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.

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)

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; War Room 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

Search suggestions

 * 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)

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)

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

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. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> 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. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Jedi Council Chambers</b> Wednesday, June 27, 2012, 18:29 UTC

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. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> 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. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> War Room</b> Friday, June 29, 2012, 01:59 UTC

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)

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. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> 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)

[RESOLVED] 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)

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

Special:WantedPages broken

 * Special:WantedPages doesn't have any articles on it, which cannot be correct.-- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  17:51, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm also seeing this. <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
 * It's doing that for me too. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 20:07, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * For me as well. "There are no incidents for this report" or something.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 02:30, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Same here. ' ℬiggestℒeo ' (ℳeeting ℛoom) 22:48, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

Shortcut boxes

 * When editing a page, the wiki shortcut tabs at the top have two of each. Anybody else? 501st  dogma ( talk ) 20:09, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not for me. Are you using Monobook?&mdash; Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 00:37, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * It looks like its only happening to Wikilook then, as it's fine when I use Monobook. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 12:41, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

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)

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)

Recent changes buttons missing

 * 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 " &lt;r&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)

[DUPLICATE] Editing redirects

 * I clicked on a redirect and when I clicked to edit the page it lead to, it opened up the edit field to the redirect page. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 20:15, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm getting that too. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 22:04, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Already reported above; see . <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Comlink</b> Friday, June 29, 2012, 02:00 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)

Edit intro gadget

 * I just noticed that there is no longer an "edit intro" button, which I had turned on via a gadget.&mdash; Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 00:59, June 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Mine is working, though I don't use the gadget. Try disabling the gadget and copying the code for it out of this page (second tool from the top) into User:Cal Jedi/monobook.js and see if that works. <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
 * Yup, it's working now. Thanks. Still annoying that they had to disable those gadgets, but then again, all of this is blasted annoying.&mdash; Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 04:48, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

Link suggestions

 * Wikia's link suggestion feature no longer works for me, which is a pity, because that was one of their features that I actually loved. <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
 * They don't work for me, either. Well, they sort of work, as they show up in a list beneath the edit window, but I don't like that and they only show up half the time.  I want it back the way it was.  I demand a massive rollback to when things weren't quite as messed up!  Trak Nar  Ramble on 02:25, June 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes, now I see them below the editing box. Still, I would vastly prefer them the way they would before. <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, 02:31 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
 * Looks like something in 1.19. Green Tentacle (Talk) 16:08, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

General discussion
From what I can tell, there's still plenty of bugs. My .js and .css seem to only work some of the time, and some of the page alignments are still messed up. I guess I'm more placing this complaint here in hopes that Wikia sees it and knows that they still have things to fix.&mdash; Cal Jedi (Personal Comm Channel) 17:53, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not sure if this is a bug or a new "feature", but page histories no longer give an indication of the article's size, only how many bytes were added/ subtracted per edit. - Cavalier One FarStar.svg( Squadron channel ) 17:57, June 26, 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

I've sent the link to this page to Wikia Staff through Special:Contact. Hopefully we'll get these issues resolved fairly quickly. <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> Tuesday, June 26, 2012, 22:50 UTC

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)

Since we have so many bugs, I've put a separate section header on each bug above so that we can get a quick look via the TOC at everything that's broken and help prevent duplicate reports. This also allows us to easily mark bugs as resolved or duplicate in the section header and refer to other bugs via section links. <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
