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)
