checkuser error on zh-tw

Dear carlb,

User:Hant has performed a checkuser in zh-tw, but occured an error message "CheckUser::doUserIPsRequest" MySQL error "1072: Key column 'cuc_user_ip_time' doesn't exist in table (oscar)". May you check for this? If you need to test the checkuser function, you may test on leeyc0 account at zh-tw, that's mine. --Leeyc0 02:19, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

This should be working now. --Carlb 07:16, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

We have problems in Hikipedia

Hello, dear Carlb. Im one of finnish Hikipedia users, and we have broblems, like this (well, I can't go to Hikipedia).

Timezone problem in Japan

Good morning Carlb. I am an Uncyclopedian in Japan. Currently, Japanese uncyclopedia has a jet lag. If I write date/time signature (~~~~~), timezone is JST, but date/time is still UTC.

~~~~~ should expand as:

2008年2月17日 (日) 00:16 (JST)

But currently, it expand as:

2008年2月16日 (土) 15:16 (JST)

Date/time is subtracting 9 hours from JST (JST is 9 hours ahead of UTC). What is happening? What time is it now? Thank you, good night. --話切徒 16:19, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

It is now 2008年2月17日 (日) 12:16 (JST) - do you know where your MediaWiki 1.12alpha revision level is? :) Carlb 22:18, 16 February 2008 (EST)

I'm sorry about response time lag. The jet lag has cured. Thanks! Should I have checked the MediaWiki revision before asking you? I have not checked the revision. sorry. --話切徒 13:46, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

The error appears to have been a bug in MediaWiki; when the server was updated to the new version, the time appeared correctly. --Carlb 22:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Seems that you have upgraded the MediaWiki and that particular edit section link reverted to old layout. May you also change the CSS so that the CSS matches the latest version? --Leeyc0 07:44, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

hello Carl, Just want to inform you the server is down. D.G.Neree 18:28, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Finnish Hikipedia doesn't work either. Please fix the bugs... Black Eagle 19:20, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Deleted pages and absolute deletion

Sorry that I bother you with this silly question, but are you the only admin of the two Hikipedia servers? Can only you complete an absolute deletion, that even administrators can't undo? And my real question is, that will someone delete old crap articles completely? I am asking this just because there are some deleted pages in Hikipedia that I personally would like to keep somewhere. Thanks. --Crea(te)dit 18:15, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

As far as I know, any deletions done by the admins can be undone. The information is still in the database; it's just hidden from view. --Carlb 04:28, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I knew that. I am just asking do you know will anyone anytime complete an absolute deletion... ? --Crea(te)dit 13:13, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

No, deleted text can be undeleted. --Carlb 22:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Korean Uncyclopedia server migration

We have planned Korean Uncyclopedia's server migration, mostly due to slow connection speed(100MBps+ Internet is ubiquitous in Korea, even Gigabit LAN services are now available in Korea) and stability. We made a new server and tested about several weeks, now it's time to migrate all the data, including user and article database and media files. I sincerely request to lock Korean Uncyclopedia's database in March 9 00:00 UTC or later, and gave us a dump of user and article database, media files. I will notify about server's new IP and domain soon. Thank you. --Peremen 12:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry. The plan was delayed because of some troubles. However, we still have plan and I'll notify about that soon. --Peremen 16:01, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

If you have your own server, I think that it would be easiest to transfer ownership of 백괴사전.org to you instead of registering a new domain (although both options are easily possible}. Other addresses could be configured on domain servers here to be merely aliases (ie: ko.uncyclopedia.info. CNAME 백괴사전.org).

The dump of media files is on http://download.uncyc.org as is the article text. Any images on commons.uncyclomedia.org which you are using in 백괴사전.org articles will need to be copied into the local wiki. I could have this done by some sort of 'bot if you wish. The full SQL dump (which has the deleted articles and the userlist) is not on download.uncyc.org but could be made available to you if you need it.

Let me know once you're ready. --Carlb 16:21, 1 March 2008 (UTC) (carlb at kingston net}

Recent changes list

(In Hikipedia) Is it possible to hide all checked changes on the recent changes list? Checking would become much much easier. --Black Eagle 22:26, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Click "piilota tarkastetut muutokset" at the top of the recent changes list to hide patrolled revisions. --Carlb 22:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok I think I'm getting blind... (I mean thank you!) --Black Eagle 05:33, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Extensions

Hello again, Carlb. Would it be possible to install the Widgets extension with the "report a problem"-widget on Ikkepedia.org? It would make it a lot easier for us to find vandalism and other problems, since most of our visitors don't have enough knowledge about wikicode to insert the templates we've made for reporting problems. --Trubadurix 18:39, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Lately we've had problems creating User talk pages, so we can't welcome new users. Also our Special:Nuke page is no longer available. --Trubadurix 21:28, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

User talk and nn:special:nuke should be working now.

I don't see any information for the widget extension that you mentioned, at least not anything saying where to get individual widgets for that extension which could be used on MediaWiki. --Carlb 04:34, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I'll try to find out more about the widget extension. I know Uncyclopedia and the abandoned Ikkepedia version has the widget, maybe it's a wikia thing. --Trubadurix 08:50, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you

I always regret that I have no better things to say, except to complain all the time. So this time:
Hi! How are you doing? There has been some mysterious lagging lately and some pictures don't work. (Well there was the complain... =( ) Do you happen to know anything about this? Black Eagle 19:06, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Well now the whole Hikipedia is down... Black Eagle 19:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Now everything is under control, except some of the images don't show properly. Black Eagle 21:10, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

A few of the problem images appear to be .BMP's that have been saved under non-.BMP names: Halko.png, Mylaf.jpg, MIkiii.jpg, Nallekarkit.jpg, Mikkisuurinn.jpg, Ahterin_kunta.png, Röhmöfantti.jpg, Donuts-spread2.jpg, KenraaliSanttu.jpg, Tyypillinenlehmä.jpg, OOO.jpg, Pim.jpg, Pukki.jpg, Leppis.gif, Vaakis.jpg, Murneli.jpg, Nimetön.jpg, Ei_tyttö.jpg, Leppiskrt.gif, Spiritism.jpg, Bush_idols.jpg, Hätänium.jpg, Jasso_sami.jpg, Merihirvio.jpg, Universumi.jpg and KumiankkaSaalistamassa.jpg. These are affected by this bug.

These were the only ones that I couldn't get to display properly just by going to the image description page and clicking the 'refresh' (päivitä) tab. The rest appear to be valid. --Carlb 04:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I see. But there are still some pictures; this for example. Have they removed this or something? Black Eagle 05:14, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Dear carlb, I discovered this error for zh-tw:

different behaviour between zh.uncyclopedia.info and uncyclopedia.tw

Dear carlb, I just discovered that the namespace table between these 2 domains acted differently, even though they seems to have same namespace configuration. For example, there is a template named 範本:SOS團列表, and it can be accessed from http://zh.uncyclopedia.info/wiki/%E7%AF%84%E6%9C%AC:SOS%E5%9C%98%E5%88%97%E8%A1%A8, but not from http://uncyclopedia.tw/wiki/%E7%AF%84%E6%9C%AC:SOS%E5%9C%98%E5%88%97%E8%A1%A8. Seems that uncyclopedia.tw doesn't recognize that 範本: is a namespace prefix. May you have a check for it? --Leeyc0 09:34, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

For me both worked well. Black Eagle 20:46, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Request changes for th.uncyclopedia.info

Hi! I would like to ask you to kindly make couple of minor changes. First, we would prefer w: shortcut to reference to th.wikipedia.org instead of English one. Secondly, we would like to use time in Thailand and Thai year as in Thai Wikipedia, which basically is UTC+7, and for the information on Thai year, you can see here: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11657 Thanks! --Jutiphan 22:50, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

You have MediaWiki 1.13 (which contains all bug fixes up to Feb 2008) and พิเศษ:Interwiki (which would allow you to remove the old w: shortcut and create a new one). I've changed the timezone, but I don't think there's anything else that requires me to intervene here. Thanks --Carlb 23:56, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

That was quick. Thank you very much for the changes. Thai Wikipedia took weeks if not more for such changes. --Jutiphan 02:22, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Internet adress

Something changed. There used to be two content-identical adresses to Hikipedia:
http://hiki.pedia.ws/wiki/page_example and
http://hikipedia.info/wiki/page_example.
Now there is only this http://hikipedia.info/wiki/page_example
Are you aware of this change? --Black Eagle 09:00, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm seeing fi.uncyclopedia.info and some others as a redirect to hikipedia.info, and hikipedia.ws or hiki.pedia.ws as aliases with the same content. Peelonet no longer links to Hikipedia at all, and unfortunately nothing on hikipedia in domains .com .net .org but linkspam. :( --Carlb 17:13, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

What on earth? I tried a few days ago to go to hiki.pedia.ws but when it loaded the page I think it somehow redirected because I got to this hikipedia.info. Mysterious. Well, can you explain why those sites have the same content but different adress? And why there are two adresses anyway? Black Eagle 20:45, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

The close down of Simplified Chinese Uncyclopedia

Today, the Simplified Chinese Uncyclopedia (zh:) reported to us (Traditional Chinese Uncyclopedia (zh:tw)) that she would be closed down on April 4th 2008. We need to make changes on our language links this week.--Hant 00:03, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

As far as I know, zh:/zh-tw: have been returning nothing but blank pages since at least last year in the PRC, and en: is now also affected. There may be other Uncyclopedias and many Wikipedia projects blocked as well. As such, I doubt that anyone will notice Simplified 伪基百科's demise, if and when it occurs. Simply deleting the zh: link from zh-tw:Special:Interwiki will leave a mess of red links, so it's probably best to wait until Simplified is actually gone and then have a robot remove the links from the articles.

The links from Wikia-hosted versions are a bit more problematic; we seem not to have a robot active here now that Qscgu9-bot has been banned at least once on en: as well as de:. There's also the problem that we have no access to update the interwiki table here; Forum:Interwiki links is a list of what currently has been awaiting update since October. Still, zh: disappearing is normal (it happened before with the uncyclopedia.wikiachina.cn debacle) so I doubt anyone would notice anything out of the ordinary. Might be best just to ignore it? --Carlb 11:37, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

The Simplified Chinese Uncyclopedia (zh:) reported to us (Traditional Chinese Uncyclopedia (zh:tw)) that it would not be closed down on April 4th 2008. As you say, we have done nothing in this moment. Everything just remain the same.

But I don't think English Uncyclopedia would use it's 'close down' to make a joke on April 1st. The Simplified Chinese Uncyclopedia is now mostly contributed by one or two of its sysops, who are also active in the Traditional Chinese Uncyclopedia. Do they think about if Wikia know its intention to close down? It may come truth! --Hant 22:52, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, it was somewhat related after he decided to start vandalising people's wiki pages, you could at least have dropped me a message you know. -- Prof. Olipro KUN (W)Anchor Op Bur. (Harass) 11:21, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Favicon

I was testing my new mass deletion script on our unused files list at Ikkepedia.org, and accidentially deleted the Favicon.ico file. I uploaded a new version with an "I" instead of a "U" [1], but it doesn't seem to be working. Can you take a look at it? --Trubadurix 10:21, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Ouch, there must be 6.02 x 10²³ different meanings for "mol" and "mole", no wonder this doesn't work... --Carlb 23:49, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Your concerns regarding the sysops at Uncyclopedia

They are mostly grounded in solid fact, but I think you may be missing the pulse of the wiki which you get when you deal with primarily onwiki issues as opposed to offwiki issues (a job which I greatly admire and don't in any way envy ;). What I mean by this is that, yes, we aren't growing at nearly the rate we were growing when I first joined. Hell, I joined at the END of the bubble, the burst, the surge; whatever term you want to use, that time has long gone. We're getting to a point now where it's less about letting the bubble grow, and more about making sure the surface tension doesn't cause it to asplode. That overwrought metaphor is meant not to make me seem more pompous than I already am, but rather to help express my belief that growth != progress. Let me tell you what I mean.

Wikipedia is an ever-growing wiki in which thousands of edits are made literally every second of every day. They've grown well past 2 million articles and are fast on the way to 2.5 and eventually 3 million. That's all well and good, if not for the fact that every day the very users who made Wikipedia what it was/is become more and more disillusioned with what it's become. I point to the developer of AutoWikiBrowser and the vigilance barnstar dude as examples of what happens when this occurs.

I fear every day that more and more people are coming to this point on this wiki. All the time, it's one long and drawn-out argument after another making absolutely no progress. This guy even made a comment on the Manticore op thingamajig.

You might be asking yourself, "Why the hell did this guy come to my talk page to ramble?" I'm getting there, don't fear. You have some well-founded concerns. I find myself reverting reverts all the time, and it's annoying. But such is life. People make mistakes. Sometimes pages that shouldn't be deleted are deleted. We may lose a user, even. This isn't desirable, but it's certainly not worth losing sleep over. Look, I know that you have the wiki's best interests at heart as much as I or anyone else, but sometimes I fear that when a user like you, with such a long, illustrious history at Uncyc (2nd only to MadMax in contribs) only comes back every so often to voice dissent in a forum, it adds to the problem rather than helping toward a solution.

That's my piece. I say it with the utmost respect and without indictment, just a simple statement that sometimes the best way to improve quality is to improve morale, and morale doesn't improve when people come back just to say we're doing it wrong. Even if it is true.

And there you have it. It only took me 3,000 characters to say.~~ Sir Ljlego, GUN  [talk] 00:55, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't think I have what could be called "a long, illustrious history" here. Most of my edits are from ages ago, starting May 2005 (back before Uncyclopedia had any additional languages or any ties with Wikia) and ending soon after Chron sold the domain in July 2006. Most of my involvement since then has been with the Uncyclopedia Babble Project, where I somehow managed to rack up 3000 edits on pt:, a language in which I am dangerously dependent on Babblefish to understand anything. Mostly reverts of page/section blanking and categorisation of templates. Even here, many of these edits are trivial - moving pages to Babel:, adding categories to pages and templates which had none and minor maintenance tasks done long ago. Don't be fooled. :)

Sure, to some extent I do believe in the whole "don't bite the n00bs" concept - and the thirty-plus-years bans being handed out can be a bit excessive. I'm not saying Wikipedia is better or worse, they are becoming a mess of bureaucratic policies and out-of-control robots who have nothing better to do than mislabel user-created images and content as plagiarism and delete it. Still, I am getting tired of having to explain why sysops of other Uncyclopedia languages are being banned here for 'infinite' (which has happened at least once) or why entire entire countries and states are being CVP'ed. Sometimes we do delete a marginal but not unsalvageable page, only to see utter rubbish take its place. That usually leads, a few deletions and re-creations later, to the CVP bin. I do still have interwiki.py robots running on most non-Wikia in the Uncyclopedia series, and am having these constantly prompt asking whether a link to a perfectly-valid topic that should exist here should be pulled as it now links across namespaces (to CVP). And yes, quite often they does seem to be creating inbound links to Wikia pages that don't link back.

Que sera, sera, je suppose. It's all largely out of my hands at this point. --Carlb 10:53, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

ja.uncyclopedia.info's time is inaccurate

Hi, Carlb san. Konichiwa. I am a Japanese uncyclopedia user in Japan. We encountered strange problem.

Currently, Japanese uncyclopedia has two domain names:

• ansaikuropedia.org
• ja.uncyclopedia.info
• (and more?)

The message sent from ansaikuropedia.org is received at correct time. But the message sent from ja.uncyclopedia.info is received at inaccurate time.

Like this:

2008年6月15日 (日) 20:58 (JST) // from ansaikuropedia.org at 20:58

2008年6月15日 (日) 21:04 (JST) // from ja.uncyclopedia.info at 21:00

Oncyclopedia

Hello CarlB,

I was just wondering about the reason Oncyclopedia is so slow at the moment, has something happened to the server?

Greetings from the hot and steamy Low Countries, Rongo 14:29, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Carlb,

Unmeta has the same problem too, the server access is very bad, do you know the reason for it?

Assyrius 14:55, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Dear Carlb, we (zh-tw) also notice the slow response too. Is the server running near its limit? --Leeyc0 05:37, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Could you install the extension that allows admin to protect part of the article with <protect> -tags to Hikipedia? (I can't remember the name of it... Was it something like Protection plus?) Thanks (: --Wooohooo 14:13, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Three Requests from Japanese Project

Hi! Carlb, It is after a long absence. I am Muttley of the Japanese Projects. I want to ask for 3 of the next this time.

1. Protect New Users from Editing Half-Proteced Pages at least 14 days(2 Weeks) or 50 another posts.
2. Validation of MediaWiki:Usernameblacklist.
3. Validation of MediaWiki:Titleblacklist also.

When you done, I am glad you tell it in my Talk page.-- by Muttley /Talk/ Mail12:19, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

zh-tw unable to upload images

Dear carlb, we cannot upload images in zh-tw. A blank screen appears after we press the upload button. Thanks in advance. --Leeyc0 13:16, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

This seems to be a problem with one of the extensions; I'd turned the extension off and the upload started working normally. --Carlb 04:39, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Account hacking or what?

In hiki.pedia.ws (Finnish Uncyclopedia project) it seems, that most of the users have problems/fail to log in, because their passwords have been reseted or hacked. Do you have any information on this? This is a major problem, because most of the sysops fail to log in as well.--C12 09:20, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

This appears to be a temporary problem caused by a MediaWiki upgrade. The new version (1.14alpha) has changed the way the passwords are stored, so attempts to log on during the upgrade install may have given errors. --Carlb 10:37, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Category count of zh-tw disappered

Dear carlb, I discovered that the category count of a page disappeared after the version upgrade. (See the screenshot, I have changed the interface to English for your convinience.) Is there any problem in it. Thanks in advance. --Leeyc0 16:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

By the way, seems that favicon.ico is missing, may you check for it? --Leeyc0 03:27, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by "category count". I'm still seeing "category" or "categories" as appropriate, and am still seeing the number of items and subcategories at the top of those respective sections. --Carlb 04:39, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Dear mr. carlb! Do you have any idea why the Norwegian Ikkepedia is down? Has been two days now. We are presented a white page containing exactly zero bytes! Try it, yourself. Regards, yours truly Norwegian admirers, by one of them, --Jeff no 19:45, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Whatever the reason, the system is working again. Down period from 10:30 August 25 (UTC) to 14:30 August 27 (UTC) If anyone did anything to fix it: Thanks, --Jeff no 14:58, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, we have lots of error messages like ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved While trying to retrieve the URL: http://ikkepedia.org/wiki/Spesial:Siste_endringer The following error was encountered: Connection to 127.0.0.1 Failed The system returned: (110) Connection timed out --Jeff no 15:47, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, carlb. Our users are a bit frustrated for the time being. When they can't access the Ikkepedia site, they find themselves new hobbies and we loose them. That's bad. BTW, there is much humour in the discussion forums at The Real Wikipedia also, some even worse than ours. --Jeff no 15:26, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

The site is back to having both servers up and running, so should be back to normal. It's still very heavily loaded (the two servers are moving a combined total of 4500 gigabytes a month at the moment) but hopefully some of the problems from the server replacement and the MediaWiki 1.14alpha upgrade are resolved. --Carlb 04:39, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello, it's me again, the boring Norwegian. Yes it's better- much better, however we still occationally get an error message at the top, mostly on the Main page, Notice: Undefined variable: egLCEnableSidebarLink in /home/sophia/domains/extensions/LogCount.php on line 167 --Jeff no 19:01, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

zh-tw uncyclopedia edit problem

Dear Carlb,

When I try to save my edit on zh-tw uncyclopedia, the following appear:

zh-tw has a problem

Dear carlb, today I found that zh-tw returned "偽基百科 (Uncyclopedia) has a problem". May you check for it? --Leeyc0 01:06, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Japanese Uncyclopedia also "has a problem". There are Sophias appeared on both domains of ansaikuro and ja.ucp.info. I want to be told the reason too.--Ore tatieno 08:32, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Mr. Carl. Japanese Uncyclopedia had problem between 0 and 13o'clock (UTC) today. But we can access and edit freely now. Thank you.--かぼ 15:04, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Dear Carlb

Hikipedia (finnish uncyclopedia) has problem. It's like this:

(Can't contact the database server: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111 (sophia)).

Can you fix it? --88.193.188.200 12:11, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

The previous problem has gone already but could you help us with this? [2] There are two reported errors, both are some parser errors. The font is bigger than usually and page loads a little slower than usual. The lower error occurs also at Main page, the one with "...line 48". Any ideas how to fix this? --Black Eagle 18:03, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Flash Game in zh-tw

Nice to meet you. I am an uncyclopedian in zh-tw uncyclopedia. Have you seen our UnGame? Do you like it? We made many special games with template:CGI. However we (or only I) believe that's not the maximum of UnGame and hope to improve it. That's why I think it's good to enable zh-tw uncyclopedia to support flash. In this moment, we can use <youtube> to show flash but it's not enough. Optimally, we should install flash extension which let us can input value in edit page. Or at least it should allow users to upload swf file.

Please think about it. (Please forgive my poor English writing skill)--SunnyChow 04:32, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

About ja server-down in present and my announcement

Good afternoon. Japanese Uncyclopedia is under the down manyly but it is certainly less than 156th.

I started the action because of my humility and laziness. I add an article about the status of japanese uncyclopedia as the user subpage. Would you add that in your watchlist?--Ore tatieno 12:46, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

zh-tw signature problem

Dear carlb, I just found a signature problem. I use a customized signature, and today I want to make a change. I changed the "Real name" in "Preferences" (screenshot 1) as usual, but found that it isn't working. When I saved the "Real name", it just reverted to the default signature (screenshot 2). No matter what I entered in the "Real name" field, it still didn't apply to the signature. May you check for it? Thank you. --Leeyc0 11:06, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Forget it. I found the problem now. MediaWiki has changed a lot in the past years. I should use the "Signature" field now, instead of "Real name" in the past days. --Leeyc0 07:50, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

zh-tw is being hacked

Dear carlb, there is an user from zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com vandalized zh.uncyclopedia.info, whose expresses his anger to an bureaucrat at zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com. He replaced a lot of pages, and I reverted most of them. However I found that there are 2 pages which ALL previous history are being replaced, namely zh-tw:範本:黃卡 and zh-tw:範本:管理員用紅卡 (and zh-tw:範本:管理員用紅卡 is a protected page, only sysops should be able to edit this page, but the page is being replaced anyway.). May you investigate for it and restoring its history? --Leeyc0 06:09, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Seems the problem disappeared itself. Sorry for disturbing you. --Leeyc0 07:25, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

cmn(ISO639-3)、yue(ISO639-3)

Zh-tw Uncyclopedia wants to take two more language codes cmn(ISO639-3) and yue(ISO639-3). That means zh-tw Uncyclopedia would keeps 4 languages codes: cmn, yue, zh-hk and zh-tw. I hope you would approve.

Can you also modify non-wikia Uncyclopedias' name.php? (add or renew, all are Chinese variants)

Can you lock the site encyclopedi.as, let only logged-in user to edit?--Hant (Talk) - For your safety, China Free! - 11:00, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Should all of these (cmn, yue, zh-hk and zh-tw) point to the same place? Also, how could there be a pagecount for zombie if zombie is, pretty much by definition, dead?

I'm still trying to get hardware to upgrade the site; it looks like it will be at least another two weeks before I can add a third server. The "ko" wiki is separate from the others, however, they have their own host in Korea. It's that host that's returning "입니다.

Hey Carlb

Are you still interested in hosting the project? Reply to my email, please.--<<>> 12:42, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

With no disrespect to Carlb and the huge amount of hard work that he puts into running the sister sites of Uncyclopedia I think we need to find a seperate alternative, one that isn't reliant upon individuals. Having said that it would be interesting to hear exactly what Carlb could offer. :) -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me)

I am still here, e-mail carlb (at) kingston net or carlb613 (at) hotmail. I shall be upgrading the existing server capacity soon (Japan and Brazil versions of Uncyclopedia, and a few others, are growing at a tremendous rate) and would be able to host a project if you want one put online on some other domain name. Just let me know :_) --Carlb 10:55, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I just want to confirm that you understand what I said in about zh-tw Uncyclopedia section. I knew you are busy on upgrading the servers, and may not have time to entertain my enquiry. --Hant (Talk) - For your safety, China Free! - 13:12, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Follow-up of zh-tw Uncyclopedia

1. Thank you for modify non-wikia Uncyclopedias' name.php. But I don't see cmn on zh-tw Uncyclopedia's "Special:Preferences - User profile - Language". Is it impossible to add cmn?
2. When I type cmn: and yue: on the searchbox in some non-wikia Uncyclopedias, and enter. No redirection to zh-tw Uncyclopedia. I think at least this moment, no interwikis of cmn (http://uncyclopedia.tw/wiki/$1) and yue (http://uncyclopedia.hk/wiki/$1) are set.
3. I saw the interwikis of zh-hk are not updated in many non-wikia Uncyclopedias. The zh-hk would be http://uncyclopedia.hk/wiki/$1.
4. The clock of uncyclopedia.hk is now +8. All of the five: zh.uncyclopmedia.org, zh-hant.uncyclomedia.org, 偽基百科.com, 偽基百科.biz, encyclopedia.tw seem to be redirected. Thank You.--Hant (Talk) - For your safety, China Free! - 09:44, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

mailer error in zh-tw

2. Now, encyclopedi.as lose some pics. For example, the small yellow alphabet w showed in the main page disappear (now the text Wikia). But the zh-tw Uncyclopedia's pics seem to be returned.
3. Please once again restore the new name.php to non-Wikia Uncyclopedias. The name of Chinese variants return to the old one in some non-Wikia Uncyclopedias.
4. The clock of Uncyclopedia.hk return to UTC, not +8. Please copy all the mediawikis from uncylopedia.tw to uncyclopedia.hk. All mediawikis in uncyclopedia.hk disappear.
5. In log-out mode, the non-default namespaces set in zh-tw Uncyclopedia disappear. The default namespaces (like template, user) return to their old name, not these modified long ago.

Good Luck! --Hant (Talk) - For your safety, China Free! - 09:55, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Looks to be upgrade-related; one of the three servers appears not to be handling Special:Namespaces properly; there are also a few wiki-specific changes (such as language names, extensions in use on one language only and the like) which will need to be reinstalled. Incoming requests are directed quasi-randomly to one of the multiple available servers, so the extension looks fine on some pages and not others. --Carlb 19:28, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

1. Pagecount Robot: not sure.
2. Pics: OK.
3. Name.php: Unsolved.
4. Clock of Uncyclopedia.hk: Unsolved.
5. Namespaces and mediawikis of zh-tw Uncyclopedia: Unsolved. When it comes back to normal?
6. New problem: See Babel. The sidebar appears.

Trouble at Hikipedia

Dear Carlb, there is widespread confusion at Hikipedia as strange and sinister omens haunt the site. As I discover reading the posts above, the situation is by no means unique. Since early November, subprojects (Hömppäpedia, Hikikirjasto etc.) and their namespaces have experienced severe trouble and continue to be inaccessible for users who haven't logged in. Things have taken a turn for the worse recently as registered users (including me) have been unable to access their user and/or discussion pages. No namespaces that include our insane vöwëls (Ä, Ö) seem to function properly. This is a major drawback as the Finnish word for user happens to be käyttäjä. The problems seem to fade at times, but they keep recurring. Therefore, the hopelessly incompetent users of Hikipedia have decided to bring this sad state of affairs to your knowledge in the hope that you might be able to investigate its causes and remedy it. Please. --Näpölëön 09:44, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

We were using an extension which allowed admins to add or remove custom namespaces (the code is here). This was done in late 2006 after plans to include a namespace editor (like the one in the WikiData 1.6 branch) in the main MediaWiki 1.7+ code never materialised. The extension was a kludge, based heavily on the special:interwiki editor, but it was working... until a new server (2 x Opteron-2346, 16Gb RAM, 4x750Gb HDD's) was added alongside the existing servers a week ago. The namespaces extension has never operated reliably on the new server, which may account for much of the weirdness which you and others describe. Namespaces like käyttäjä are part of the core MediaWiki translations but there are other administrador-created 'aliases' (such as cat: for categoria: on the Brazil's Desciclopédia) which will need to be supported by some other means - perhaps a replacement of the old special:namespaces with something more stable. Worst-case, I rewrite the extension. --Carlb 18:05, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

The Pagecount Robot, Pics, Clock of Uncyclopedia.hk and Namespaces were back to normal. (As you said, the namespaces management right has gone. But make namespaces work is much important.)

However, can you restore the new name.php to non-Wikia Uncyclopedias? The name of Chinese variants return to the old one in some non-Wikia Uncyclopedias (include Babel).

And, Babel no longer the printable version displayed.

zh-tw namespace configuration

Dear Carlb, we discovered that administrators are unable to configure namespaces. May you restore this function? --Leeyc0 00:06, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I have overlooked the previous paragraph. Now I know the reason why the namespace editor disappeared. --Leeyc0 07:23, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Mediawiki in uncyclopedia.hk

Thank You, the name.php is OK. I also saw a new method to make the sidebar disappear.

I discovered something special at uncyclopedia.hk. It is normal in log-out mode. But in log-in mode No change showed in Special:Allmessages. But in Mediawiki namespace, all Mediawikis are still there. As it does not affect the well-being of uncyclopedia.hk, and more importantly uncyclopedia.tw, this is just for your reference. --Hant (Talk) - For your safety, China Free! - 01:29, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

If you see one set of language messages while logged in and another logged-out, odds are you've set your language to something other than zh-hk in your user preferences - most likely because Hong Kong uses Taiwan's database in its entirety, including the userlist. As for being able to set language and namespace names, it looks like there is an extension that may be able to do that Special:Configure. That extension is overkill, containing many settings which we don't need or which will need to be configured as read-only. It would however allow things such as project name, wiki language, namespaces and aliases to be set from a web interface. --Carlb 18:03, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

The problem of Chinese variants. I understand now. That mean the same mediawiki, I have to copy 6 more times to sometime like mediawiki:abc/zh-abc and mediawiki:abc/zh-bcd to fix it. What a big trouble brought by the Zh Wikipedia and Zh-yue Wikipedia!--Hant (Talk) - For your safety, China Free! - 17:04, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Special:Configure

I checked Special:Configure. Special:Configure seems to be too dangerous. It may be better to unintall Special:Configure if zh-tw Uncyclopedia and other Carat's Uncyclopedias are not go independent.

Special:Configure is helpless to the zh-tw Uncyclopedia, as log-in users from Hong Kong may choose zh-hk as their language preference (Chinese has too many variants). Special:Configure cannot made languages like zh-hk disable. Therefore, I still have to unitify the mediawikis of the two sets by hand.

The only good thing of Special:Configure may be the partly-functioned namespace setting, which can add new namespace. If you want to rewrite the namespace editor, please consider:

1. how to made change to the namespace name (default or non-default name also) without delete the namespace-ID,
2. how to change the namespace-ID (for example, from 88 to 100).

--Hant (Talk) - For your safety, China Free! - 00:46, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

As far as I know, any namespace editor should be able to change the name (or aliases) of an existing namespace, but I haven't seen one that would take everything from one existing numbered namespace and renumber it to a differently-numbered namespace. Even moving pages from mainspace that have "Forum:..." in the names so that they're in "Forum:" namespace (instead of inaccessible in mainspace) seems to require running a maintenance/namespaceDupes.php command-line script. Pity that MediaWiki.org didn't go through with the original plan to include a proper namespace editor in MW 1.7 - we needed this years ago. --Carlb 20:35, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

thumb image cannot be generated

Dear carlb, there is an thumb image that cannot be generated. May you check for it? The affected page is Sigmund Freud（Image:佛洛伊德精神分析.jpg）--Leeyc0 14:09, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Will it be the result of the newly Special:Configure. The MediaWiki update seems to have problem. --Hant (Talk) - For your safety, China Free! - 16:44, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Looks to be an ImageMagick problem - if I switch back to libgd it works fine. ImageMagick is not a part of the core MediaWiki package nor an extension, it's a separate convert utility used (optionally) to resize images. Then again, Dr. Freud is probably ready to diagnose the new server as being obsessed in some unhealthy manner with its own motherboard by now... --Carlb 20:30, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

By the way, I just discovered that when I tried to update MediaWiki:Sitenotice, the change is not reflected, and when we look at Special:AllMessages, MediaWiki:Sitenotice still has the old value. May you check it? --Leeyc0 04:17, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

MediaWiki cycle

How much time would be taken for the updates in MediaWiki namespace applied to the site? Sometimes I saw the changes in Spacial:Allmessages immediately, sometimes a few hours, and sometimes in days. (Would it be in months?) Do you know why? --Hant (Talk) - For your safety, China Free! - 00:43, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

The MediaWiki messages seem to be being stored based on the setting $wgMessageCacheType; this allows selection of if (and where) to cache the messages, but I don't see anywhere to set an expiry time. It appears that every time httpd is restarted, the APC cache is cleared, removing the old messages. --Carlb 14:05, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

forum

Zh-tw Uncyclopedia are testing its forum. Do you know how to make the Forum_talk disappear (like the pic)?

I saw the namespace Forum_talk in English Uncyclopedia. so we set one in zh-tw Uncyclopedia also. Do you know the usages of it?--Hant (Talk) - For your safety, China Free! - 10:56, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

The code which hides the forum_talk tab is in mediawiki:common.css and on en.uncyclopedia looks like:

/* Kills "Forum talk:" links --Algorithm */
body.ns-110 #ca-talk { display: none !important }
body.ns-110 #ca-nstab-forum { margin-right: 16px }

Replace 110 with the namespace number of whatever namespace you use for Forum:

The Forum_talk namespace isn't very useful; it only exists because MediaWiki normally deals with namespaces in pairs, with the odd-numbered namespaces being talk or discussion. If it were useful, mediawiki:common.css wouldn't be being modified to make it go away. --Carlb 14:05, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

It's work. Thank you! Can you put the zh:tw Forum link (zh-tw:論壇:首頁) on Village Dump? It's locked. --Hant (Talk) - For your safety, China Free! - 12:41, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

The term Japanese ought to be in Japanese own script, that is Katakana. If you like, you can termed all cmn yue zh zh-classical zh-cn zh-hans zh-hant zh-hk zh-mo zh-my zh-sg zh-tw zh-yue as any term you think Chinese can identify it as Chinese language on your ja Uncyclopedia. --Hant (Talk) - For your safety, China Free! - 15:59, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh! It's so funny! I have never had such a thing that regarded as a virtual fantasy! So lovely! Thank you! --Ore tatieno 17:16, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Ore tatieno, I don't believe you can found other terms than the original 13 (compromise to be coexist in a single Zh Wikipedia) or the 13 terms I used (respect each place) to describe these 13 Chinese language codes. This time changing "special:configure" in zh-tw Uncyclopedia is for deleting namespace 27 (forum talk) and add back some namespace aliases. Then zh-tw found "special:configure" has bugs, and need the help of Carlb. If you like the Chinese script "日本語", no problem.--Hant (Talk) - For your safety, China Free! - 07:56, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

In fact, it reminded me the first that I found the term both on the Uncyclopedia:Multilingual coordination and Main Page. I have known about that from the Japanese article, Diary. It is our sence that I have written above. But your previous comment made the global wit clear to me.

It is really strange that the caption of interwiki link follows like this, of course without that in Traditional Chinese edition. I support this situation, this fresh approaches and you. Excuse me having stoned. --Ore tatieno 16:56, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Now, as you want, using Chinese script "日本語". Are your ja Uncyclopedia have a Chinese script name "八百科事典"? I saw "八百科事典" on zh wikipedia. --Hant (Talk) - For your safety, China Free! - 02:46, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I have no rights to bespeak to Taiwanese edition. Please do as you want, too. 八百科事典(はっぴゃっかじてん, Happyakka Jiten) is the way to call Uncyclopedia in both traditional and elegant ethos of Japan. It is inferable that アンサイクロペディア has been used frequently after the World War II. (Reference: "History of Japanese Uncyclopedia that was brought down from ancient China", Mimmei Shobo)--Ore tatieno 03:21, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Does this mean that the $wgLanguage code for uncyclopedia.hk becomes "zh-tw" instead of "zh-hk"? --Carlb 08:19, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Zh-tw is OK. Zh-tw Uncyclopedia set mediawiki:abcde/zh-hk and mediawiki:abcde/zh-tw as {{Mediawiki:abcde}} on major system messages. After user login, if mediawiki:/zh-hk and mediawiki:/zh-tw run smoothly, nearly no different.

An unique $wgLanguage code of "zh-tw" may help the wiki run smoothly. I saw $wgLanguage codes of "zh-tw" on uncyclopedia.tw and "zh-hk" on uncyclopedia.hk made the mediawiki:/zh-hk and mediawiki:/zh-tw not work on both sides.

This is for your reference, Wikia runs 10 or 12 Uncyclopedias that have Carat version.

I uploaded an image of the bug of $wgRestrictionLevels of special:configure:

--Hant (Talk) - For your safety, China Free! - 01:24, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

What happened to zh-tw Uncyclopedia? All updates in last few days lost, the site came back to a week ago. --Hant (Talk) - For your safety, China Free! - 01:05, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Ja Uncyclopedia has also rewound to a few weeks ago though it may be the supposed situation for you, Carlb-san. But we, Uncyclopedians onto Toronto cannot preliminarily predict those like troubles at all. There is seen no rock-steady clue about servers at that city on Canada. At least, I am not a member of the mileage program of Air Canada. I cannot ride on airplanes for a half of a day, because of my fear, in the first place. Could you show us the schedule of servers in the time to come, if it will be planned? --Ore tatieno 07:24, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

In addition, blocked IP users have reactivated for this rewind. I am also afraid that they would give bad influences down to your update and/or upgrade. Which do our SYSOPs treat better, to ignore, to re-block or not to care about you?--Ore tatieno 16:10, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Dear Carlb,

Finnish Hikipedia is also suffering from the kind of amnesia described above and has apparently lost updates made since mid-November. The community is baffled by the situation. Several superstitious users are afraid to edit the site before the lost edits have been restored (if, indeed, they will or can be restored) as they fear this could bring about serious disturbances in the time-space continuum, or something, and complicate the situation even further. As the community, faced with uncertainty, couldn't think of anything to do, it decided to contact you in order to get that great feeling of "at least we tried". Some users are keen to know what actually happened but most are just waiting for normalization. --Näpölëön 09:10, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

The server turns out to be unstable for a few months already and all sort of strange errors comes out. All personal preferences would spontaneously reset for no reason, slow response, database lockout and even 403 forbidden error "You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server. Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat) Server at zh.uncyclopedia.info Port 80". May you check for it throughly? --Leeyc0 13:06, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Reset items in special:preferences may be a result of mediawiki version upgrades - there are differences in the way MW 1.16 stores this info compared to old versions such as MW 1.14. If this is the case, a user changing the preferences manually (for those few users who are affected) will resolve most or all of these issues. --Carlb 04:23, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I have changed back the perferences several times, but seems that the preferences will reset back some time later for no reason. And sometimes we found there are some difficulties when saving the preferences, I have to press the save button for a few times to make the preferences really save. --Leeyc0 14:52, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Do you have JavaScript enabled in-browser? The "advanced" version of special:recentchanges requires this, the standard version does not. --Carlb 04:23, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Unciklopedia is in a really bad shape

Hi Carlb!

Hungarian Unciklopedia is again a step closer to the bottomless chasm of Nothingness.

• For example, if you want to go to an existing user or user talk page, sometimes the software responds with giving a new page with no content, but if you refresh it for a random number of times, it gaves you the page you wanted. There are other anomalies too and they are getting worse with time:
• Main contributors list item is no more, instead we see <contributors-toolbox>
• Reference extension is not working anymore. (<cite_reference_link>)
• Templates sometimes are not working.

Gremlin 14:33, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

If you're seeing text like <contributors-toolbox> and <cite_reference_link>, this likely means that you are missing the corresponding messages in the MediaWiki: namespace mediawiki:contributors-toolbox and mediawiki:cite_reference_link. In most cases, the missing messages on upgrade will be for text created to translate extensions - not core MediaWiki code. For problem templates, check the HTML code in the template to ensure that any tags you open are closed (in the correct order). Older MediaWiki versions would close some tags automatically, 1.14 and 1.16 do not. Templates which use the random <choose> / <option> tags will have to be called using (for instance) {{expletive|}} and not {{expletive}} - otherwise you will see problems when using the same random template multiple times on the same page. Are there any specific pages that I should be viewing that are giving errors/blank? --Carlb 04:17, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Carl,

I was the original author and main contributor of this article on Uncyclopedia (http://mirror.uncyc.org/wiki/Hwa_Chong_Group_of_Studios). I would like to delete this article in order to avoid trouble with the offended parties.

After requesting a quick Vote For Deletion, the article on the official Uncyclopedia site had been deleted on July 13, 2010.

However, the article still remains on mirror.uncyc.org: http://mirror.uncyc.org/wiki/Hwa_Chong_Group_of_Studios

I have contacted Wikia Support, and was informed that you are the owner of this site. I hope that you will be able to help me delete this article as soon as possible. Thanks!

Angragitaran

Hello, I'm Bayandur "SongOfFall" Pogosyan, creator of "ՀՍՍՀ Մարքսիստ-Ջեդայիստական Հանրագիտարան" at Angragitaran. Lately I found out that a dublicate wiki was created at [4], a domain belonging to Uncyclopedia. Though I welcome the integration of my wiki in the Uncyclopedia family (and the change to wikipedia skin too), for that was the original idea, I have some small problems with it. 1) for this moment, Angragitaran is in beta, and even the first page is not fully designed (and I'd appreciate any consultation and help with it) 2) angragitaran.org won't recognize my login and password 3) I made contributions and updates on angragitaran.wikia.com, and they don't synchronize with angragitaran.org 4) I have not been in any way notified of the change and did not request the integration, because I did not know how to do it (yes, laugh, I'm a lamer wiki admin), and would in no way object, if I was (because I love Uncyclopedia) 5) having duplicate wikis is in no way efficient, and if the claims above are fulfilled, it would be the best idea to shut down the original angragitaran.wikia.com and concentrate on angragitaran.org I don't know if I've written this in the right place, if not, could you pass it on? Reply me asap. I can be contacted via Wikia or email (the second is preferable) - songoffall [at] yahoo [dot] com. Thank you beforehand, and good luck, Bayandur.

The problem appears to be one of the hard drives on one of the database servers. The wikis were backed up Sept 6-7 and that data was used to put the sites back up, but there are missing posts in the Sept 7-10 range. There will also be no edits during the time the servers are down for maintenance (to replace the problem hardware) as evidently no one can edit. --Carlb 20:27, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Desgalipedia Wiki

Desgalipedia has a problem...

Carlb Hello dear, my name is Rhubella Marie, Desgalipedia Wiki's bureaucrat. This uncy in Galician language, spoken in northwestern Spain. This wiki was created after my ban on Inciclopedia, not a desire for revenge to take note that Galician and Portuguese languages are close, they can be well understood.

Well, what we really came here. Right now, I need help in being able to do and create interlinks between Desgalipedia and other uncys. How do I leave reveal, I am a sockpuppet of User's Desciclopedia called MarceloRenard2. And in his conversation with the bureaucrats there told me (to him, not me) was guaranteed by msn ask that you help in the case. While Renard has confidence in Kohl, are good friends, I decided myself to directly request Desgalipedia since there is already a month ago and really would appreciate if this project is recognized as a sister company of the project Uncyclopedia.

That is, all who humbly ask is the installation of mediawiki needed to upgrade as Desgalipedia MediaWiki: Interlinks and other things.

While the wiki is the server of Wikia, Kohl would have spoken in the exchange server for their Desgalipedia have commented that you would do it easily. Well this is my request.

The access counter of a Japanese version seems not to operate normally apparently.Because it decreased sharply on the boundary of August, 2008 the number of accesses displayed with this access counter though the access counter was equipped in a Japanese version. This is obviously abnormal. Some bugs might be caused. The restoration is hoped for if the bug is caused. --Kikkomaso 15:36, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

About group rights

Hello, I am from Japanese Uncyclopedia. I have bad news and even more bad news just for you.

Bad news. According to the User group rights in Japanese Uncyclopedia, Bureaucrats have authority that Chechusers have. Isn't this a bug or not?

Even more bad news. If it is a bug then can you change the right where it should be? Thanks.--ドドンパ 16:58, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Simple English Uncyclopedia

Hi Carlb

I've created the Simple English Uncyclopedia at Wikia (I did not know of Babel:Simple) and I would like this project to be recognized as the official simple english version of Uncyclopedia. f yes, I would like a help to create interwikis for other uncyclopedias at the Simple, and vice versa (interwikis for Simple English Uncyclopedia at the other uncyclos).

Your opinion of ads and noncommercial content

What is your opinion on the legal issue of CC-BY-NC-SA licensed material on ad supported sites. I personally would say that if the uploader (or agents of the uploader) are the ad hosters, it would fall under commercial use.

However, if the ads are by a site that is "merely hosting" the content, like geocities, myspace, facebook, most web forums, etc, I would say that would fall under non-commercial use. Assuming, of course, that the uploader is not not using his webpage for commercial purposes.

I know your asserting ads on wikia violate the noncommercial license. Do you base on the claim on the fact that wikia controls its contents more than say geocities or facebook, or on the claim that any hosting on noncommercial content with ads violates the CC-BY-NC-SA license? --Mn-z 15:43, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

Stupidedia.org

• Recently, you registered Stupidedia.org for bar (Boarisch). But in fact, the language spoken there is also standard German, like at Uncyclopedia.de which is already registered for German. Is there any possiblity to display the real language? (Btw, Stupidedia has 17.600 articles and Uncyclopedia.de only 4.600) --80.136.245.187 17:10, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Frithchiclipéid abandoned

Could you nominate me sysop and bureaucrat Frithchiclipéid due to the state of total abandonment of the site. Viewing the issues and history of their Main Page, note that has been abandoned since February 23 this year. A ridiculous situation pra other uncyclopedias.

Just to give you an idea of the situation unfortunate. I had to create myself to Main Page translating the Welsh Uncyclopedia's version. In other words, created a uncy to fall into oblivion? It does not have any bureaucrat. Rhubella Marie, the rat sockpreppie preppiedits 00:37, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

How to make an Uncyclopedia in another language

Hello, I'm making a new Uncyclopedia in a language named Ido (Google it), and I want to know what do I have to do in order to make it part of the Uncyclopedia network.

An article for translation, questions

Hi, and good to meet you. I've enjoyed the forum discussion. My question, I would like my article Mortal Sin to be translated and put on the various latin and spanish uncy sites. Can you or someone else do this? I've been told it takes a good swipe at the weaknesses of the Catholic Church, and I realize that that organization has a hold on millions of people in the latin nations, esp. in South and Central America. So would putting this page on your uncy's be a problem, or is it even allowed there? Thanks, and thanks to anyone in your group that could help. Please pass this data on to them if you would. Appreciated. Aleister 11:16 25 6 MMX

Unciklopédia's Big B(r)other is sleeping soundly

Hi, Carlb!

Our little hungarian (lord)ship named Unciklopédia is again sinking and leaking. All of our system logs have been frozen for six daxs. Special:recentchanges or Special:NewPages do not show any new edits and/or pages. Even succesful page deletions do not appear. I'm afraid Chuck Norris is behind this. ( And behind Sophia... Who would like to have a bunch of potatoes resembling Chuck Norris running around?)

Another issue: it seems to me, that there isn't any javascript code inserted into common.js that executes itself. Even import doesn't work. Could you check for us if $wgUseSiteJs is true or false? Finally a third minor problem: youtube extension isn't working. Thank you.

I'm not sure if "Singapore" is a language, aren't they Chinese (Simplified) - which exists but gets relatively little use compared to Taiwan's Chinese (Regular/Traditional script)? Or is there another language tag?

If there's demand and content for these, I am able to create them - but would need to know which ones already have a language code, project name, content to be moved onto a new wiki in order to do these. I'm likely easier to reach on e-mail (carlb at kingston.net) or on the meta.uncyclomedia.org wiki. --Carlb 05:19, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
