When on mobile, I can click the pencil icons to edit specific sections in the visual editor, but I prefer using the source editor. When I switch to the source editor, it instead loads the whole page. Is there a way to edit specific sections with the source editor on mobile, or change my preferences to use the source editor by default on mobile? Which brings me to my other issue: trying to access Special:Preferences on any Fandom wiki (I can access and change my preferences on Gamepedia) brings me to a "Database locked" message.

"The database is currently locked to new entries and other modifications, probably for routine database maintenance, after which it will be back to normal.

The system administrator who locked it offered this explanation: Our main datacenter is down, you are accessing our backup datacenter. We are working to fix the problem"

I assumed this was because of the migration to the UCP, but it's been a while since then and I still can't change my Fandom preferences. Are other people having this problem?

Hey,

There's a page which compiles several minor characters on my wiki and I used anchors for this. For example: Secondary Characters#Smith, Secondary Characters#Doe, Secondary Characters#John, etc.

How can I get all the anchors (in this case: Smith, Doe, John, etc.) to make sure I'm not forgetting someone?

Hello there! I have a feeling like I've seen how to do this somewhere, but I really can't remember, so I'll be asking it here. How do you add certain custom user rights?

If nobody understands what I mean, then I might be using the wrong terminology for it, so let me elaborate: for instance, there are some Wikis that have "tags" (by tags I mean things like the Sysop, Bureaucrat, Rollbacker, etc. beside the username) that aren't initially in the options. Some examples of these are the dates that people joined, random things like "Artist" or "Dweeb," etc.

Do you have to request for these? If not, how do you "make" them? And how will you give them to Users?

I've been getting a lot of 503 errors while editing lately. These happen mainly when I try to load up the Visual Editor or try to open up an article preview while editing. Has anyone else been experiencing this lately? Does Fandom know about it?

I've been doing this edit for a month. And nrothing had changed. Everytime I want to edit a character, the description becomes shorter and was really frustrating. Can anyone help me?

When I load a page, the categories are stacked on top of each other! This goes away after a second, but it's still annoying. Why is this happening?

I don't know if I'm the only one but on the wiki that I help I have around 600 edits and once in a while I have around 20 edits and once I edit something my edits go back to normal but after a while it it says I have 20 edits even though I have 600 edits. Also I see this happen to others on the wiki that I help as well but it doesn't always happen to them it happens about once a week I'd say. So is it a visual bug or what because it's annoying me.

How do I do a Redirect using Visual Editor?

Hey Fandom, I would like to report a bug about uploading PNG images. Every time I upload a new PNG image, it would show the new image that was already uploaded but then a sudden glitch happens where the image gets switch from new to what it originally look like on some Terraria wikis.

So, I turned on Europa Infobox Theme, but when I visited a certain page, it wasn't following the Wiki's theme! So I checked a few other pages, but they're all good. It's just that one page's infobox not working. Anyone help?

Edit: All fixed, just took some time ;)

Is there a way to get a complete list of redlinks from a wiki? Or, if a complete list is unfeasable, is there any way to get a list bigger than the 1k links on "Special:WantedPages"?

Thanks in advance.

I tried looking around on the dev wiki, but I couldn't really find any scripts. And I assume the ones made for wikipedia won't work.

Is there some kind of script I could have in my personal JS to change the summary?

AGAIN??!! What's the matter with Fandom?

What's going on???

So I have an animated image that's animated through css and I do not have a gif for it. Is there any way I can put that animated image inside an infobox?

I am only able to upload some pictures to be my profile picture.

Others, of course, show errors.

I am editing through the Community Central Wiki, have tried using .png, .jpeg, and a few other formats, have edited the picture to be square, and have tried after waiting. I have no idea whether this is a problem with my picture or...?

I'm about to delete the remaining pages on the namespace 1 (Talk). They're basically an old link to a comment (on article) that has been posted before UCP. Now it seems that all the talk migrations have been completed, and we can see that these old comments even appear on the right place of user contributions, that is User > Activity > Comments.

But they also appear as a duplicate in the user "Contributions" tab, because they were considered wiki editions before UCP. And they generate logs on "What links here" pages and on "File usage" sections, because they contain wiki links. Now those logs have little to no use, as these links were all converted to HTML on the actual comment. And even if the comment is edited by an admin, the root link located on the Talk namespace won't be updated.

So my question, before I delete a few thousands of these UCP migration rubbish is: do you think these links could be useful for anything? Like, could I be causing more trouble to the wiki by deleting them?
