Forum:Disappearing images

As of now, most of my images aren't showing up either on pages or in the Images category. Any info or fix appreciated.

 * Got the same issue over at OgreLair.org Wiki. Is there a backup going on or something else taxing to the servers? 17:25, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

I just put up a Site Notice at my wiki so everyone who reads there will know it's not them; you might want to do the same thing at yours.

Happening on the Cyber Nations Wiki as well, seems to be random for the most part; one day an image is there, the next it isn't, and it's back in another. ~Azu-nyan - 19:35, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

May as well put in my report too. Happening at InfoDepot Wiki too.WifiShadow 19:53, August 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I just received e-mail from Wikia re: the problem and they are working on repairing the servers causing this to happen.

 * There's a known problem at the moment with image serving and Wikia's working to fix it as soon as they can. Just stay patient and it should all be over soon :) Joey (talk) 20:02, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Site Notice
How would I implement this "site notice"?WifiShadow 17:59, August 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Edit the 'system' page on your wiki called MediaWiki:sitenotice which pop up a short message to user's when they visit the site which they can dismiss once read. Remember to remove when problem fixed. Note: only admins can edit it. (the "MediaWiki:" name space contains all sorts of system message pages and other functions used to customise the site) - BulldozerD11 18:51, August 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * On the left of your wiki where the menu, etc. is, there's a link marked "Help". This is the help section for your wiki, so click it. When you get to the "Help" page, click "Beyond the Basics", then click the link marked "Help index". You'll see a link there called "Site Notice--click that, then click the link marked "Mediawiki:sitenotice" because that is where you can work with Site notices for your wiki. Follow what the section, "How does the site notice work?" tells you to do, and you'll be able to put up a Site Notice that will display on all of your wiki's pages.

Hope you don't mind, I created the Site Notice issue as a separate section. With regards to this, I diverted the WikiGardener front page as the site was named "WikiGardener Wiki" when it was first created, so I made a redirect to a page titled "WikiGardener" as that was the intended name. As a result site notices do not appear on this page. How do I change the site's main page over? And while we're on the subject, does anyone know how to change it so that it doesn't say "WikiGardener Wiki" on any pasted links to the site and page names in browser tabs?
