Ran Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Afraid so. The summer is proving the worst possible time for this sort of thing to happen. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) Hmm.The one alternative I can suggest is putting up new entries on the ASoIaF Wikia instead, and then transferring them to the Board Wiki when it goes back up.The only issue is that I haven't copied any of the character templates over. I suppose editors can still put content up and worry about the templates when the Board Wiki resurfaces.I'm developing an idea that the Wikia could be used exclusively for the HBO series to avoid duplication of effort, but until that begins my plan was to use the Wikia as a sort of back-up or testing ground for the board one.

Ran Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Interesting idea, certainly. :) What we're waiting on now is for IPB Wiki to be updated for Mediawiki 1.15. Once that happens, we'll try installing those two and see if that helps the situation...Although actually, this reminds me of something else I wanted to try first. *goes and tries that* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Okay. It's up. Sort of. Not strictly sure if everyone will be able to access it or not. I had to turn off the IPB Wiki bridging function, and I think if you have cookies that had you logging in automatically before, that that should still be valid. But if you've lost those, you probably can't log in, and so can't edit.Let me know if anyone has any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 From your 'summer' comment I thought you meant it was going to be down for a bit longer than a few hours ;)Okay, it seems okay. Content all seems to be there, I can make changes and edit and - most importantly - it's now loading pages in less time than it takes me to make a cup of tea, which I'm guessing was the original objective?Nice.

Ran Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Ah, no. I just meant that Sparks would be around less actively, and so the pace of getting things fixed might be a bit slowed down. :)Another thing I had to turn off was the Category Tree extension. Not really sure if anyone used that, but it doesn't seem to work at all with 5.3.0 and it hasn't been updated in a good while. Hopefully someone will fix it up.

Scafloc Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 There is a problem when in a template a calculation is made. It does not seem to work. I used this to determine which Feature quote should be selected (for the Main Page). I have a temporarily fix that selects the Feature quote number that corresponds to the day of the month (there is no calculation in that). This means the quotes with a number > 31 will not be selected. But I guess that is acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Yes, I noticed that. I can't imagine it has to do with taking out CategoryTree. It may be a 5.3.0 issue which may be fixed when we upgrade to 1.15. Thanks for the temporary patch, Scafloc. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordberry Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Someone is having fun with the wiki :thumbsdown: http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?title...&oldid=5946 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) I see. Removing the IPB Wiki check allows people without accounts to start editing. I need to see how to change user rights so only users with accounts can do so. I reverted the spammer's change.ETA: Okay, think I fixed it. No one can create new accounts from the Wiki at this stage. I'm not sure if people who set up an account here will have access to editing on the wiki or not. We'll have to hope 1.15 and the new IPB Wiki to support it will get the job done.

RedDeath9 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 One of my friends found a mistake. On the list of characters, the link for Pate, Prince Tommen's whipping boy, leads to Pate from the Citadel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordberry Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) The list has been corrected.How should i call the page that allow to make the distinction between 2 characters with the same name? homonyms is ok for everyone?

Evrach Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) Call it "Pate (disambiguation)", like here : http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Aegon...disambiguation). "Disambiguation" is better than "homonyms", and it's the term used on wikipedia too.It a good idea because there are 4 ou 5 "Pate" in ASOIAF.Pat, Prince Tommen's whipping boy :rolleyes: Isn't it Joffrey's whipping boy ?

Guest Other-in-law Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 :rolleyes: Isn't it Joffrey's whipping boy ?He may have been mentioned at some point in Joffrey's reign (though I don't recall it), but Cersei definitely threatened Tommen by having Pate whipped in aFfC.

Evrach Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 He may have been mentioned at some point in Joffrey's reign (though I don't recall it)Cersei talking to Sansa, but Idon't recall the exact chapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Oh, BTW, we dropped down to PHP 5.2.10. Scafloc, could you see if that fixes the template issue you mentioned earlier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scafloc Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Oh, BTW, we dropped down to PHP 5.2.10. Scafloc, could you see if that fixes the template issue you mentioned earlier?It works! Thanks Ran! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
