COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS go at the bottom.
ADMINISTRATORS: When closing a bug report, please add the |closed_by
parameter with your signature, then move it to the top of #Resolved bugs. Bug reports that aren't bugs go here.
EVERYBODY ELSE: Please check to see if your bug is one of these before posting your bug report AT THE TOP of #Current bugs!
- PHP ERRORS
- If you see lines on the top of the page like PHP Warning or whatever, be a dear and copy/paste that for us along with what page you saw that on and what you were doing at the time so we can better look into the issue.
- "Array to string conversion ...on line 1522"
- If you are getting this notice, that's a known issue, so you don't need to post it unless the page is broken otherwise.
- Broken redirects
- If you come across a redirect which points to a page which exists, but shows a red link, do a "null edit" on the redirect (click the "edit" tab, insert a space somewhere, click "save"). This should fix it.
- The new edit window is "icky"!
- And I quote: "...you can turn it 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. -— Lyrithya ༆ 16:26, 5 January 2013 (UTC)"

Bug report: Missing contributions from Wikia |
---|
Description:
I have edits to this article that aren't showing up in my contributions page. Is there some sort of process I have to do to link my .co account to my Wikia account to confirm that I'm the same person before the edits will show up on my contributions page? Tepples (talk) 21:53, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Apparently it's mishandling some png thumbs, possibly just grey files - see File:Sophia-Loren.png (RGB) and File:Sophia-rocks.png (grayscale).

Description:
Taken from elsewhere: I am having a strange problem. When I connect to Uncyclopedia's new home, the page loads very slowly and indefinitely. I tried diagnosing my problem with DownforEveryoneorJustMe and WhyDown and they both claim that the site has no problems.
I used the command promt and here's what I got at line 7: 7. * * * Request timed out I can't be the only person in the world who is experiencing problems. Apparently the problem is on my end...?

Bug report: Minor issue in SpecialPages, broken interwiki links |
---|
Description:
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)
Specifically, I redirected:
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:

Bug report: Edit window link suggestion is slow | |||
---|---|---|---|
Description:
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

Bug report: {{Logo}} issues |
---|
Description:
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) |

Comments/Questions
If I might say...
I find it astounding you managed to get the whole site moved with only this many errors. I love you guys. ---MasterWangs 05:12, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- Dude, you should see the errors on the server-side. Place is like a jungle filled with rape machines. ~ Mon, Jan 7 '13 13:15 (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)
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)
Broken images
I've been going through the Category:Pages with broken file links and have run across some problems. These mostly concern files that have been mistakenly deleted as unused images.
- Trying to restore a file for an image deleted prior to 2011will result in an error message. This also occurred on the old website, so I assume its not related to the move, but I just thought I'd mention it.
- Successfully restoring files does not remove the page from the broken links category even after several days.
- Files from imported pages do not exist despite a record of it being uploaded (e.g. EMC's File:Anuslogo.jpg).
In addition, I'm seeing a few external image links that are broken in non-mainspace pages. I was able to repair some of these when I was fixing the links to wikia but it didn't always work (I noted those I wasn't able to fix in the edit summary). Should wikia image links be changed to uncyclomedia.co? MadMax (talk) 12:11, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
- A significant number of the files hosted on site as of January 2010 were moved over to the mirror, as we're a large number of files (but not all) hosted as of early to mid 2012. You may also be able to locate files using wayback machine. Obviously this isn't a technical fix as much as it is an advantage in having back-ups off site of site content. I also created User:Puppy/image as a way of determining what file pages we had and where they were used. Note this only reflects the file pages - it doesn't determine the images themselves.
- My experimentation with Category:Pages with broken file links elsewhere showed me that this category was not dynamic. The pages that were shown were those that had broken file links at the time the page was last updated. (Or at least, I think that's how it worked.) this means you'll get false positives in there as well as not covering reflecting pages that develop broken links when a file is deleted. Or - in other words - it's pretty useless. I did consider a DPL solution to address this at one stage but the server load that it presented was pretty heavy, and it crashed more often than it worked, unless I stripped the bulk of the variables out of it, which then made it too slow and with too few results to be worthwhile.
- The next option is to run a not that looks for links in a page that are file creation links - so for instance File:This does not exist creates
http://server name/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=file name as URL encoded
. Once you have a listing of files then searching other wikis for the link to the media via[[Media:file name]]
is a matter of simple cut and paste. I also have a script a friend of mine out together that will import images on a large scale based upon the URIs of the image files. - Hope that helps. If not, then not much else I can do to assist. Nominally Humane! 03:11 13 Feb
- Oh, and File:Anuslogo.jpg will reflect a page, whereas Media:Anuslogo.jpg will reflect the file itself. Hence the redlink can be useful. Especially when worked into a DPL that displays files. Nominally Humane! 03:17 13 Feb
That does help, thanks. I've found that editing a page a second time (after the broken image is fixed) will remove it from the category. I've been going through Special:UnusedFiles and listing missing files at Uncyclopedia:RadicalX's Corner. The majority I've found, however, are linked to inactive user pages. Is there a shortcut I could use to find missing files in mainspace articles instead of searching them one by one? MadMax (talk) 08:38, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Status of ICU
I noticed the articles on Category:ICU have been listed since early-January (and currently appear as redirects in the category). Should these be deleted? MadMax (talk) 12:23, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
- Hea Max. Think I got em. They must have slipped through the cracks somehow as they did not show up at UN:M. MrN 17:20, Feb 13
Thanks. MadMax (talk) 08:28, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Am I just dreaming or...
But I can't find the QVFD-button anymore? Is it broken or is it in no use anymore? 13:34, 23 February, 2013 (UTC)
- You're not dreaming; the code behind it was broken because it uses something called "YUI", which isn't standard on MediaWiki. I'm gonna rewrite it. Should be available shortly! ~ Wed, Feb 27 '13 2:40 (UTC)
- Wonderful, thanks! 09:56, 4 March, 2013 (UTC)
More minor issues
- Broken files I've deleted are appearing in Special:UnusedFiles even after the cache is updated.
- A few pages are appearing in categories as redirects (e.g. Bob Dylan in Category:American musicians.
- I can't seem to find the spam filter to block text from pages. Was this brought over during the move (I notice the exclude title feature is not included on Special:WantedPages now)?
- I used to be able to search the backlog of Special:WantedPages on the old site, bypassing the 1,000 limit cache, by using this link. Apparently, this is no longer working. MadMax (talk) 08:28, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- Regarding Bob Dylan, I've fixed that one instance by making a null edit to the page. I'm currently investigating what seems to be widespread database corruption with the
page_is_redirect
field. Legoktm (talk) 09:20, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Disabling Forum talk pages
I notice that UnNews blocks the discussion tab on its main page. Could something similar be applied to the Village Dump? It seems to be a semi-regular target for spambots recently. MadMax (talk) 04:23, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
- Blocking the tab doesn't do much, as I believe those spambots never even see the actual page -- they just use the API. Best idea would be to set up an abuse filter rule that prevents people from editing that "namespace". I'll get Lyrithya or somebody on that. ~ Tue, Apr 30 '13 2:02 (UTC)
