Forum:Template and undeleteable material help needed

I'm an admin over at the Monster High wiki and I have come across three situations I need help with.


 * I'm trying to get a random image generator up for the front page. Only, rather than images I'm using templates that all follow the same image-type design. For the random generator I use the code Template  and it seems to work (I'm playing around with three finished templates), but only slowly. Like, every hour or so rather than whenever I refresh. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is it because I'm not using images? The template can be found here.
 * There's two (deleted) articles in my Follow list that I can't remove. Every time I hit the "X" in front of them, they disappear, but they return when I refresh. Is there something I can do about this?
 * It seems that at some point someone moved a blog post to a none-user specific location, resulting in this page that does not exist. Is there a way I can remove this nonexistent page?

I'd be very grateful with some help here. Parrotbeak (talk) 14:24, November 13, 2012 (UTC)

 * Choose/Option is executed when the page is saved. To change the image, it must be purged and regenerated. Add  to the URL. There's a trick with embedding invisible forums in the page to cause it to automatically purge itself everytime it's viewed but I don't have a link to the description handy.
 * Try following the links to the deleted page then click "Unfollow" in your Wikia toolbar instead. That tends to be much more reliable then the watchlist interface.
 * If you can't delete it with admin rights, contact the Staff as you may have triggered some sort of weird edge case in their code.

 * Another method of choosing a random image is to use DPL, after requesting that DPL be enabled on your wiki, this should work: Monster_High_Wiki:Sandbox#DPL_random_image
 * For the watchlist problem, you can also try: Special:Watchlist/raw.
