Very Urgent Question
Dear Angela/Jason,

I'm David Feng and I have wikimac.wikicites.com. A few minutes ago I went to the Wikicity G. Knowledge and saw they had their subtitles (e.g. "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia") under the titles, so I copied the code and placed it on WikiMac.

Then all hell essentially broke loose. I can now no longer access wikimac.wikicities.com as far I as can try. I tried to go back and to refix the monobook.css modification (which was what I did -- I guess -- to mess it up). Nothing worked. wikimac.wikicities.com still works via ping, but the site is dead.

I think the English language fails in my desparation at this moment, it is 1:30 AM and I seriously doubt if I could get a peaceful night. Your help in any form would be appreciated in full.

Yours truly sincerely, David Feng

bureaucrat status lost
Hi Jason,

David from WikiMac here. I've lost the bureaucrat status or at least I can no longer delete, protect, etc... pages, and I'd like to request bureaucrat status additionally for zh.wikimac as well as wikimac (English).

Thanks! --DavidFeng 03:35, 14 Dec 2004 (PST)

Interlanguage error on WikiMac
Sincere apologies for un-Macintosh-like behaviour (i.e. world domination) on your talk page (given that the previous two requests also came from this same David Feng.

Onwards -- there is a problem. The only site that's not affected is zh.mac.wikicities. If I add whatever (or any language code), there's a link in "languages". But on other versions of WikiMac, there's a bug. It's impossible on any other non-ZH wiki to create an English link that would go on "languages" (on the left sidebar in Monobook view), and links to other languages on the English edition (mac.wikicities) turn out to be a red link at the bottom of the page.

BTW, would it also be OK to create en.mac.wikicities and then redirect that to mac.wikicities?

Thanks, and apologies for dominating your talk page,

 * No problem (regarding the domination). I just forgot to add the EN links to the interlanguage links settings.  I just added the EN links.  Let me know if you have any more trouble


 * Also, I've set up en.mac.wikicities.com to work as you requested. Jasonr 12:15, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * Thanks Jason. Another (minor) problem: look at the bottom of mac.wikicities -- the DE, FR, IT and ES links aren't in the lang. navbar yet. If you could fix that i'td be great. Also if you could add en.wikimac and redirect that to mac.wikicities, that would also be great. Thanks again. :) --DavidFeng 17:48, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * Ouch that one was tricky... I spent a while looking at it, but it turned out to be a very simple fix...  I just had to change the page, and save it.  So, I would assume that other pages that have had the interlanguage links on them since before I got them set up correctly will also have this problem.  Just editing the page fixed it for me (I'm not sure if an edit marked as "minor" would have the same effect).  en.wikimac is also set up now. Jasonr 22:28, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * Same thing with images that don't exist (as in, if you're importing a page before the images for that page), you have to add some kind of mark to the page to get it to save as an edit (minors count) so that the page will be re-rendered. Shame there's no way to do that by clicking a button or something. --Me at work 22:41, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)
