Forum:SH:MediaWiki 1.19 upgrade

Wookieepedia has been upgraded to MediaWiki version 1.19. Some changes: &mdash;MJ&mdash; Comlink Tuesday, June 26, 2012, 17:49 UTC
 * On Monobook, there is now a border all the way around the body of the page.
 * All pages with red file links will be shown in Category:Pages with broken file links. This category is automatically generated by the software and AFAIK is not something we can rename or get rid of.
 * On category pages, subcats, pages, and files now page separately, and up to 200 of each are shown instead of up to 200 of all three combined. An example of this can be seen in Category:Battles of the Galactic Civil War and Category:Unsourced quotes. This renders the reason behind this decision moot, and I will be starting a CT to change that policy shortly.
 * The move page interface has been changed so that the new pagename is now entered separately from the namespace, which is selected from a dropdown box.

Bug reports
Please list any bugs here.

[DEV] AJAX recent changes

 * The AJAX watchlist/recent changes isn't working with the enhanced (grouped by article) recent changes. The enhanced recent changes works fine until the initial AJAX update, then the blue triangles used to expand/collapse each group disappear and groups of edits to the same page/actions in the same log are all expanded with no way to collapse them. &mdash;MJ&mdash; Comlink Tuesday, June 26, 2012, 17:49 UTC
 * I'm seeing this too. FF 13.0.1 on Vista. Thought it was just my work network being wonky. UPDATE:Seeing the same thing on my other laptop, different network, Win7 and FF 13.0.1 Same thing with IE9. <- Omicron (Leave a message at the BEEP! ) 19:15, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Same browser version and OS here. Xd was seeing it when I was in IRC earlier; don't know what his browser and OS are. &mdash;MJ&mdash; Council Chambers Tuesday, June 26, 2012, 19:37 UTC
 * I'm having the same problem. I'm running the latest Firefox on Windows XP.  This problem has been showing up off and on during the upgrade, but it now seems to be constant.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 02:46, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Same. Google Chrome on Windows 7. Cade   Calrayn  StupidRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit.svg 03:22, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * The sooner we get the RCs fixed, the better. When one does a mass upload or several edits to a page (like a copy-edit for a large article), seeing the RCs flooded with those, and only those is getting really irritating.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 09:58, June 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * It appears that if you turn off the Auto-Refresh function, the grouped changes work perfectly fine. Cade   Calrayn  StupidRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit.svg 20:08, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Though, most of us want it to auto-refresh, and thus, there shouldn't be a problem with the things not grouping together. It's still an issue that needs to be fixed, particularly during mass-edits, mass-uploads, and mass-deletions that eat up all of the other changes and page space.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 04:08, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Strangely enough, when checking RC in Oasis, both AJAX and enhanced RC work as intended. Further, in Monobook, the tooltip text "Automatically refresh" is changed back to the default "AJAX" (might be due to my global import of the devwiki AjaxRC script). UA string: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:16.0) Gecko/16.0 Firefox/16.0 . TK  999  08:11, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Update: another check in Oasis showed that enhanced RC breaks if it is closed, i.e. when a blue triangle is clicked to hide its content. TK  999  08:15, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikia Update: As this is a dev.wikia.com script, I have asked Grunny to look into this once he gets back from vacation next week. --daNASCAT 14:14, July 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Fallout Wiki had a fix which I've just applied. It looks like it's working now, but I've never used advanced recent changes before so let me know if there's still a problem. Green Tentacle (Talk) 19:56, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's working in recent changes, but my watchlist (on which it should also work) returns one of these errors:

or

The whole browser freezes for 10 to 15 seconds before the error appears. Continuing just leaves the browser frozen for a few seconds before returning one of those errors again. The only solution to unfreeze the browser is to stop the script. Now, this may have something to do with the fact that my watchlist is set up to show me the last 1,000 edits over up to the past 90 days, so I expect long load times, but it has never, and I repeat NEVER, given me a "script busy" error before. I'm running Firefox 13.0.1 on Windows Vista. &mdash;MJ&mdash; War Room Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 20:22 UTC
 * I can't replicate this, largely because preferences won't let you set number of days above 7. Presumably this is something they want to discourage. AJAX works fine for me with it set to 7 days. Green Tentacle (Talk) 20:37, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * In preferences, set days to zero, and it will show you the full, in our case 90 or 91 days (up to the maximum number of edits). &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Jedi Council Chambers</b> Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 20:44 UTC
 * Still refreshes ok for me. How many items are on your watchlist? Green Tentacle (Talk) 20:52, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * 414 pages plus their respective talk pages (I really should go through and clean out my watchlist). Still, that's never been an issue in the past either. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Training Room</b> Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 21:42 UTC

[RESOLVED] Forum duplicate prefixes

 * When creating a new forum thread, the namespace and forum prefix (i.e. "Forum:SH:" or "Forum:CT:") is duplicated, resulting in page titles like Forum:SH:Forum:SH:MediaWiki 1.19 upgrade. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> War Room</b> Tuesday, June 26, 2012, 19:08 UTC
 * Is it possible XD's edit is causing this? <- Omicron (Leave a message at the BEEP! ) 19:17, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, because the second page of the SH, which didn't have that edit made to it, produces the same error. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Council Chambers</b> Tuesday, June 26, 2012, 19:37 UTC
 * This now appears to have been fixed. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Council Chambers</b> Wednesday, July 4, 2012, 00:52 UTC

[RESOLVED] Search suggestions
Okay, now it's suddenly working for me. Any bets on how long this lasts? Why do I get the feeling we're suffering from one of those issues related to Wikia's wonderfully cobbled-together CDN system? Can they maybe call MacGyver to build them a caching system out of duct tape and twine that would work a thousand times better? -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 00:26, July 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not getting any drop-down suggestions when I begin typing in the search box. Anybody else? Menkooroo (talk) 21:23, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also not getting them here. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Holocomm</b> Tuesday, June 26, 2012, 22:41 UTC
 * Same here. ' ℬiggestℒeo ' (ℳeeting ℛoom) 23:11, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * No drop-down suggestions for me, either. Cade has the same problem.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 03:13, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems to be fixed for me. How about every one else?-- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  22:14, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Still not working for me on Monobook, the only skin that matters. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 00:09, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Works for me on Monobook. Possibly another script interfering with it for you? &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Holocomm</b> Thursday, July 5, 2012, 00:30 UTC
 * Unlikely, since it doesn't work when I'm logged out and viewing with &useskin=monobook. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 00:44, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * And just in case the &useskin=monobook could possibly be an issue, I logged in as this bot account which has no custom JS or CSS, hit the "restore all default settings" on the prefs page, emptied my browser cache, flushed my DNS cache, restarted my browser, and then set the bot's prefs back to Monobook. Still no search suggestions on Firefox 13.0.1. So you people with search suggestions on Monobook are just incredibly lucky somehow. -- KillerRoboLeia3000 (talk) 00:53, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikia Update: The search suggestions were actually a different bug related to some memory-leaking code in S.S. that was causing some load issues a few weeks ago. We've gone ahead and turned suggestions back on globally as the load issues have indeed been fixed. --daNASCAT 14:07, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

[CONFIRMED] RSS feed

 * The RSS feed from Wookieepedia NewsNet that's displayed on the Main Page is cutting off all NewsNet post titles after an apostrophe. For example, "Tinwe: May's Wookieepedian of the Month" is just showing up as "Tinwe: May" . Menkooroo (talk) 21:26, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Same here on both your problems. Why can't Wikia just leave shit alone?  IFYLOFD  ( Floyd's crib ) 22:34, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Here too. ' ℬiggestℒeo ' (ℳeeting ℛoom) 23:11, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Same on Chrome. Cade   Calrayn  StupidRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit.svg 03:22, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikia Update: - Can confirm the issue, have filed a bug ticket about this this morning. --daNASCAT 14:12, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

Follow/unfollow buttons

 * Might be a problem with my scripts, but when I click the "Follow" and "Unfollow" buttons, they go to "Following&hellip;" and "Unfollowing&hellip;" but never refresh. After I refresh the page itself, the action has gone through, but only after the page is refreshed.  CC7567  (talk) 02:31, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm having the same issue. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Comlink</b> Wednesday, June 27, 2012, 02:36 UTC
 * Wikia Update: - I can't reproduce this issue at this time. I am following this forum post. I clicked 'following', saw it change to 'unfollowing', and then went to 'follow' after, at most, a second. If this is still happening to you, please reply. --daNASCAT 14:14, July 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's happening to me at this instant. Corellian PremierRobotech.jpg along the watchtower 21:41, July 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Still doing it to me also. All of my custom JS is here. I have no global.js file and no JS gadgets enabled (I do have one CSS-only gadget), and am running Firefox 13.0.1 on Windows Vista. I get the following error in my error console when I follow or unfollow a page:
 * Timestamp: 7/6/2012 9:24:24 PM
 * Error: WikiaFooterApp is not defined
 * Source File: http://slot2.images.wikia.nocookie.net/__am/55892/group/-/monobook_js

 * Also, I just tested this on the Wikia skin and it works there, so it's a Monobook-only issue. daNASCAT, it's best to assume any bug listed here was discovered in Monobook unless stated otherwise, as Monobook is the official skin of Wookieepedia and thus most established users use it. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Training Room</b> Saturday, July 7, 2012, 01:59 UTC

[RESOLVED] Viewing via redirect

 * Also, when viewing a page via a redirect, all action buttons across the top act on the redirect, not the page being viewed. For example, if you go to WP:TC and click "edit" or "follow", you end up editing or following the WP:TC shortcut instead of the actual Trash compactor page that you were viewing. The only way to take action on the page being viewed via the top row of buttons is to copy and paste the page title into the search bar. This is in Monobook; I do not know if the Wikia skin is affected by this and frankly don't care if it is. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Comlink</b> Wednesday, June 27, 2012, 02:36 UTC
 * Yeah, I've noticed that too. It made my remedying of the Jedi Academy battle redirects rather annoying. Cade   Calrayn  StupidRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit.svg 03:22, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * This also causes problems when clicking the [edit] buttons on those pages since they point to sections of a redirect page that obviously don't exist. —Xwing328 (Talk) 04:00, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not seeing this. For me, when viewing a page via redirect, only the top row of buttons is screwed up. The section edit buttons work properly for me (i.e. they go to the page I'm actually viewing and not the redirect. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Jedi Council Chambers</b> Wednesday, June 27, 2012, 18:29 UTC
 * This has been fixed. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Comlink</b> Wednesday, July 4, 2012, 04:00 UTC

[FEATURE] Minor edit button

 * This hasn't happened all the time, but on occasion, the minor edit button is missing. I know this has also happened to at least one other user.&mdash; Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 02:37, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a feature, not a bug. The minor edit option is no longer available when creating a new page or adding a new section to a talk page (i.e. with  in the URL). The theory behind this is that creating a new page or adding a new section to a talk page are types of edits that are always important and thus should never be marked as minor. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Jedi Council Chambers</b> Wednesday, June 27, 2012, 18:29 UTC
 * Still blasted annoying. I hope Wikia reverts that. The user should be able to decide what they think is and isn't a minor edit, not Wikia.&mdash; Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 00:37, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * File your complaint with the Wikimedia Foundation. This change was made by them, and Wikia may not be able to reverse it easily or at all. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">War Room</b> Friday, June 29, 2012, 01:59 UTC

[CONFIRMED] Transcluded recent changes

 * Also, my user page is broken. Rather than showing my user page, it is a blank page with "MediaWiki internal error" and a couple other things. Again, this has been seen by several other user, so I know this isn't just something with my computer.&mdash; Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 03:02, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * You have a userpage again. This fixed it. Looks like that particular gizmo is not 1.19-friendly. Pywikipedia always hated userpages that had that on it even before the upgrade, so I zeroed-in on it as soon as I realized I could still get to your userpage by tacking ?action=edit onto it manually. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 04:14, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Much obliged. Any chance of Wikia fixing this so I can have the RC thing again, do you think?&mdash; Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 04:35, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikia Update: Can confirm this bug and we will indeed fix it since this is built-in MediaWiki behaviour that seems to still be working, in so far as I can tell, on non-Wikia 1.19+ wikis. --daNASCAT 14:32, July 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * I can confirm that it does indeed work on Wikipedia, as seen in my sandbox there. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Holocomm</b> Saturday, July 7, 2012, 01:30 UTC

[HTML5] Centered templates

 * Templates that usually appear in the center of the screen, such as and Second Imperial Civil War are showing up on the left-hand side of the page rather than in the center. Menkooroo (talk) 05:32, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm also seeing this. I suspect it's a CSS issue, but I don't know what the problem is. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Jedi Council Chambers</b> Wednesday, June 27, 2012, 18:29 UTC
 * "Most presentational html attributes like valign are now converted to inline css style rules. These attributes were removed from html5 and so we clean them up when $wgHtml5 is enabled. This can be disabled using $wgCleanupPresentationalAttributes." The align attribute is deprecated and it looks like the new version converts it to some CSS which doesn't actually work. This fix works on Firefox, IE9, Chrome and Opera but we'd have to apply it to all affected templates. Green Tentacle (Talk) 18:59, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * The advertisements for other wikias found at the bottom of every page are off to the left, too. Menkooroo (talk) 03:49, June 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * As evidenced here, even our warning templates are shoved to the left. Hell, the overall look of the template seems... off.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 07:53, June 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks like the text is being centered inside the box instead of the box within the page. I don't think the text was centered before. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Council Chambers</b> Friday, June 29, 2012, 15:47 UTC
 * It will be. The HTML we put in the template gets rewritten by the server when it generates the page. align="center" used to get left alone. But that particular piece of HTML shouldn't be used anymore so the server now converts it to style="text-align: center;". In most cases that will do the same as before, but instead of centering a template, it will center the text inside it. Instead you can center the whole template by setting the left and right margins to auto as in style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;". I've fixed the two mentioned already; if there are others and people aren't comfortable messing with the markup, just list them here. Green Tentacle (Talk) 20:43, June 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikia Update: As Green Tentacle alluded to, HTML3 syntax should no longer be used as it is now fully out of MediaWiki 1.19, which uses HTML5 (previously, MW was using HTML4, which still supported HTML3 despite officially stating that syntax as deprecated). You can learn more about this topic by reading this news blog. --daNASCAT 14:37, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

[INTERMITTENT] Breakage

 * Monobook just outright crapped out on me. No templates are working.  Nothing is working.  Even editing is all screwy.  I'm hoping this clears up really soon.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 06:22, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * It just fixed itself. Basically what had happened was the navigation was all but gone, your username and contribs were in a list on the bottom of the page, and the white background panel with the nice tabs was gone.  I've seen this bug before and it usually corrects itself after a refresh, but this lasted through two refreshes and two pages to type up the bug report.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 06:25, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Monobook broke again.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 04:39, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's done the same thing to me, too, on occasion.&mdash; Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 04:44, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

[WORKSFORME] Diff viewing

 * When viewing edit differences in Monobook, the differences in the revisions are not highlighted. - Cavalier One FarStar.svg( Squadron channel ) 13:30, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Works for me. I have the first gadget here enabled; disabling didn't remove the default red text highlighting. Note that lines that were entirely removed or that are entirely new are never highlighted with red text. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Jedi Council Chambers</b> Wednesday, June 27, 2012, 18:29 UTC

 * I think this has been resolved, but as I don't know precisely what the buggy behavior was in the first place, can someone who saw it before confirm this? <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Comlink</b> Wednesday, July 4, 2012, 04:00 UTC

[INTERMITTENT] Monobook CSS issues

 * I've noticed that Wookieepedia will randomly switch between skins. On occasion, it will log me out for no reason, and naturally switch to the Wikia skin. However, that's happened before the update, so it's probably just typical Wikia crap. However, since the update, Wookieepedia will randomly switch between Monobook and a different new skin without logging me out. The new skin is, I'm fairly certain, the skin used by Wikipedia. A picture of it can be seen here.&mdash; Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 02:27, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * That was happening to me all throughout the upgrade. I'd refresh and it resolves itself.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 02:30, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Me, too, but I still hate it when it randomly does that to me. :P &mdash; Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 02:33, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * I hate it, too. Same as I hate the super Monobook crap-out bug that I mentioned above.  Hell, all these bugs need fixed and Wikia better hop to it, chop-chop!  Trak Nar  Ramble on 02:42, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * The skin in your screenshot is the basic Monobook, minus all of our tweaks and modifications. This is most likely a problem with some CSS not loading. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">War Room</b> Friday, June 29, 2012, 01:59 UTC
 * The CSS acted up for me again. Took two refreshes of the Trap at Fulwhaka to correct it, only for it to crap out again while I was editing that page.  Might have something to do with that page, though the issue resolved itself after I saved my edits.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:33, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

[INTERMITTENT] Recent changes broke

 * The RCs broke. Several (ten or more) refreshes have not corrected the problem.  They're back now, but they were broken for a couple minutes.  Any bug, even if it's the usual stupid Wikia bug, is a bug that I'm gonna report.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:37, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikia Update: Any incidents of this happening since then? If so, please explain what "broke" means. White page? Bad formatting? --daNASCAT 14:37, July 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * It hasn't happened since. Basically, the RCs were just blank.  The content itself refused to load.  This has happened off and on a few times before the upgrade.  I think it's just an intermittent bug.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:09, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

Recent changes buttons missing
Still seeing the "&amp;lt;r&amp;gt;" thing here. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 16:21, July 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * On Monobook in the Recent Changes, it won't show the option to switch between hide or show Grouped Recent Changes, or the Show Logs button. -- SFH (talk) 14:12, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * If you look closely, I think you'll see something like "&amp;lt;r&amp;gt;" next to the hide and show buttons. I'm fairly certain that those are the two missing options - lt is probably logs, and the r&gt is probably the grouped changes. Something's broken those buttons. Cade   Calrayn  StupidRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit.svg 14:16, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

Preloads on Wikia skin

 * When creating pages using the add a page tab on Wikilook, there's no Standard preloads for infoboxes. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 22:33, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikia Update: Can you walk me through this more? What exactly are you trying to do and what exactly are you trying to preload? --daNASCAT 14:56, July 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * The standard preload loads infoboxs. On the new Wiki look, when in edit mode, under the Save page button appears the Standard Preload drop down box. This error is only occuring when you use the Add a page button visible in the same box the total number of content pages on the wiki is displayed. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 16:56, July 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Was there ever this functionality in previous versions? The CreatePage module was never built to have a preloaded template. --daNASCAT 20:41, July 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * This is not a preloaded template in the edit box when it comes up, but rather our own JS which you can see at MediaWiki:Common.js (do a Ctrl-F search for "jQuery version of fillPreloads". It adds a dropdown box with a list of templates (mostly infoboxes), a user can then click on one of the templates, and the JS will automatically add the template to the edit box at the cursor. You can switch to Monobook to see what I'm talking about, as it's working there. That dropdown box is not loading on the default skin. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Council Chambers</b> Saturday, July 7, 2012, 01:41 UTC

[RESOLVED] Era tags on Wedge Antilles
The era tags are no longer showing up on Wedge Antilles. I don't know whether this is related to the upgrade, the huge size of the article, or something else. We don't appear to have exceeded any technical limits regarding templates in the article (Ctrl+F "NewPP limit report" in the HTML source of the page). <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Holocomm</b> Saturday, June 30, 2012, 04:01 UTC
 * This was because of a JavaScript error caused by the function that replaces USERNAME with your name in the TOC. It was breaking on any page which had TOC entries in italics and causing the remaining JavaScript, including the bit for the eras icons, not to run. I've rewritten that function in jQuery and the eras icons should load correctly now. One limitation is that this will replace USERNAME if it appears in a non-italic TOC entry or in the italic part of a TOC entry that mixes the two, but not if it's in the non-italic part. For example "Hello, USERNAME" would work but "Hello USERNAME" would not. I really doubt that will ever be an issue though. Green Tentacle (Talk) 12:17, June 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks. I don't recall seeing italic TOC entries before. Is that something new in the 1.19 upgrade, or is that a JS change made on our side? <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Holocomm</b> Saturday, June 30, 2012, 15:33 UTC

[CONFIRMED] Edit count
I clicked on a link to someone's edit count so I could get to that page and I could peek at mine, but from the linked edit count, I could not search my name. It just goes to the originally linked person's count. This probably has to do with the "/NaruHina" extension, but that never hindered searching names after following a link before.

Ad alignment
Are the ads at the botton of the screen intended to be scrunched on the left now, instead of spread out over the length? I doubt it's a bug, but it's damn irksome. NaruHina Talk  12:29, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, it probably has to do with the same thing as having the navigation templates be on the left, since the ads are centered with respect to those. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 13:47, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikia Update: Is this still happening for you? I can't see any ad differences right now between 1.16.5 and 1.19. If so, could you take a screenshot please? --daNASCAT 15:01, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

 * It appears to be a feature and possibly configurable to boot, as Wikipedia's page histories list both figures (size and delta). <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Holocomm</b> Tuesday, June 26, 2012, 17:59 UTC

This isn't a bug per se, but I've noticed that when you look at a page's history, you no longer get the full size of the article in KB after each revision. Instead, you get the difference in size from the previous revision. Does anyone know how to find out the article's full size? ~ Savage  11:05, July 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hopefully Wikia will get this back soon, but until then you can run a little bit of JS to find out:
 * Edit the page then go to a console in your browser:
 * Firefox: Tools > Web Developer > Web Console
 * Internet Explorer: Tools > Developer Tools
 * Chrome: Tools > JavaScript Console
 * Opera: Page > Developer Tools > Opera Dragonfly > Console
 * Type in " " and hit enter to get the number of bytes. Green Tentacle (Talk) 17:54, July 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Damn, that's a hassle. I really hope they go back to the way it was before. Any clue what to do in Safari? ~ Savage BOB sig.png 11:06, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Huh, doing that on Firefox returns " ". What am I doing wrong? - Cavalier One FarStar.svg( Squadron channel ) 11:37, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Did you click edit first? It needs the edit box to work. Green Tentacle (Talk) 17:16, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

 * Wikia Update: Yeah, I'm not sure if that's something configurable or a straight bug on our part, but I totally agree that's a useful bit of information that really ought not to disappear from a history page. I have filed a bug ticket to discover the source and see if we need to completely fix it or configure it globally. --daNASCAT 15:05, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

Unused Files weirdness
The [ unused files] page lists a file called File:Tsurr.jpg, which I deleted in 2008. For a thumbnail it shows the name of the file, and for the size it shows "File missing". On an API query, the file still has a database entry, but it never showed up on the unused files page before 1.19. I'm holding off on the unused file purges until this is cleared up. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 14:07, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * When I bring up the file page, the file and its software-generated data all show up perfectly for me. The only hitch is that the wiki page for it doesn't exist; it shows a "create" tab instead of an "edit" tab at the top of the page. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Jedi Council Chambers</b> Tuesday, July 3, 2012, 15:39 UTC
 * It wasn't like that two hours ago. I suspect they may finally be doing something about it. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 15:44, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikia Update: This was filed a few weeks ago. Grunny will look into this next week, but with only one example, it seems to me like there may be a specific database issue with this one file, not necessarily an upgrade bug as a whole. --daNASCAT 15:08, July 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I'm sure there is a database bug with that file, since I discovered its ghost entry along with the ghosts of the late and decidedly unlamented video feature back on June 11 when I was playing with API queries. But the unused files page didn't start showing it or other "file missing" entries until 1.19 rolled around. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 00:50, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

Javascript import problem killing gadgets
For some reason every gadget import returns an error. I usually load mine from a global.js to make them universally accessible, but after seeing all the error reports here I turned that off and turned all our gadgets on, and every single one got a load error:        all return "Invalid file extension found in the path info or query string."

 * I believe it is the root problem of which that is a symptom. Those links in my earlier post are from the HTTP request log, showing the javascript files the browser tries to fetch when all the gadgets are turned on, and access is denied to all of them. The Edit Intro gadget's failing local javascript file is just a call to dev.wikia.com which, when appended manually to my global.js or Corellian Premier's monobook.js, works just fine. The script on dev.wikia is not returning an access denied error. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 02:05, July 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * If I change, for example, http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-inactiveusers.js?action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&4085028 to the old link format of http://starwars.wikia.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Gadget-inactiveusers.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&4085028, then it comes up just fine. I don't know what that info means, but I'm posting it because it might help someone solve the problem. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Jedi Council Chambers</b> Sunday, July 8, 2012, 02:15 UTC
