Forum:My Wiki seems to be broken

My wiki (w:c:tehabridgedseries) seems to be broken. After the latest update, all the buttons except the edit button won't work. The add category button and the Contribute buttons don't work, and I can't edit page names or change their protection. Also, even after clearing my cache, my changes to the MediaWiki:Common.js still haven't shown. Does anybody know what's wrong with my wiki, or how to fix it?

 * I just went to wiki and tried out a bunch of things you mentioned and I didn't have any problems. All the buttons are working. Are you sure you don't have any weird scripts in your wikia.js or global.js or something else on your end? Tried logging out?


 * I was worried that it might only be me :S I tried logging out and logging back in, but that didn't fix it. No other wiki is doing this to me. If it's a problem with my wikia.js or global.js, then how do I fix it? I'm sorry to sound so newbish but I rather new to wikis Mattroks101 (talk) 04:41, August 3, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I checked your personal scripts (global.js and wikia.js) and you don't have any set up, so don't worry about that. In order to help debug, can you tell me exactly what happens when you try to do the following actions?


 * 1) Adding categories: On w:c:tehabridgedseries:Bleach, at the bottom of the article click where it says Add category. Type in  . Press Enter. Click Save. What happens? Does it freeze? Does the category get added successfully?
 * 2) Testing move page: Go to w:c:tehabridgedseries:Bleach, click the arrow on the Edit button, choose Rename, and try to rename the page to Bleach2. Does it work? If not, do you get some kind of error message, does the screen freeze, what happens?
 * 3) Testing contribute button: On your wiki, in the upper-right corner of the screen click the Contribute button. Click Add a page. Try to create a new page called Testing. What happens? Does it work?


 * For me, there's no add category button.When I click on arrow nothing happens. It doesn't give me an error or anything, just, nothing happens at all. Same for clicking on the contribute button.


 * When there is an option to add category, and I click it this is all that happens


 * It takes me back to the top of the page and shows that in my url. It didn't do this before the latest wikia update. I tried doing the same thing on both my other computers and with the same effect. I always assumed it did this to everyone... Kinda starting to make me worry there's something wrong with my internet. Regardless, thank you for all your help so far :D Mattroks101 (talk) 05:14, August 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hmmmm, okay that definitely is odd. I don't think it's anything that could be caused by your internet though... anyways, I'm afraid that's nothing I can help with. It *could* be a problem or your end, or it *could* also be a bug on Wikia's end. You could try waiting a couple days and see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't, what I'd recommend is filing a bug report at Special:Contact/bug and a Wikia staff member will reply to your email. Make sure that you tell them all relevant details. Helpful information to provide in your bug report would be:
 * a screenshot of the problem
 * links to wiki pages where you're having problems
 * whether you're using a desktop, laptop, Mac, iPad, etc.
 * What operating system you're using
 * What web browser you're using
 * For example, I personally am using an HP laptop running the Windows 7 operating system with Google Chrome web browser. Under those conditions, I don't see any of the problems you're experiencing on your wiki.


 * Ok MathMagician will do. Thank you again so much for you help. Peace. (As a side note, I am running Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop. Mattroks101 (talk) 05:35, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Did you install NoScript or a similar web privacy program? When I first installed NoScript I ran into something similar. (I've told NoScript to allow Wikia, and the problem went away.) PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) contribs) 12:17, August 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't think I installed Noscript. All I've done is modify my MediaWiki:Wikia.css to make it so that it won't show usernames under thumbnails. That and try to add the show/hide script to MediaWiki:Common.js. Mattroks101 (talk) 13:02, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
