Forum:Valid SVGs rendering improperly

Hello, I'm trying to add SVG images to Wookieepedia but have encountered the same problem twice. Viewing a thumbnail of on the file info page, on whatever browser, removes the large arrow and half of the one beneath the circle (compare with the source on the file page). It is not that the SVG has an error in it for it is W3C valid. A somewhat similar thing happened with an image, previously deleted, to demonstrate issue, where it wouldn't show up at all. Again, it was W3C valid and rendered perfectly when viewing the actual SVG file. That leads the only problem to be uploading it to Wikia. My  SVG images, uploaded the same day, show up fine. Is there any possible reason for it doing this? One of the admins on Wookieepedia, Darth Culator tried to get the earlier ones to work several times but to no avail. Thanks,  Nayayen &mdash; TALK  17:29, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Still broken? --Uberfuzzy 07:21, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * bah. ok. poking and kicking as needed. --Uberfuzzy 07:52, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * The Old Republic military symbol one is okay now but I've tried to upload 3 more just now and at least 2 of them are messed up again. Those two are: Zann Consortium.svg and Rheshalva.svg. Thanks for fixing the other ones so far though.  Nayayen &mdash; TALK  16:44, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is this in the process of being fixed? It seems to me that it is being rather persistent.  Nayayen &mdash; TALK  19:59, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Transparent SVGs also have a white background. --Zapwire 20:09, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * This problem still doesn't seem to have been fixed. Any word on when it might be?  Nayayen &mdash; TALK  21:07, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * They seem to look correct to me now. Was this problem fixed? Joey (talk) 09:13, January 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Transparent backgrounds in SVG are now rendered as white backgrounds. Compare: and . The yellow-orange one was purged. Before the purge it had a transparent background, but since the purge the background is now white. I'm reporting this issue by mail with a screenshot --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 21:14, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

clear vs white issue is in the bug queue, as soon as this week's code is live, i'll test it, if not, i'll bump the ticket. --Uberfuzzy 21:39, January 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wondering if there was any new news on this? - 02:48, February 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Just stirring the pot; over at SmashWiki we're still having SVGs with white backgrounds. Toomai Glittershine 02:32, February 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Reproducable on wikia clubpenguin on page w:c:clubpenguin:Ideas:Main Page. --Zapwire (talk/blog/edits) 15:18, February 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * See here and here for two on Memory Alpha that still have this problem, which is weird because not all .svg files on the site have this issue. - 19:44, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

I'll add these new ones to the list and bump the ticket --Uberfuzzy 19:55, February 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * All of the ones that I have linked still have a white background, even after purging them. I haven't uploaded any new ones since fixing the rendering issue so I can't say about that; I'll get some more together for when the background issue is looked at. Thanks,  Nayayen &mdash; TALK  21:11, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * The RuneScape Wiki seems to be having the same problems., and  had the same problems when I undeleted them last week, even after I completely re-drew them. When can we expect this to be fixed? cflm (talk) 00:52, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, update time: the transparency bug is isolated and the cause found (some of the image servers got out of sync, and have different versions of the svg conversion software), and it should hopefully be resolved this week (lots of servers were affected, but not all, but that means that they ALL have to be checked now).

Other then that issue, are there any other reports of broken/misrendering SVGs left? need to know so we can test them on the version that is getting rolled out to the whole grid (no sense pushing out a version to every server that doesnt 100% work) --Uberfuzzy 11:23, February 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I got a few broken SVGs, but its only the same white background problem. If you want to test them anyways: 1 2 3  ( C rynsosTalk23:40, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Korean wikis also seem to have misrendering SVG problem. See (ko.mabinogi),  and  (ko.mabinogi-heroes) –  15:06, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Still working that way, I had to upload as a 5000x5000 px. image, otherwise it shouldn't had worked. --MisterWiki 00:21, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

Has there been any progress on this? Been a while, no changes. Toomai Glittershine 22:57, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * No change on our end either. - 11:20, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
