Forum:Reporting missing block notices and missing user right logs

Reporting two bugs: It seems that only on my wiki, Ben 10 wiki that the user rights log is missing. Also only on my wiki, the rectangle that appears when you block someone that contains the block info is gone too. Would this be a effect of the new transparentcy feature used on backgrounds since the Ben 10 wiki seems to have it on. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 02:25, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

 *  B10M : What do you mean when you say that the userrights log is missing? Do you mean this log? ’Cause I can see it. If not, would you give us a link to the where the log should be?""As for the other point, we are experiencing the same thing at our wiki. Whenever I go to the contribs page of a blocked user, there is no block notice at the top. I’ve been combing all the pages in the MediaWiki namespace trying to find the message that should be appearing so that I can refer to it here, but so far I cannot track it down. — Spike Toronto  02:41, July 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, i cant give you a link since its the user right log in the user right management place, below where you manage the rights, you have to be a bureaucrat so i cant give you the link. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 02:43, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

You mentioned the "User Rights Log" meaning this log. If you were talking about the "User Rights Management", which isn't a log, you should've specified. –  Jä zz  i  03:06, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

Go to a place where your a crat, go to someone's user right's management and then go all the way down, it will say User Rights Log. Okay. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 03:15, July 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well considering that this happens on your wiki's user right's log, I can assume the same is happening on the User right's management, because it's fine everywhere else. Now you should report this to staff instead of trying to create forums so you can report "all" the known bugs to staff. –  Jä zz  i  03:23, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

I actually see what he's talking about, it's missing on the Fairy Tail Wiki as well.

P.S. Adding staff needed. — Spike Toronto  04:30, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * No. B10M is right. That too is missing from our wiki. If you are a Bureaucrat, and you go to change someone’s userrights, the log specific to their userrights history at the bottom of the page is empty. And Jazzi, if you had read my comment above and B10M’s answer you would have better understood what he was talking about and not have repeated the same link that was already given. I know that people have been coming down on B10M recently, and with understandable reasons, but that’s no reason to pile on here. And, the only mistake he made was coming up with such a lousy name for this thread: It is not remotely descriptive of the problem. That is no reason to assume that he’s attempting the same type of bug-reporting forum he did the other day. This is legit. And now we know it’s a problem on at least three wikis … er, make that four … it’s happening on yours too: See this blocked user here whose contribs page is not showing a block message. So, if our sampling of three out of four wikis suggests a Wikia-wide issue, then are we not glad that B10M raised the issue? Thanks! — Spike Toronto  04:30, July 31, 2011 (UTC)


 *  UPDATE1 : Zeldapedia is showing block notices at the top of contribs pages. (See here.) But, the other three of us are still not seeing them (example), as well as the userrights log that should be at the bottom of  . — Spike Toronto  04:46, July 31, 2011 (UTC)


 *  UPDATE2 : It is happening here at Community Central also. See this blocked user here. Thanks! — Spike Toronto  05:04, July 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not happening at Pokemon wiki, nor is it happening at mariowiki, the places i actually heavily contribute to lately. Along with that, it's showing fine for me on Zeldapedia. -- Jä zz  i  05:27, July 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is not really something to tag staff needed so much as it is just something to about. In which case I have already done so.--

This is related to the new editor. On wikis that have the new editor operating, you do not get a block notice at the top of a blocked user’s contribs page (example). Plus, the block notice does not appear when one goes to edit such an individual’s talkpage (see example). ""However, if the wiki does not have the new editor operating, you do get a block notice at the top of a blocked user’s contribs page (example). Plus, the block notice does appear when one goes to edit such an individual’s talkpage (example). ""As I understand it, the techies have been working on the notification system for the new editor, trying to simplify it. In so doing, it seems that (yet another) system message has been completely disabled. The block notices will not even show up if one is using the Monobook skin. Still think this is not a matter for staff GodIsMe? I thought I liked this editor, but it seems to be creating more headaches than it solves … two steps forward, one step back. — Spike Toronto  07:13, July 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Point me to where I said this is not an issue for staff. As I recall, I only said it is not a matter to be tagged staff needed but rather to send into staff through special:contact where it will be filed properly and looked at sooner.--

P.S. I am starting to lose count of, and to lose track of, just how many system messages (i.e., those in the MediaWiki namespace) are no longer functional with our new editor … … or should that be … … — Spike Toronto  07:25, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, one could have added this via the comments to either of those Try the new editor … and/or Updates to the new editor … blogs, but they’ve gotten sooooooo long that they’re becoming useless: A forum seemed the next best alternative. By the way, when would you consider it appropriate to use the staff needed template? Thanks! — Spike Toronto  07:25, July 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * @Jazzi and Godisme- I contacted staff about this and i made this forum to link to the message i gave at special:contact so the staff can have a better understanding of the situation since there are many people commenting, no need to ALWAYS disagree with me because you guys dislike me.  Okay.  Why dont you two try on my shoes for once and see that i have to take so much hate everyday from you people.  TheBen10Mazter  (Talk -Blog -Contribs)  15:28, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
