Dewback Wing Wiki Template Error
Hello, I sent in an email on a template I was having trouble with, and you were kind enough to fix it for me. I want to say thank you for the help and if you could fix it again, as all the text is white and you cannot read anything in the template. You said that you copied the CSS file over and I am additionally curious if I can edit it directly or not? The template is Template:Droid Infobox and on a page where I have the template, Lucky, towards the bottom of the page, you can see the error.

If you can add it to my user talk page located at Compile It will be a great help to me.

Again, thank you for your help.

OggHandler extension on RuneScape Wiki
The OggHandler extension does not work in RuneScape Wiki. When played, there is a blank screen. After a while, there is an error message displayed on the player.

I checked the versions, and the one installed in our wiki (r36977) is different from the one in MediaWiki (r42275). Is there a way to "upgrade" the extension to the newer version?

I believe that upgrading the extension would solve the "blank screen" problem. Az 12:39, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would solve it, and based on the other emails we've gotten on this issue, the technical team is aware of this and is looking into upgrading the required code/programs. --Uberfuzzy 21:47, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Could you please use checkuser on Vadal12345the3rd, Vadal12345the2nd and Vadal12345? In case it's not a proxy, could you please put a wiki wide block on him? I believe he creates an account in a wiki that's not the one he vandalizes (Avatar Wiki), so blocking IP's there has no effect on him, check using both "Vadal" and "Vandal", he's used with and without the N, though I don't remember in which account.

RecentChanges?limit=50
Ok, I found the bug, and it's a real beauty.

So what happens? $opts->add( 'limit' ...) initialized the limit with a default of presumably 50, but the value is set to null at this time. The value is set from prefs in line 54. Then fetchValuesFromRequest does not set the value from the URL if it is equal to the default, so if it is 50, the 50 never gets set.

It's a really nice wtf, because what do you have to lose by setting the value if it is the default? Is this such an expensive operation that it is worth it adding a condition that runs on all of the options to avoid it? Just deleting the "$value !== $default" condition and setting the default value if it is given seems the smart thing to do, even if it means that the option gets set with a value it already has in some circumstances. --◄mendel► 09:07, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Infobox problem
I'm helping out with another wiki for a community I go to. I was involved in another wiki project (you might remember me) anyways, I put an infobox on a page and instead of it displaying it gives an Template:Infobox at the upper left corner of the screen. Just wondering what this is about. Does the wiki need to support infoboxes? Scorpion123 20:53, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm going to need more information then that. A link to the template, page its being used on, or atleast what wiki would be greatly helpful here. --Uberfuzzy 22:09, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, haven't been feeling well past couple of days, so I'm sort of "out of the loop" lol. Anyways. Here is the page I'm having issues with. On any other wiki I can add an infobox, but this particular one it just displays an "Template:Infobox" http://submachine.wikia.com/wiki/Secrets Scorpion123 04:15, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Tractor Wiki (stats problem)
Hi uberfuzzy, not sure if this is your thing !

1) But the list of "Most Visited Pages" Here is not updating, when i first started looking at it, the page was updating daily. Now i think its not updated for about a month ? The "Referrers" box at the side updates regularly (the odd one disappears some times for a period then reappears) ?

2) How do I get a Proper set of edit butons on the Nav boxes as per Wikipedia ones ? I got a work round way from Trams wiki but they appear at the center and not the Lhs to mach the (show/hide] button. This is one that uses it Tractor manufacturers. I Also have a group of templates that transclude a list in the middle of a page (for consistency, page size reduction, and allows editing off the main pages) Example here, these could do with having edit buttons at top and possibly collapsible for bigger ones later but without the Navbox look.

3) I'm learning template coding but porting them from wikipedia gives as many problems as it solves due to the interlinking nature & extensive use of them in the documentation pages, Delinking some of the stuff and swaping from calling WP pages to pages on the wiki are giving issues at times. When they call the Wikipedia Name space is there a short way of calling the "Tractor & Construction Plant Wiki" one (i.e like w: is used for wikia: )?

4) Display issues with the Msg box suit from wikipedia Ambox (Ombox was fixed by its creator but I could not understand the explanation :( given and he was busy on WP projects.) Ombox

 * Thanks Sixorish Ill try that (its alot shorter than full title any way but not as short as w: for wikia:  ) - BulldozerD11 19:48, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Item 3 solved But rest ? Do I need to talk to a different dept or a solution ? The lack of page stats are annoying as once id found the function I was checking what was happening now it not worked for over a month. Is this a Wikimedia SW problem or have I broke something ??- BulldozerD11
 * Item 4 Sorted now Thanks Uberfuzzy. (I've had ago at related templates but now get a block of the Doc page inside a MSgbox example so I've broke a loop !! (not reverted edit as not really in use yet any way).
 * Item 1 still not updating ?
 * Item 2 (part fixed) see discussion on wiki (re Tnavbar )
 * Note this reply just to tidy discussion up here for other parties reading. Discussion at Tractors.wikia/wiki/User Talk:Uberfuzzy
 * Thanks - BulldozerD11 03:40, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) Just to let you know the "Special:Most visited pages" has now updated. will see if it updates regularly !
 * 2) Tnavbar appears to be working with the edir buttons ok sonce upgrade.
 * See there is now a Template Wiki, with some simplified versions of Standard templates and a impimentation of the {documentation} template. Could be an idea to let existing wkis know about them (I see new wikis get them automaticaly). - BulldozerD11 23:46, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Wheel of Time interwiki
Pardon my ignorance; is there a caching/time-delay while interwiki updates propagate through the Wikia system? I only ask because you marked Special:ProblemReports/17969 fixed but it doesn't appear to work to the Dutch version, only from. -- nae'blis 22:52, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No need to pardon, its a perfectly good question. Yes there is. Its on about a 3 hour timer. the link didnt exist on the nl page, so it pulled it in immediately, but because the link existed somewhere on the en wiki, its got the invalid one cached. Sometime in the next (upto) 3 hours, it will get reloaded, and it should work. you may have to resave the page though --Uberfuzzy (talk) 23:02, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Blacklist?
Hello Uberfuzzy. As the RuneScape Wiki does not (nor any other wikia currently has) a blacklist, can you add anything including "Dominator194" to the blacklist please? Some idiot keeps using a proxy to create this page, or pages with the name and something afterward Dominator194 runesecape, etc), ignoring warnings, our policy, and evading our blocks.

Bully Wikia and possible copyright problems
Hey Uberfuzzy. I'm McJeff, one of two bureaucrats from Bully Wiki, and I'm concerned that the wikia is pushing the limits of the fair use policy on text.

The issue is that Bully has many characters, and each character has its own article, and each article has a list of quotes from each character. In most cases the quotes are limited to 20. Now I think this is already stretching fair use policy on text to the breaking point, but my co-bureaucrat wants to extend the limit to 30.

I'm very uneasy about that since again I think it's a Fair Use violation, but I'm alone in that opinion, yet I don't think this is just a content dispute. So, I have to ask here.

I've been referring to Wikipedia's fair use policy on text for this. McJeff 18:54, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, who can do it? Klow 13:20, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Staff members. The 888th Avatar  (Talk) 14:25, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * So I guess you can do it, Uberfuzzy?... Klow 16:49, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

We generally do not support the idea of removing admin rights just due to inactivity. I will remove his bureaucrat rights in this case, but please be aware, that if he/she becomes active again, and requests adminship again, it should be granted with less hassle then a normal user requested adminship because they left in good standing without any problems. --Uberfuzzy 17:20, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the hassle, it was not my purpose. You should have answered before The 888th Avatar in the first place... Anyway I completely understand! ;-) Klow 19:15, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Please help us to check User
It seems that User:Vaiok and User:VR2036AI are User:Sam2009's Sock puppetries, and they may take part in the personal attacks for other users--疾風綾希 06:03, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Help! Vandalism!
Please help! There is a lot of extreme vandalism at spore.wikia.com. Please help and prevent 80.44.254.144 from creating accounts, because I think he is the one behind it! Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs 16:10, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Nevermind. The vandals stopped and "surrendered." Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs 16:28, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Editing problem
I use monobook skin. Before:  After:  I can not see the page title. Strip of tools is at the top. Can you fix it? --Gudyś 17:05, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I noticed this too. Along with that came a new Show Preview bar; it's halfway under the top navbar. This is an image showing the old and new previews. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  18:41, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

scratchpad - academicjobs redirect
When http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Ecology_(includes_organismal_and_environmental_science) was changed to academicjobs, updates were lost from 2/25-3/4 and the tables lost formatting. Thanks for your help getting it back. 67.142.129.52 17:07, 4 March 2009 (UTC)jobs1937
 * I've moved the missing revisions over, but i dont know what you mean by "tables lost formatting" --Uberfuzzy 00:10, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * All of the tables used to have lines separating the rows / columns. All of these lines are gone throughout most of the academicjobs pages. The main table on wiki/Ecology now has a new table border format. Whatever happened when the site was transitioned changed the border format for tables. The updates I know about have not been updated (University of Vermont, University of Victoria in the main table; Discussion where I indicated NSF funding rates still missing, etc...). 67.142.129.52 02:57, 6 March 2009 (UTC)Jobs1937
 * Ok, i'll double check the CSS that might be affecting the tables. Please go to academicjobs and use the 'report a problem' link in the article footer, to mark the page, and i'll get it copied ahead of schedule. we're working on getting all of them copied over, but are taking requests to do some of them manually now. --Uberfuzzy 03:00, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Any luck with the CSS? None of the tables are rendering the way they did before the move. It's especially difficult to read tables without any borders, particularly when a cell contains >10 lines of text - you can't figure out what item in column 1 goes with what in column 2. I've marked the particular page twice now - and you've marked it as fixed (even though it's not). I've marked it a third time. Thanks for your help.
 * Css fixed. Scratch pad and a tableclass called "wikitable" that everyone always assumes is some magic built in thing like the 'sortable' thing. its not, its just a normal css class that makes the table look a certain way. I've copied it over
 * As for your missing changes, I've imported over the missing revisions. That does not magiclly make them appear into the text since someone has edited the page. They are inserted at the date in the page history when they occurred originally. I have no idea what changes to keep/not keep, someone will have to manually recover the information from the page history that has knowledge of the content of the subject matter. --Uberfuzzy 01:36, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I understand. Thanks for fixing the tables. I'll try and figure out what to manually update. I appreciate the help.

Edit count
My edit count seems to messed up. Last time I checked I had nearly 5000 contributions over all of wikia. Totaling everything up it still is over 5000, but the total says 2309. i don't know how it happened. &mdash; 01:44, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Even as I edit more, it stays as 2309. &mdash; [[Image:BalisticSig.png]] 01:57, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Never mind. it's all better now. back to correct count. &mdash; [[Image:BalisticSig.png]] 02:26, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Problem
Hey Fuzzy. If you'll see here, there is a problem and it also reveals a bug in the Video system. Someone tried to upload something to a "Special" video page (the first video in the list), and I can't delete it. -- LordTBT Talk! 20:16, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

potential issue...
logged out users aren't seeing rolled back revisions, for some reason on tibia (most people, anyway. This means that the links are still there for them), any reason why? -- Sixorish 14:43, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

deleting the entire page and restoring the good revisions won't work either... -- Sixorish 02:31, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you
for dealing with the IP problem. Like the beard by the way.Fair field fencer F F F  11:36, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Wikia welcome tool
Uberfuzzy,

I have a few questions about the wikia welcome bot. First off, I would like to know if we can disable it welcoming IP's. Secondly, I would like to know how to stop it from creating userpages for users. If you could provide this information, or point me to someone who can, it would be most appreciated! 15:11, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry to butt in Uber, but:
 * Forum:New features coming on Wednesday
 * Specifically, look for the page MediaWiki:Welcome-user. This can be set to "@disabled" to disable the auto-welcome. -- sulfur 16:11, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * We currently have it disabled for all users. However, we would like it to welcome users who have signed up for a new account, but not anonymous editors. Am I able to put "@disabled" in MediaWiki:Welcome-message-anon and have it not welcome IP's, or would it simply welcome them with "@disabled" ? 18:46, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Leave that feedback on Forum:New features coming on Wednesday so the team working on that project sees it --Uberfuzzy 19:32, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
