Something is messing up various things across the site. I suspect Wikia is behind it. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 17:59, 13 January 2010

I blame the French. -OptyC Sucks! CUN18:00, 13 Jan

I blame Canada. OHAI MODUS! Also, I saw that Opti, await proper retribution ~ 18:17, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

What are ya gonna do, nail my savior to a cross? Oh wait... -OptyC Sucks! CUN18:41, 13 Jan

Well...

It seems some of the stuff is back to normal. Not all of it though (just click the first result). Also, [[Talk:Talk:Incompleteness Theorem|Penis]]. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 20:40, 13 January 2010

I still blame the French. -OptyC Sucks! CUN20:44, 13 Jan

As a liberal, I blame America. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 20:50, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

The problem might be on your end. Did you check the settings on that program? --Mn-z 05:40, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Settings on what program? —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 15:24, 14 January 2010

The thing that is causing the various bad things to happen, obviously. --Mn-z 15:58, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Well, either it's Firefox or it's Wikia's latest "improvements". —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 16:01, 14 January 2010

Are you sure that other thing isn't causing the stuff to happen? --Mn-z 16:10, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Nah. That other thing could have no effect on my computer at all. Rather, it's having an effect on something completely different. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 16:17, 14 January 2010

Is it the same thing that made my hair all frizzy? Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 17:40, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Yes it is! —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 17:58, 14 January 2010

Make it stop! I look like the guy who wasn't Simon from Simon & Garfunkel. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 22:07, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I'll use this other thing that does exactly the opposite to negate the frizziness. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 22:21, 14 January 2010

Ah yes, good ol' Frankie Lippshitz. What ever happened to that guy? -OptyC Sucks! CUN22:23, 14 Jan

Who? —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 22:34, 14 January 2010

The guy who wasn't Simon, duh. -OptyC Sucks! CUN22:35, 14 Jan

You mean Art Garfunkel? —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 22:41, 14 January 2010

No, Frankie Lippshitz. Who the hell is Art Garfunkel? -OptyC Sucks! CUN22:44, 14 Jan

I don't know about either one, so you tell me. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 22:52, 14 January 2010

The guy who wasn't Simon from Simon & Garfunkel played Captain Nately in Catch-22. If that doesn't clear things up for you, I need to get some newer references. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 23:33, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Getting back on topic, was that thing causing that thing or was it the other thing. --Mn-z 03:56, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

The other other thing was causing the french to cause the other thing. carrot lol 04:19 January 17

But what about the thing that caused the thing to do the thingy?  ~ Avast Matey!!! Happytimes are here!*  (talk) (stalk) Π   ~  ~  17 Jan 2010 ~ 11:21 (UTC)

Actually, I think it was that other that caused that thing to do that thingy. --Mn-z 17:28, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

In conclusion, the problem you were referring to, that the search results are double-url-encoding the "?" character, which should encode to %3F but the "%" in the link is being encoded again to give %253F, giving a bad title error, and the inclusion of the unescaped "?" character in the url causes mediawiki to treat it and everything after it not as part of the article title, but as arguments to index.php, all thereby interfering with articles which have the "?" character in their titles, is, of course, wikia's fault. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 01:36, 20 Jan 2010

Not to forget the [[Talk:Talk:Incompleteness Theorem|Talk:Talk]]s, which are, of course, also 's fault. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 01:42, 20 January 2010

You just made that up didn't you?!?  ~ Avast Matey!!! Happytimes are here!*  (talk) (stalk) Π   ~  ~  20 Jan 2010 ~ 02:14 (UTC)

Are you sure a wizard isn't responsible? --Mn-z 06:03, January 20, 2010 (UTC)
