unless you mean the 'Server error' associated with Files related pages, you'll have to point me to the specific page you encounter this problem on, since I am unable to reproduce it. as for the file related crap, I suspect we have a bad file somewhere that corrupt the query. since I first observed it on offset 250+, then 150+ and now it appears immediately (Each change followed categorising effort), hopefully we can fix it soon...

Yes, I was able to pinpoint the exact file and delete it (unused one for a user page). Once the cache updates, the UnCat Files should properly populate.

I doubt it will fix it completely, since we had that problem before this file was uploaded, but by trying to figure out how you found it, you gave me the idea how to find the rest of them, I used the page list to display all the file pages and then went over the file list in batches of 250 until I got the Error, luckily I got it only on the last 20 files, so I opening those 20 manually and found the rest of the misfits, the only files not to load and give me the same server error 500:

if you can find a way to delete them please do, otherwise I'll contact RAN to land us a hand.

Done. The trick is to click on a good image, and click delete. Then, it gives you the full url (for example: http://awoiaf.wester...ndex.php?title=File:GoodPicture.png&action=delete)

Then, click on the bad/corrupted image that won't load and copy it's url (for example: http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/File:BadPicture.png ).

Then you simply copy the bad image File name, and replace the good image with it. (for example: http://awoiaf.wester...ndex.php?title=File:BadPicture.png&action=delete). Then you just delete!

EDIT: And now the UnCat Files loads!

I understand that we try to create a page for every character, even for very vague references and make all the associate for him etc, but do we really need to extend the practice for other entries?

IHMO, not every topic need a new page, people should consider placing it on a more generic/"top leve" page and if ever the section will be notable enough split it. for example, not every building need a page, especially if the city already has almost the same description. And if you did decided to make a new page, please try to link it to existing pages to make it more accessible.

my 2 cents, mor.
