Interwiki map
The interwiki map does not seem to work yet. For example, fr.be:Accueil should link to http://fr.wikinations.be/Accueil, but doesn't. This is a big problem for the Luxembourg wikicity, where interwiki links are used extensively. Thanks in advance.Pcarbonnelle 12:40, 23 Dec 2004 (PST)


 * I've copied this to bugzilla. See Bug:53. Angela 18:23, 23 Dec 2004 (PST)

GFDL text
The GFDL text at the bottom of the page seems to have suddenly disapeared. Is it a bug ?--youssef 04:01, 29 déc 2004 (PST)
 * I guess so. Angela

Section edit
Section edit removes other sections. Conan 03:12, 1 Фев 2005 (PST)
 * This is a MediaWiki issue. See bugs 1181 and 275. If you have "Show preview on first edit" selected in your preferences, please disable it. That ought to solve it. Angela 07:27, 1 Feb 2005 (PST)

WikiMac (Italian) has taken over all Wikicity redirections
The Wikicities now have a new and serious bug, which should be easy to correct:  Whenever I get redirected (such as after logging in, or after adding a page to my watchlist), I end up in the Italian WikiMac Wikicity, no matter which Wikicity I was browsing before. --Verdlanco 08:29, 5 Feb 2005 (PST)
 * http://wikicities.com/ and http://www.wikicities.com/ also redirect to the Italian WikiMac... And I also get redirected to the italian WikiMac when my edits are saved (for example, when I save this I'm taken to http://it.mac.wikicities.com/wiki/Discussione:Technical_support#WikiMac_.28Italian.29_has_taken_over_all_Wikicity_redirections). – Jello 08:33, 5 Feb 2005 (PST)
 * Ow... this is gonna hurt WikiMac more than you think. I'd better request a name change to Bill Gates. ;-P


 * Seriously, I'll go on IRC real soon and ask for it to be corrected. Mi dispiace, I'm sorry. --DavidFeng 08:43, 5 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * The problem seems to be that $wgServer="http://it.mac.wikicities.com"; had been added to localsettings.php. I have no idea why that was added, but it's commented out now. Angela 09:32, 5 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * Thank you, Angela! :-)

dememoryalpha with DB-errors
Hi, this is Florian from the german version of Memory Alpha. Since a day or two we have database-error when updating articles, which read as follows:

Es gab einen Syntaxfehler in der Datenbankabfrage. Die letzte Datenbankabfrage lautete: REPLACE INTO `searchindex` (si_page,si_title,si_text) VALUES ('5639','sovermaschinen',' der maschinenraum der sovereign-klasse sovereign -klasse - bildparamount ') aus der Funktion "SearchUpdate::doUpdate". MySQL meldete den Fehler "1016: Can't open file: 'searchindex.MYD'. (errno: 145) (localhost)"

Looks like there are problems regarding the searchindex-table. Thanks for hep in advance. -- Florian -     23:25, 2 Mar 2005 (GMT)


 * I've had a few problems with Memory Alpha today as well, and have already emailed Jason about this. It seems to be very temporary though, unlike last time. If you refresh the page, it will probably load successfully the second time. Angela 23:55, 2 Mar 2005 (GMT)


 * Thanks for your fast feedback! Updating is not the problem, though. Although the error is shown, the data is updated properly. The real problem is based on the searchindex-table, which can't be updated. No wiki-search is possible due to this, too. Let's say, this wiki working but limping. -- Florian -     13:20, 3 Mar 2005 (GMT)

Works again, fine and smooth! Thanks a lot! -- Florian -     12:37, 5 Mar 2005 (GMT)

dememoryalpha with DB issues again
Sorry, it's me again. At first big THANKS for the new server achitecture. It rocks! So please excuse my complains, maybe you are already working on it: dememoryalpha doesn't connect to brussels for any reason. http://enmemoryalpha.wikicities.com/de/wiki/Hauptseite reads "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)". English and dutch versions are working. -- Florian -     17:59, 16 Mar 2005 (EST)


 * Reported at bug 91 and also emailed to Jason. Angela 15:39, 17 Mar 2005 (EST)
 * Thanks for your reply, it is fixed. -- Florian -     03:59, 18 Mar 2005 (EST)

abi wiki is offline
Hello! Well, unfortunately, there's not much traffic in the abi wiki in general ;-), however, since some time it is completely offline ("The requested URL could not be retrieved"). Hope you can help. -- FProg (   ) 06:22, 21 Mar 2005 (EST)
 * Bugzilla reports, that Bug 93 is fixed. Although, my Firefox (as well as IE 6) shows errors: "Invalid URL" (Generated Tue, 22 Mar 2005 16:31:36 GMT by proxy (squid/2.5.STABLE7). Maybe it#s not only a problem of host-proxy but of client-proxy configuration? -- Florian -     10:32, 22 Mar 2005 (EST)
 * Uh... working again. However, I thought I veryfied that it was no client-proxy problem... well, don't know ;-) -- FProg (   ) 17:15, 22 Mar 2005 (EST)


 * The underscore in the URL caused problems when we upgraded the servers. It should work ok from now on though. Angela 01:30, 23 Mar 2005 (EST)

Cookie problems at MA
Problem has emerged only in the last few minutes. Whilst logged in, attempted to carry out rollback of vandalism, only to be given the message "There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Please hit "back" and reload the page you came from, then try again." Did so, to no avail. Then decided to log out and log back in again, to see if that would work. Logged out fine, but when attempting to log in, message comes up "Memory Alpha uses cookies to log in users. You have cookies disabled. Please enable them and try again.", when this is not the case. Assistance, please? -- Michael Warren | Talk 10:06, 22 Mar 2005 (EST)
 * I'm having a similar problem. When I wanted to edit a page I just couldn't exit the preview screen, hitting the submit button did always bring me back to the preview. When I tried in another browser it did work fine (without account). Now I did log out from MA and could edit the page, but when wanted to log in again, the software tells me I have to enable cookies. Apparently they are enabled. -- Kobi - (   ) 11:09, 22 Mar 2005 (EST)
 * Another interesting case: I can't log out on MA/de. Seems as the cookies were kind of read-only, so that the wiki-software can't change them. When I try to login while being logged in, I get the same cookie-warning. -- FProg (   ) 17:15, 22 Mar 2005 (EST)
 * I am also encountering the same problem at MA, with cookies and the preview page. Even signing out doesn't fix it, I can't edit articles whatsoever. (Enzo Aquarius) 65.93.202.14 21:12, 22 Mar 2005 (EST)


 * This was a problem with the cookie domain. I had added a call to include the default globabl settings file and had forgotten that the MA sites needed different cookie domains. Jasonr (answer copied from bugzilla)

Statistics
Both the webalizer (e.g. Calgary webalizer) & wikicities stats seem to have not been updated in a few weeks. Will this be coming back soon? I do like seeing this information. -- JamesTeterenko 21:43, 30 Mar 2005 (EST)
