Forum:1.10a bugs

Known bugs

 * Cascading protection fully protects all transcluded pages even if [edit=sysop:move=sysop] is not the actual value set
 * Known bug at Wikimedia. The solution was simply to not cascade protect except at the most extreme protection level. -Spl
 * I think they simply disabled the checkbox unless [edit=sysop:move=sysop] was selected. G .He (Talk!) 01:25, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Seems so. -Spl
 * Special:Listusers becomes unfiltered
 * Possible brokenness depending on wiki (I.e. Incomplete entries on InheriwikiEs: (&lt;page_first&gt; | &lt;page_last&gt;), [&lt;protect-summary-cascade&gt;] (&lt;protect-expiring&gt;), &lt;protectedpages&gt;, etc.)
 * Special:DeletedContributions is listed under the Restricted specialpages section even though it requires a parameter as linked from a Contributions page and therefore should be an Unlisted Specialpage.
 * Special:TaggedImages is listed in the Specialpages but going to it gives you Error: no query provided.
 * Perhaps you need an input image, or input subject that is tagged? Like Special:Contributions won't give you anything useful without a username.   Scott  ch  00:15, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * That specialpage theoretically should be a listing of all the images which are tagged. Also, if a specialpage cannot be accessed without parameters then it is supposed to be unnlisted. ~Dantman(talk) tricks Apr 27, 2007 @ 00:49 (UTC)
 * Makesysop is missing.
 * Subpages are disabled (At least in the User namespace O_o?)
 * The + has become an illegal title character again. The MediaWiki 1.9.3 upgrade made that possible, but the MediaWiki 1.10a upgrade has downgraded that back to not working again.
 * Special:Recentchanges is bugged, when not logged in the default rc lists the last 0 changes in the last 0 days, therefore listing nothing. You must click the links to change the numbers if you wish to see anything. The defaults used to be the last 50 changes in the last 7 days I believe.
 * These skins display broken in some way:
 * Simple
 * Skin3
 * search
 * These skins do not display:
 * ArmchairGM
 * Cars
 * CologneBlue_view
 * Entertainment
 * Food
 * Games
 * Health
 * Law
 * Local
 * Music
 * Politics
 * Restaurants

Question
Separate to avoid diverting talk above...

Was Wikia upgraded to 1.10? Or is this about a future or proposed upgrade?  Scott ch  03:20, 25 April 2007 (UTC)


 * The upgrade is currently taking place, starting from the smallest ones. G .He (Talk!) 03:38, 25 April 2007 (UTC)


 * The page makesysop in general is on this version MediaWiki? — Afinogenoff ¾ 04:08, 25 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Makesysop itself is a MediaWiki extension. It should be compatible with any MediaWiki version above 1.5. Once the bugs are sorted out, the feature should work again. If you require admin promotion(s) right now, you may want to ask a staff and see if he/she can do it, since they have Special:Userrights to modify user rights. G .He (Talk!) 04:16, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Is not present, I do not demand fast assignment sysop to this or that users. It is interesting, whether this page will work in general, or it is necessary to wait, most likely goes apgreid. — Afinogenoff ¾ 04:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I have something to note about MakeSysop and permissions extensions. I finished (Just taking a day to do it) My RightsControl extension which I intended originally for use in the WGEP, but it may have some interesting use in this case. I developed the extension on a MW1.10 local server so the extension is compatible with MW1.10 and works nicely with it. The ui looks a lot like that of Special:Userrights, except there is a major difference between the two pages. Special:RightsControl is safe; You can't edit a flag unless permissions are set to let you to, they can also be set to only allow a group to edit a flag in one-direction. This basically means that that page can be used to give bureaucrats the ability to grant the rollback, sysop, and bureaucrat flags to a user, and revoke rollback. But they still won't be able to revoke sysop and bureaucrat. In other words, it's almost like combining Special:Makesysop and Special:Giverollback. If the devs would like, this would be the perfect time to experiment with a tool like this. It's as safe as the old system, and it's 1.10 compatible. Extension information is at User:Dantman/GE Extended/Custom Extensions/RightsControl. ~Dantman(talk) tricks Apr 26, 2007 @ 04:44 (UTC)
 * Such expansion is really possible to establish on wikia? — Afinogenoff ¾ 06:24, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Yup if it weren't then we wouldn't be getting MediaWiki upgrades, and different Wikia wouldn't have extensions like WikiHero, Choose, and GoogleMaps Installed. All it takes is for someone to build them properly. All the coding is done, and just like any other extension all it takes to install is the 2 files and the settings in LocalSettings.php ~Dantman(talk) tricks Apr 26, 2007 @ 07:09 (UTC)
 * I hope, that these sanctions will establish as soon as possible :) — Afinogenoff ¾ 08:53, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It's up to the Wikia devs and staff if they want to include a test of that system along with the Wikia update. Though, I admit that that page does solve an age old issue which people have been begging for a solution to for all wiki. I'll probably put it up on MediaWiki.org at some point. ~Dantman(talk) tricks Apr 26, 2007 @ 09:27 (UTC)
 * It is interesting, that while nobody has become interested in the given offer:) And to make this function it is necessary as soon as possible! — Afinogenoff ¾ 02:25, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Allpages bug for bots
I'm repeatedly getting this error when running my GE-ImageMirror-Bot.py script. This only happens at points when it runs over the InuYasha Wiki, not the Narutopedia. Narutopedia is running 1.9.3 while InuYasha is running 1.10a, so this is probably something to do with a 1.10a bug. Unfortunately, I can't get the box to continue mirroring some of the newer shared images in the WGEP unless this starts working. Here's the last of the command line results: Reading file http://images.wikia.com/anime/en/images/7/79/Icon-Warning-Red.svg The suggested description is: ImageMirrorBot. Uploading file to inuyasha:en...

This was a Pywikipedia bot error. I'd like to notify all the Pywikipediabot framework users that you need to use "1.A" as your version number for wiki running 1.10alpha, not "1.10", "1.10a", or "1.10alpha" it must be "1.A" due to numerical testing. ~Dantman(talk) tricks May 7, 2007 @ 02:27 (UTC)
