be avoided
Declined by admin
It seems to be an off-formatting caption.

Please note that we no longer accept submissions of new issues in any form. As of this stage, we can only process appeals on our decisions about the issue for which the appeal was submitted.

This website is a particular one. It was impossible to create a perfect template for this domain until the three new functions were added.
This involves scraping json, decoding it, appending in paths, converting them to html etc.
What happened here is that I had to sacrifice one page for a solution that works for many many pages.
https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/vice.com/template22/issue4/
This issue and two other issues were fixed with my code. I wouldn't choose a solution that would break a large number of pages for the sake of rare one-off situations. Please consider the difficulty in making a decision here.

The IV format does not support images nested inside lists. For this stage, we needed the template creators to ensure that their templates displayed all content well or not at all. Unfortunately, leaving those ul > img like this is not an option and is a G3 issue.

This template also had a case of html tags spawning in the cover caption: https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/vice.com/template29/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthump.vice.com%2Fen_us%2Farticle%2Fyp4xpw%2Fafter-party-conversation-starters
