Forum:My Latest Activity numbers are off for articles.

I made a wiki changed a few things but somehow I managed to get the amount of articles on the wiki messed up. Under Latest Activity it is showing the amount of articles as 18,446,744,073,709,551,61 and so on. Not sure how to fix it please help.Innocentppl 03:12, August 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * What wiki are you on? I would guess that it'll be ok once you add a few new articles. -- ◄mendel► 19:24, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Some wikis have the same problem, an example. 19:29, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, good example. The page counter was set to 0 when the wiki was created. Soem pages were created, then deleted; and then the mainpage was deleted; this would bring the page count to -1, but the binary representation for that is the same as 18,446,744,073,709,551,615, which the wiki displays. (One more page must have been lost, because the count was 1 less, even.)
 * Adding pages fixed it, but trying to edit those gets me the error

"A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

/*id=20100822195601*/ (SQL query hidden)

from within function "Database::delete". Database returned error "1146: Table 'narutonextgenerationrisefromtheshadows836.page_wikia_props' doesn't exist (10.8.32.28)".
 * This probably means one thing: don't delete your main page. (Why would you? Blanking it should be fine, or going to the history, loading the very first version, and saving that.) -- ◄mendel► 19:58, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I cannot Special:Export the first two pages I created; and while I can successfully edit page 3 and 4, saving my edit (it is indeed saved!) results in the above error. -- ◄mendel► 20:03, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the responses :D Also I get the same error as mentioned above is there anyway to fix that? I am plagued with it on my laptop -.- for some reason or other times it just says 404 page not found ("for page not found" that only occurs on my laptop, the site is fine on my desktop computer other than it saying the "prop error" one time as mentioned above.) Also for some reason I got a database is locked message?Innocentppl 03:12, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh and this is the wiki I am using [] -- Innocentppl 03:57, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I suggest using w:c:dfobuilds:Special:Contact to report your problem. Link to this thread. To investigate it further, you're likely going to need somebody with server access.
 * What is different on your laptop? Are yuo using a different browser? Does it have Javascript turned off? different operating system? -- ◄mendel► 05:19, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Operating system is the same (windows 7), browser is the same (firefox), checking Javascript, but I am guessing my laptop is missing something that is why it keeps coming up with the 404 error. I reported the "database lock" issue there but I will go ahead and report the rest of the problems and link them to this page as well. -- Innocentppl 06:49, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you logged in on both? -- ◄mendel► 07:02, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
