Current bugs

• Don't you think it would be easier if the formatting system with regards to new lines and spaces between pragraphs were more standard? I don't know if you guys are trying to limit the number of small, cheap paragraphs in articles but i think that formatting is important in articles and also that in humour, rythmic spacial relliefe is important. --31.125.232.67 02:35, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
• I think you need to modify your algorithms for the search system. I started writing a stub article on my user page; "The Golf War" after searching "The Golf War" and finding nothing remotely rellevent. After almost finnishing, minus some requested images, I later searched "Golf War" and was immediately redirected. bfw, MINE'S FUNNIER! --31.125.232.67 02:35, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
• The little green man in the top left corner of the Featured template that says FEATURED! is too far down on the page, hardly in the top left corner at all! -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 00:29, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Unless I'm mistaken the site notice is pushing that down, along with a couple other things. The colonized logo on the top of the Great Britain page, along with the page Aleister posted above are having the same issue. The Woodburninator Minimal Effort ™ 04:20, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  Anything which uses "absolute position" HTML attributes to try to paste text or images over top of the page title area or the site logo is likely not working, as a position which might've looked OK in monobook is usually a wee bit too low on the page on vector. There are better ways to do this sort of thing; the 'displaytitle' function in MediaWiki or installation of extensions to override logos on a per-page basis or insert CSS into individual pages. Carlb (talk) 03:03, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  I don't understand a word you're saying. Aleister 3:15 5-1-'13

  A <css> </css> plugin could be useful indeed. Otherwise, there is a solution for the logo-alignment problem: use the same id, but insert different values for those same id at vector.css or monobook.css. R7 (NL) 14:32, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  The <css> tag code (as used on nl: pt: et al.) was posted to mw:Extension_talk:NewPageCSS#Outputs_nonsense. There is another Extension:CSS which does the same job but with different syntax, #css: as a parser tag. Either would be useful. Carlb (talk) 20:13, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  The latter is already installed, but neither, for security reasons, support image backgrounds. -— Lyrithya ༆ 02:36, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

  It looks like someone needs to write a js to reposition the featured stamp, since the vector skin doesn't have any good hooks for an extension to use (and skizzerz' idea of putting it in the logo image was brilliant but unfortunately just didn't work). js would work perfectly to account for the sitenotice which is added in js anyway, the main thing apt to push the stamp down, and also for long titles, though anyone with js off will still see a mis-positioned stamp for the latter. -— Lyrithya ༆ 16:01, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Now when I read about putting the featured image in the logo, I was thinking about the constructure of #p-logo, which excists out of "#p-logo" and "#p-logo a". Now, normally, the image itself is located at #p-logo a, which causes it to click on it to go to the main page. When I move this background-image from #p-logo a to #p-logo itself, and putting the featured image instead on #p-logo a, it is placed above the potato and is adjustable with (negative) margins and paddings. I think this will fix it. Only thing to rethink about is namespaces. This only does work with main-space articles. Or there must be all different sorts of templates be created for those namespaces.

#p-logo {
   background-image: url("http://images.uncyclomedia.co/uncyclopedia/en/b/bc/Wiki.png") !important;
   background-repeat: no-repeat !important;
   background-position: 50% 50% !important;
}
#p-logo a { 
   background-image: url("http://images.uncyclomedia.co/uncyclopedia/en/thumb/2/2f/Featured.png/190px-Featured.png") !important;
   background-repeat: no-repeat !important;
   background-position: -5px 40% !important;
   padding-left:10px !important;
   margin-left:-10px !important;
   padding-right:20px !important;
}

For me, this just works nice. By the way, these <nowiki>'s in the source code should be gone of course. R7 (NL) 12:11, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

• Various pages are hotlinking images from Wikia or contain clickable links to point to articles left behind on uncyclopedia.wikia.com. The {{FA}} template does this and uses an absolute-position which places the image over the site name instead of behind the logo. Many signatures used [http://...uncyclopedia.../wiki/Pagename http://images.wikia.../a/ab/SomeImage.png] instead of [[Image:SomeImage.png|link=Pagename]] as the link= parameter didn't exist pre-MW1.14 or so. This may need a search-and-replace so that we are not linking to Wikia for any reason.

  Fixed {{FA}}, but you're right, there are a lot of pages with hard links. Working on a search-and-replace as we speak. Kinda. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sat, Jan 5 '13 11:54 (UTC)

• Someone with 'l33t admin p0w3rz needs to go through Special:Allmessages and fix links to Wikia in MediaWiki: pages (the system messages). I did one just now, but quite a lot are things like site CSS, etc. and should be done by someone who knows precisely what they're doing - David Gerard (talk) 15:10, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

  Roger! That is one useful page, and I've been looking for something like it for a while. A cursory examination shows that someone else has apparently removed all of the Wikia references that aren't supposed to be there. If anybody finds any MediaWiki pages that still link to Wikia resources, please let me or someone else know. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Thu, Jan 24 '13 1:47 (UTC)

• Special:Shortpages is giving some odd results. UnBooks talk:The Old Man and LV shows up as 54 bytes, whereas I count at least 64. Editing the page (null edit) seems to have had no impact. There are other non-short short pages in that list as well. It seems to be pages that Aleister has created that are affected, so I blame his evil coding genius. Nominally Humane! 10:46 06 Jan
• Reports such as special:wantedpages are not being generated. Carlb (talk) 21:12, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

  Should just require $php updateSpecialPages.php being run, however we already have a few other maintenance scripts running, so its low priority until then. This Is Not Legoktm (talk) 01:34, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

• My userpage is all screwed up. Not only does the sigexpand code not work, but a few of the images don't seem to have been transferred properly. ~[ths] UotM 01:50, 01/08/2013

  @Dan: Since nopony wants to answer your question, I'll answer it: you're screwed. Ha ha! -- Кıяву ^Тαгк _{Сойтяıвs} 2013-01-11T01:20

  If it's still broken, I'm afraid you'll have to try to update the code yourself to use the current formatting and such. If you notice any wider issues that might be causing trouble in general, in particular on other pages, please report those as well. (I couldn't find any, but didn't look too hard.) -— Lyrithya ༆ 18:18, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

  Oh nonononono, you don't understand. My userpage used to only display the menu at the upper right hand corner of the screen when hovered over, but now it displays it all the time. DO NOT WANT. And many of the images have somehow stopped working. DO NOT WANT. Not only that, but I found a bug on this page that I also found on the "Redundancy" page: the fake edit buttons on the side of <h2> tags have stopped working. DO NOT WANT. And I have no idea how to fix any of this, and the bug still isn't resolved. So in other words, I'm moving it back to "Current Bugs" until it is fully resolved. ~[ths] UotM 21:19, 01/12/2013

  I can probably fix that for ya THS, but I've got a shitload of other stuff what needs a-doin' first, so it may be a while. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sun, Jan 13 '13 22:15 (UTC)

  Okay, for the record, many of the issues I've brought up have been fixed (thanks, Lyrithya). The only one that hasn't was the fake "edit" button that is still a problem on my userpage and on the Redundancy page. ~[ths] UotM 22:25, 01/19/2013

Notice and tab-line.

• Small layout bug concerning the vector tabs. There is this small blue line when the talk tab is missing. Probably editing the margins, or so. R7 (NL) 10:23, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Update: I have re-uploaded the image - when having an edit-conflict, this Array-string-notice appears. R7 (NL) 10:28, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

• When I moved my CSS file to User:Qzekrom/vector.css (twice—the first time with a redirect and the second time without leaving one), I got this text at the top: Array to string conversion in /var/www/mediawiki/core/includes/User.php on line 1522. No real problems, though. Sir CuteKyuremOnTheRadio [CUN • PBJ'12 • PLS(0) • Stuy'16] 14:47, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

• I'm not sure if it's a bug or not (or if this is the right place to post this), but it seems quite odd that on VFH, the article's entry is different to the one on the full VFH page - For example - >this one on the main page< and >its individual page< - They're completely different. - S^tr_ai_n^j1 07:44, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Looking at it a bit more thoroughly, It seems to just be an issue with that article - So I went to rollback my previous post (^) - and hit another issue - The message "Notice: Array to string conversion in /var/www/mediawiki/core/includes/User.php on line 1522" popped up at the top of the page. - S^tr_ai_n^j1 07:58, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

About the VFH thing: the individual voting page is actually an earlier VFH attempt which failed. The current VFH page is located here: Uncyclopedia:VFH/Don't vote for my dog! (don't vote), and is what appears on the main page of VFH. Not a bug, but it can be confusing. --Snippy 08:12, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

• Admin People Problems: "Block," "delete," etc tabs at top don't show up. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 00:38, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  "delete" and them should be in the dropdown (mouse over that down arrow at the far right, next to the search bar). We're using the Vector skin (aka same skin as Wikipedia), so things will be slightly different than they were on monobook. --Skizzerz 00:58, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  "Monobook" is available on special:preferences as an option, but "Uncyclopedia" (a copy of Monobook, don't remember why exactly this was created) is no longer a valid skin name. Carlb (talk) 01:37, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  Mmmmmm nope that dropdown menu isn't there. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 01:40, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

• How meta of me. I found a bug while creating this thread. On the Forum:Village Dump page, the "create an article" text field creates pages with two "Forum:"'s in the title instead of one. So this thread's title would be "Forum:Forum:A thread for discussion of the subject of the reporting of the various bugs of the Uncyclopedia" if I weren't so wonderfully skilled in URL manipulation. --Andorin Kato 20:55, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

  Fixed, was an issue with the CreateBox extension adding the prefix twice. --Skizzerz 23:50, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

• Existing redirects (such as British → Great Britain) aren't redirecting and appear on special:shortpages unless edited to change at least one byte.

  Some crappy pages do a crappy job at being valid redirects and they'll have to be fixed manually by editing them. --Skizzerz 06:12, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  Would refreshLinks.php --redirects-only work? Carlb (talk) 06:21, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  Already ran it. The issue is some pages aren't valid redirect pages, such as Comic books. --Skizzerz 06:29, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

• I tried to revert to a naked picture but it won't transfer to the page. Aleister 2:45 5-1-

• Also, this! Some articles are being wonky. Probably because of page moves, or something. Click the blue "this" to learn more. --Andorin Kato 20:55, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

  They all seem to be articles that have been moved at some point quite recently. ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 03:31, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  Solution is to simply import them. I am doing some now. ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 04:03, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  The only fix for something like Monopoly (game), where the current revision is broken but the article otherwise exists, may be to delete and then immediately undelete the page. It's been a while since I've seen this but think that worked before. Carlb (talk) 05:01, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  Issue seems to have been fixed. ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 06:38, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

• My pages are loading slow. And it looks like the article talk pages weren't brought over, I link them on my user page and they've all turned red (I think all, or most of them if not all) some of them have turned red (a fix may occurred, or I was confusing the color with a mango or something). Aleister 00:18 Birthday of this place
  • Things should get faster after we turn on caching. Dunno about the other thing, though. May have been a links issue. -— Lyrithya ༆ 06:55, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

• The "Title" replacement isn't working on my user page, but seems to work on Ann Coulter. And whoops, the "find an article" feature which shows the options on the page isn't here (when I wrote "Ann Coulter" it should tell me the options as I type). Aleister 2:57

  It should. I imported it directly from wikia and it has "article_namespace == 0" so I'm not sure what's wrong. I'll take a look at it in a bit. This Is Not Legoktm (talk) 03:01, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  Should be fixed now, I think the issue was that the UnNews namespace wasn't set up properly. This Is Not Legoktm (talk) 07:59, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

• unne.ws articles will not display the corresponding talk page, even if it already exists. UnNews:"Don't worry, you'll meet somebody," says girl. has a nice blue "Discussion" link. Click on it and you get the cybernetic equivalent of "if you don't know why I'm upset with you, I'm not going to tell you". The tabs on that blank talk page point to UnNews, [[Talk:UnNews talk:"Don't worry, you'll meet somebody," says girl.|Discussion]] so they can't be used to go back to the unne.ws article from the missing talk page. Special:Allpages/UnNews talk: draws a blank. Weird namespace problem? Carlb (talk) 00:37, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  Is this an issue with unne.ws? -— Lyrithya ༆ 02:23, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

• I found one Redirect that isn't working properly: Dane Cook. It isn't redirecting, and is instead showing a Red Link. But you can click on the Red Link, and it will take you to the correct page. I've checked a few other redirects, and they are working fine. Not sure if this is a problem with one particular page, or a larger issue. The Woodburninator Minimal Effort ™ 06:38, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  Edit the redirect, change any byte, save. Redirect starts working. This is a larger issue as it is happening with many redirects. The affected redirects are showing up on special:shortpages and are treated as ordinary pages by special:randompage. Carlb (talk) 09:00, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  The /vector.js page was attempting to use the Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) library, which has been deprecated even on Wikia for a while. I attempted to fix it (and also tweaked the coding style and cleaned up your /vector.css page a bit) by converting the offending YUI code to jQuery — it's not a perfect 1:1 conversion, as BB told me yesterday, but I'm hoping it's close enough. And by close enough I mean "I hope it works well enough so that you can actually use the site". -- Jack Phoenix, professional killer admin (Whine?) • (Wikia ♥ ads) 13:45, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

• The {{nologo}} template is broken, and it is still showing the Uncyc logo. |Si Plebius Dato' Joe ang Giratina CUN|IC Kill | 09:09, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  Most likely, that template just crudely attempts to paste some other image over the logo - if the position is wrong (and it will differ between skins) then that trick doesn't work properly. There are other ways to replace the logo, but they require installation of an extension. That's what pt: has done for years now on pages like Rede Globo. Carlb (talk) 09:18, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  According to WP, "It is also possible to put section links inside redirects (these work only if JavaScript is enabled).

  There is nothing wrong with your brain. If you try editing those Pee Review requests that are missing from the Pee Review page by sticking in a space somewhere and then saving, it should resolve the problem. If not, I can delete and undelete, which should solve it. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sun, Jan 6 '13 9:34 (UTC)

Thirdly can someone please tell me how I can submit an idea with some quantity of description appended to it? Fourthly, cock.

Socky, try using this instead: &#8201; (HTML entity reference for "thin space"). If you hit CTRL+U on your keyboard (depending on the browser), you can view the source of the page, and see that <span> has been stripped out entirely. Possibly because it contains nothing but whitespace? I'm going with HTML Tidy as the culprit. : D ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sun, Jan 6 '13 9:09 (UTC)

• lollol look at what happened in those pages I embedded pics, lol, someone take a screen shot please. Aleister minutes later

  Aleister, sweetheart, I believe that's due to this thing we're using called "HTML Tidy" which ...tidies up your markup. HTML's specifications say you can't use a <div> inside a <span>, I think, so when the server gives your computer the page, it has the <span class="sighidden"> part stripped out. So, yeah. Either we'll need to fix up these pages as we come across them, or else tweak HTML Tidy. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sat, Jan 5 '13 11:31 (UTC)

  We can't use <div> inside <h8> either anymore. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 01:12, 6 January 2013

  a <div> element isn't valid inside an <h[n]> tag, according to the specifications, so use a <span> instead. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sun, Jan 6 '13 9:15 (UTC)

  If someone can take a look at getting the {{PopupImage}} template to work using {{#css: }} and handle input more sanely, that would probably be a good way to solve these. You'd just have to swap for using the template. -— Lyrithya ༆ 00:31, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

  Links to meta: are redlinked. Carlb (talk) 17:32, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

  The interwiki link to Stupidedia (Austria) is bar: on every Uncyclopedia which links there except for en:, where the only interwiki for this wiki is de-st:. This will be a problem if a 'bot is used to create interwiki links as the 'bot is expecting the same language prefixes across multiple wikis. Carlb (talk) 00:51, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Nope, that would be my fault; I'm still ironing out issues with the mail system. Check your spam folder; Yahoo (for one) didn't seem to like our notifications, but was sorted out.

In page search

The in page search function is moving slow if at all (I don't know the tech term, it's when you do a search while editing by started it [[HowTo:Beet , and then the "off" doesn't show as an option). This goes for pics [[File:Abra , as well, although Wikia uncy doesn't in-page file pics where you can scan the pics by using the up and down aarows. I too am amazed at how much work and time a group of people have put into this, and it's lucky we have coding geniuses so interested in keeping this site afloat. Thanks. Aleister 14:17 7-1-'13

I'm not too sure how this is supposed to work, because my Internet connection is so slow that I usually have Javascript turned off, and so I've never used the feature. Could be an issue with the new fancy editor. Try Lyrithya's advice from up above:

“ Alternately you can turn [the new editor] off in your preferences. Go to editing, uncheck 'enhanced editing toolbar' under beta features, and if you want the old one instead, make sure 'Show edit toolbar (requires JavaScript)' is checked. ”

If I understood you I'd do it, but I'll try it later. You've never used it? That's how I do almost all my links and used to do lots of pictures, you could get an entire list of existing pages, and used to get a list of pictures which you could schroll down using the up and down keys. Both tools are among my favorites on uncyclopedia. Thanks for doing all those in=page pop=jups yesterday, that was tedious work. I found a few more but I'll try to do them later following your code.

Minor issue in SpecialPages

There's some HowTo and UnBooks talk pages listed on Special:UncategorizedPages. Did You Know was also uncategorized. I also ran across some articles from 2005 and 2006 though I just re-redirected them again. I'm also seeing the occasional red link to foreign uncyclopedias. MadMax (talk) 12:23, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

I noticed the interwiki red link problem too, on Esperanto for example (check the recent history) -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 15:14, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

MadMax: what do you mean you "ran across some articles from 2005 and 2006"?

On the interwiki issue: it is being dealt with (very, very, verrrrry slowly, mainly because I'm the one dealing with it). See Carlb's comments on it above, and the two forums about them. And also my talk page, Carlb's and Cartoonist Henning's.

If you see an interwiki link that is broked, get back to me on mah talk page. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sun, Jan 13 '13 22:32 (UTC)

Specifically, I redirected:

• Samuel L. Jackson, a page I originally redirected back in 2006. The original one-liner was there even though my edit was still in the history. I did the same thing with Playstation.
• iPods, a quote written by Famine from 2005. I merged it with iPod though it was most likely redirected to that article on the old site.
• Suxx0r, a quote written by Codeine from 2005. I merged it with Ancient Leet language.
• Quotes4, Quote37, and Quote38 were Oscar Wilde quotes from 2005 that I assume were from the old Wilde project.

Mandate and Plus are also 2005 articles. I don't know if there's an expanded version of these on the old site.

I've seen more than a few pages now with red interwiki links. Is this something that will eventually be fixed or should I remove them when I see them? MadMax (talk) 12:39, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Here are some other odd pages that are listed:

• Video 293849, Video 295425, Video 296038, Video 296044, Video 296639, Video 297947, Video 298839, Video 299534, Video 300199, Video 300470, Video 300626, Video 300996, Video 301734, and Video 302180. They were created in 2008 but they don't seem to be part of an article.
• [[Furries (duplicate)]], [[Star wars (duplicate)]], [[Star wars (duplicate)]], an [[Zoology (duplicate)]]. These were never created but continue to be listed in the Special pages.
• , [[eo:Bonaqualogy]], and [[it:Silent Hill]]. I'm not sure if this is related to the interwiki problem but pages like this were also on the old site's special pages. The first one exists as an article on this website and originally created in 2007.

Aww, the duplicates can't actually be accessed? They were this funny thing that came with the dump off wikia - multiple page ids to a single title, so to import them we renamed some of them to 'title (duplicate)' and... damn. Would have been funnier had they actually wound up accessible. Guess someone will have to look into those on the database end again. -— Lyrithya ༆ 21:36, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

The "Video ######" rubbish seems to have been from a kaltura.org extension which Wikia installed in 2008, even though we never wanted it. There was a short-lived namespace created for these at one point. We never used it and these can be safely deleted. Articles starting with it: and eo: conflict with language prefixes (Italian, Esperanto). Italian was one of the early projects moved to a separate Wikia (these mostly fall between June 2005 with fr: as the first "other language" spinoff and April 2006 when languages with existing pages like pt: and zh-tw: started being moved from en:'s Babel: namespace to non-Wikia *.uncyclopedia.info domains instead of created as Wikia with incompatible licenses) and eo: was likely a little more recent. The articles with it: and eo: were likely created before these existed as seperate wikis (or at least before Wikia got around to creating the interwiki links). bg: is Bulgarian and was one of the more recent additions. Not sure what's up with the ones with (duplicate) in the titles? Carlb (talk) 16:27, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Fixing red links in WantedPages

Would it be alright to start redirecting pages in Special:WantedPages? Automobile, for example, should redirect to Car but are pages still being imported at this point? There are also miscellaneous pages currently listed (e.g. [[%PAGE%‏‎]], [[M:Religion and Wikipedia‏‎]], and various interwiki links) that link up to 100+ articles. MadMax (talk) 13:47, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

We should have all the pages imported, so have at it. Only thing I know of that's still missing are some files (and only the files themselves, not the description pages) and we should have those in the next couple days. -— Lyrithya ༆ 21:33, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks. MadMax (talk) 21:38, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Broken redirects?

I got strange result when I typed in Happy slapping. It should redirect to HowTo:Happy slap, and that's what the page points to, but the page itself shows up as a broken redirect. MadMax (talk) 21:38, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

See the notes up above. This is a known issue; we're going to have to figure out how to deal with it on a mass scale, but until then, feel free to delete the offending redirect and then undelete it. That seems to fix it. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Tue, Jan 15 '13 1:42 (UTC)

Fixing links to wikia

I think I've gotten most of the external links pointing to the old wikia site. I'm assuming specific mentions on articles, talk, and user pages (e.g. John Scherer/Outrage!/Response) are to be left alone?

There's a lot of nomination pages on VFH, Pee Review, etc. that use the wikia.com address in the title. Similarly, there's links on plenty of the forums as well. There were some wikia image links that wouldn't display in preview when I tried fixing them. Will external links for uncyclopedia.org need to be changed too? MadMax (talk) 17:31, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Technically, everything is adjustable, but I don't know what Uncyc's userpage policy says: is someone's userpage entirely his property, or can we make the changes which are - in my view - not harmful to the content's context? We're basicly not wiping out every W*k*a-link from the article base since each change to the content is logged in the page history. But hey: what about using a robot? There must be scripts around somewhere | Cartoonist | Spit it out! | 03:05, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

The problem with a script is that several of them have context, examples coming from the move to the wikia domain in 2008 from the .org domain and if we got a robot to do it they would also be changed and whilst they do point to the wikia site they sort of need to. Futhermore several hundred exist in forums which would all be bumped which is bad. For now it's safer to do in manually, I'm mainly working on diffs and whatnot on talk archives and the odd one in mainspace. These can be corrected because otherwise it doesn't make much sense, also it gives more links to this site which will boast are search engine ratings. But yeah not everything needs changing... As for the .org links I thought Skully changed them all last April but yes they should be updated too as they redirect to the Wikia site. ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 03:14, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Missing interwiki links

I found a bunch of broken interwiki links on Special:WantedPages, including:

• et:
• ca:
• lt:
• sv:
• ast:
• yi:‏‎
• lv:‏
• ro:‏
• tr:‏
• sl:‏
• su:‏
• sr:‏‎
• got:
• vi:‏‎
• mg:‏

Person(s) with system access: Please add these interwiki prefixes to MediaWiki. Sir CuteKyuremOnTheRadio [CUN • PBJ'12 • PLS(0) • Stuy'16] 03:56, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

I think this is not a bug. If you are an admin, you can ad it by yourself here. You don't got to contact Carlb for it. I think. Ow, what am i writing? This is not even my own wiki! Tiz (talk) 15:04, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

But I'm not an admin and I don't know where they're supposed to lead.... Sir CuteKyuremOnTheRadio [CUN • PBJ'12 • PLS(0) • Stuy'16] 15:07, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

OK Tiz (talk) 15:08, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Again: This issue is known. There are more iw that are not adapted in the local Interwiki list. Despite the arguments Carlb and I have given, there is no progress in this matter. FYI: uncyclopedia.info: all interwiki links are there | Cartoonist | Spit it out! | 03:09, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

From [uncyclopedia.info/wiki/Special:Interwiki] these should be:

• ast: http://nunyepedia.org/wiki/$1
• ca: http://valenciclopedia.wikia.com/org/wiki/$1
• et: http://ebatsuklopeedia.org/wiki/$1
• got: http://unsaiklopedia.org/wiki/$1

for the interwikis you mention. Carlb (talk) 14:17, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Also, wp: should be a Wikipedia link. Sir CuteKyuremOnTheRadio [CUN • PBJ'12 • PLS(0) • Stuy'16] 14:36, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Flash player

I recently added a Flash player to the UnNews main page so this is kind of a critical one. Whenever you get that warning message for Flash the "Do not show again" link doesn't work. It just brings you to the Uncyc main page and continues to prompt you. Could get this fix or disable this Flash notification altogether? --EMC ^[TALK] 01:27 Jan 21 2013

Ok, it works if you add Template:Flash/disable to your User:<Username>/vector.js page, which used to be uncyclopedia.js on the old site. The Flash message needs to direct people to do vector.js. --EMC ^[TALK] 04:11 Jan 21 2013

And it should direct them to Template:Flash/enable it all the time rather than disable it all the time. --EMC ^[TALK] 04:18 Jan 21 2013

I am confused (I know nothing about all this). What is the benefit of having Flash? And why do I have to select 'yes' every time I go to the UnNews page? If all users have to do the above workaround, it seems offputting in the extreme! Leverage (talk) 14:29, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

The workaround has worked for me, but i think it's horrible for new users, or casual users. A BIG plus for us here is that we dont have wikia's content warning. i think if we post links in social network places and users get constant messages asking about flash, it's really off putting. Is there anyway to make the default display non-flash, with the option to opt in? Leverage (talk) 18:24, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Bizzeebeever is working on this, and it should do exactly what you just described. He just needs to hurry the hell up. --EMC ^[TALK] 17:37 Jan 24 2013

Good stuff, we are moving in the right directioN! Leverage (talk) 18:24, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Potato on my user page

I know this is pretty low priority, but the potato has gone missing on my user page and the links aren't able to be clicked. If maybe someone can explain how I can begin to figure out the code or point me in some direction, it would be appreciated! :) --ShabiDOO 21:12, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Never mind. --ShabiDOO 04:02, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Bots don't receive XML data correctly

Hi guys, I've found some issues regarding interwiki bots. Leaving appart the problem with the not working interwikis that you already know, bots can't retrieve the XML data from the wiki, sleeping endlessly what a lazy fag. It doesn't happen with the old uncy, so it must be a problem over here. Any ideas about what it is and how to fix it? KenbillBot (talk) 17:38, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

I haven't had the least bit of trouble with my bot, but it may only be receiving JSON. However, the VFH gadget which I designed uses XML from the API, and *IT* hasn't had any trouble...that I know of... I will look into this further. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Tue, Feb 5 '13 3:24 (UTC)

Which interwiki bot script are you using? Our script path is different from wikia's, so you may need to adjust some configuration settings. Legoktm (talk) 03:27, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Don't worry, it's not actually a problem from uncy itself. Carlb showed the change to be made at unMeta forum and it is now applied to the uncyclopedia_family.py which I updated at Botwiki. So it's not an issue any longer :) Thx anyway KenbillBot (talk) 20:46, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

ERROR ERROR ERROR

Whenever I redirect/move/edit/create/poop/rollback something, there is a PHP error on the top of the page. Like, WTF? It's like VVV/Core/mediawiki/something.php. ¿Por que? ~Y KUN — Tuesday 05 February 2013 22-35-20 ¿

Please copy & paste the full error here, as well as the page you saw it on. Thanks! P.S., we have verbose debugging turned on right now, so that's why anyone is seeing any errors. Most of the remaining errors seem to be "warnings". ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Wed, Feb 6 '13 2:50 (UTC)

Ok—Notice: Array to string conversion in /var/www/mediawiki/core/includes/User.php on line 1522. There it is. Yay! ~Y KUN — Wednesday 06 February 2013 10-47-47 ☯

Cool. That's just a notice, and we're aware of it. The reason you're seeing it is because we still have verbose error reporting turned on. I think. No worries. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sat, Feb 9 '13 0:00 (UTC)

Here's a problem

I haven't run across this anywhere on the net but here, and since not everyone is talking about it maybe it's my machine. Every time I log in here, "it" doesn't log in all the way. The green dotty things in the log-in bar go all the way across but stay there, it's always shown, all green but never satisfied. Becasue of this I can't do the search function, can't find in-page links, and some other problems. Can anyone help me (by sending me 20,000 in money in small monies). Thanks Aleister 16:22 8-2-'13
