Forum:Blog Issue

I've been lurking around wikis for a similar blog system and attempted to understand how blogs works in MediaWiki, but I find none and no solution to fixing the problem.

Anyway, this Blog Issue forum is regarding the errors found in Halopedia's Blog Lobby and to find some solutions from the respected members of Community Wiki and hopefully some responses from Wikia Staff. The Blog in Halopedia (according to what I know, which might not be true) was the test/prototype to the Blog features you see today in most wikis. Listed below are the errors;
 * 1) Popular Section in the right column lists all of the old blogs which have been untouched for several years. Most, if not all, of the listed blogs in the section were made in 2008. It will ignore all new and popular blogs created after 2008.
 * 2) Most Comment and Most Votes have been broken and will not list out the most commented/voted blogs in the past 72 hours. This error was notified in 2008.
 * 3) The "Prev/Next" is broken; clicking it will have no effect on the page, nor will it show the old blogs.

So, now the question; is it because of the MediaWiki or is it something internal that is accessible only to Wikia Staff?-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 15:02, April 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * From my understanding of it, the blog extension enabled on Halopedia (which is quite different from the "wiki blogs" developed later) has a lot of bugs resulting from later internal software changes done at Wikia. These need to fixed by Wikia - probably the best way to inquire about getting some of these fixed is using Special:Contact. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  01:14, April 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Contacted them several times and received the common No offense "We are aware of the problem/We're currently working on it". Problem is that is has been two years.... and considering the amount of changes made to the current MediaWiki, I was hoping to get an actual reply that would have an actual effect. I should have added that some of the blog extensions can be fixed via MediaWiki: (we've managed to fix several minor bugs on our own, but the primary bugs remained).... -  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 01:43, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
