Forum:Moving in/bug reports

Welcome user tag
On the tag on the front page whenever I log on it shows up and says that I have a gift request for "-1 gifts". - S.B.44   [Talk] |undefined 01:30, 18 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Okay, that is weird. I'll need to dig into it &mdash; please remind me on IRC about this so that I don't forget. --Jack Phoenix 06:40, 18 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Same issue for me now. I received a gift, then sent a gift, and now I have -1 gifts and can't get rid of the message. -- 18:17, 18 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Steve fixed this particular issue (see Halopedia:Developer log), I committed his fix (improved it a bit to add checking for user messages and awards too) to upstream in r75010 and applied r75010 to Halopedia today. --Jack Phoenix 06:00, 19 October 2010 (EDT)

User page
Uh, for some reason my user page is only saying 1 edit, when I had at least a thousand before the swap. Is this normal at first, or is something wrong with it? Blade Bane 03:02, 18 October 2010 (EDT)Blade bane
 * Captain Blade bane, I'm seeing "Edits 831" on your userpage as of now. --Jack Phoenix 06:40, 18 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Odd, must just be a display thing then. However, my halopedia mainspace edits was 1035 according to special:editcount, but over here it only has it as 694. Shouldn't my overall be higher? (Don't mean to be sounding like an edit whore, just curious is all). Blade Bane 06:47, 18 October 2010 (EDT)Blade bane
 * Yes, we're looking into what might be causing this and seeing how we can resolve this issue. --Jack Phoenix 08:31, 18 October 2010 (EDT)
 * There's a few missing revisions from some of the articles. We're waiting for an updated wikia dump so we can have those imported soon. Nicmavr 08:33, 18 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Yeah, Jack, the full MediaWiki dump wasn't actually complete. Some pages only have one revision from an older dump, which is why edit counts are down. And when a new user logs in from Wikia, aka "registers" here, Special:UpdateEditCounts needs to be run or they'll only have one edit. -- 11:28, 18 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Could something be done to make the edit counts update automatically? I don't mind having to use that tool every now and then, but an automated process could simplify things a bit. Nicmavr 11:50, 18 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Sounds like epic hack time...maybe a hook in MediaWikiAuth.php and a hooked function or just plain copypasta from SpecialUpdateEditCounts.php to MediaWikiAuth.php. Either way, the database queries need to be performed in MediaWikiAuth::initUser, probably after updating the user's info in the database (it needs to be done before the extension tells Snoopy to log out from the remote wiki). Doable, yes, but also a bit complicated. --Jack Phoenix 06:18, 19 October 2010 (EDT)

Move Article
Apparently, that function is denied to a rollback user. I tried to move Team beta to Beta Red, and it denied me permission to perform the function. --  Specops306   Autocrat     Qur'a 'Morhek   04:16, 18 October 2010 (EDT)
 * You need to be autoconfirmed (in the autoconfirmed implicit group) to be allowed to move pages. We have altered $wgAutoConfirmAge and $wgAutoConfirmCount from the software defaults; I'm sure that you'll pass $wgAutoConfirmCount, but maybe you don't pass $wgAutoConfirmAge &mdash; we all know that you've been around for a long time, but maybe MediaWiki thinks that your account is "new", because technically speaking, it was created when you first logged in with your Wikia credentials. --Jack Phoenix 06:40, 18 October 2010 (EDT)

Youtube Videos
I'm not sure if it was like this before the move or not, because I just recently joined, but I found that the Youtube videos on the Halo 3 cutscene page weren't working I assume that they won't be working on other pages, but haven't looked into it yet. -- Andrew996 18:02, 18 October 2010 (EDT)
 * They seem to be working now actually. My computer might have been doing something or it might be an on/off kind of thing. sorry for using your time if it turns out to be nothing. --Andrew996 18:08, 18 October 2010 (EDT)
 * I modified the page. -- 18:17, 18 October 2010 (EDT)

Era template
I don't think the era template is showing up on the pages. Is that just the skin? pestilence  Phil,  pestilence!  21:04, 18 October 2010 (EDT) Same goes with the ratings template. pestilence  Phil,  pestilence!  21:13, 18 October 2010 (EDT)


 * Yep, era icons indeed weren't showing up. They should show up now. If they don't, purge your browser's cache (CTRL+F5 works for IE8 at least). Thanks for the report! --Jack Phoenix 06:18, 19 October 2010 (EDT)
