Forum:MediaWiki Upgrade Bug List

I see that MediaWiki has been upgraded. As one will most likely encounter bugs, I have started a bug list to keep track of them. Please report any bugs or errors or difficulties concerning the upgrade here.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:17, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

Bug Reports
Please list any bugs you encounter here.

[DEV] AJAX Recent Changes

 * Recent Changes will not group and hide multiple edits. It works fine until the AJAX update, and then the blue triangles that signify a group of changes and is used to expand/collapse them disappears.  All the grouped changes are then listed in the log and there is no way to hide them.  Now, we had this same problem on Wookieepedia.  This is a dev.wikia.com script and both Wookieepedia and Fallout Wiki have fixes, which can be applied to this wiki.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:17, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * AJAX isn't even loading now. RCs won't auto-refresh.  I think it may pertain to the humongous grouped edit that is currently in the log.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 09:51, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, the error resolved itself. Still mentioning it, however, as it may be the java screwing up because the grouped edits on the Adminship page are massive.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 10:03, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikia Update: I have asked the maintainers of the script at Dev Wiki to look into this issue, but unfortunately their lead developer is on vacation so it may be a few more days. I believe the issue stems from some changed MediaWiki classes and methods from 1.16->1.19. --daNASCAT 23:27, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

[DEV] AJAX WikiActivity
Sometimes refuses to appear, and glitches when trying to load more edits at the bottom. -- 10:43, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

[CONFIRMED] Follow/Unfollow buttons

 * This is a Monobook-only glitch. When I click the "Follow" tab, it goes to "Following..." but never refreshes.  After I refresh the page, does the change go through.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:17, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikia Update: Thanks for the extra updates, we have gone ahead and confirmed the bug is now happening on Monobook in all skins and a bug ticket has been opened. --daNASCAT 23:25, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

[INTERMITTENT] Categorizing in WikiActivity
For any forum, userpage, project, or any other page with a category, WikiActivity is saying that a user is adding that category for every edit, when they are not. -- 10:40, July 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have also had this probleme. I have also had the same probleme at the ACSFW. [[File:Will Life Icon.png]] Will   Rose  [[File:Will Life Icon.png]] 08:23, July 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Wikia Update: I can't reproduce this issue, could you be kind enough to give me a screenshot of the issue so I can more easily verify exactly what and where the bug is? --daNASCAT 23:37, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * This bug is gone. -- 23:52, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

[CONFIRMED] Blog comment editor not loading

 * This may be a Monobook-only issue, but when I go to comment on a blog, it says "Loading Editor" and just gets stuck on that screen. I can still type the comment while the "Loading Editor" text displays, but I can't post it.  I've refreshed the page after typing, refreshed the page before typing, even just left the page sit and finish loading.  It.  Won't.  Load.  Thus, since I am a Monobook user and refuse to switch to Oasis for a blog, I cannot comment.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 07:54, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * I am also experiencing this same problem. Not only can I not make any comments on blogs (I primarily use Monobook. I have yet to see for myself if the problem exists in Oasis as well), I can't disable blog comments either. Instead I get a screen that shows that there's a problem going on with Wikia's server and that I should "try again later". I'm not sure if the two problems are related, but since this other problem involves blogs I feel that it at least deserves a mention. Lloyd the Cat  "I don't die. I just go on adventures."  08:07, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikia Update: Confirmed that the Mini-Editor for Blog Comments is not working in the Monobook skin. A bug ticket has been filed. --daNASCAT 23:49, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

Userpage glitch
Weird userpage glitch where the cut-off for wide userpages extends beyond where it should. -- 12:30, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but your screenshot confuses me. I think you zoomed out so far it's hard for me to tell where exactly the bug is because it gets all scrunched together when you're that zoomed out. Can you explain what you mean by "cut-off" and give me a link to a page this is happening to you on? --daNASCAT 23:44, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * On User:Genesjs, it cuts off the userpage for being too wide (as it is supposed to), however, the cut off zig zag line goes beyond where it is supposed to. -- 23:47, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * That actually looks fine to me because the entire page is in one table. It's supposed to be on a table-by-table basis. --daNASCAT 23:51, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * I took a look, and your userpage works fine on my end, Gen. Could this possibly be an Oasis-only issue? I'm using Monobook, and I don't notice a difference in width.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 06:45, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's a Oasis-Only issue. Look at the very bottom of the screenshot, there is a white zig zag line extending beyond where it is supposed to. -- 08:47, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I just happende to stumble upon this moments ago. The Zig-Zag goes through the background as showed in the image.   Willaca    (talk)    08:49, July 20, 2012 (UTC)



Another example of the glitch has been posted. -- 08:53, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Oasis Toolbar and Edit Button glitch
The Oasis Toolbar on the bottom of the screen sometimes glitches and doesn't follow as the user scrolls, and when you try and hover over "My Tools" it often glitches and refuses to load. Same goes for the "Edit" button arrow that gives you the option to see the history and such. -- 12:32, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikia Update: If you have any way to screenshot or screencast this happening to you that would be useful as this is honestly the first I've heard of it from any 1.19 wiki. --daNASCAT 23:49, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * There ya go. It's tough to see since it doesn't screenshot the mouse, but I am hovering over "My Tools" and it is not loading. -- 08:46, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

[NON-ISSUE] Blog Facial Glitch
Let's say your making a comment on a blog with a facial expression (Like :) or :@). And when you do it it shows the letter (if the facial has a letter) and moves it to the center. It also removes the ":" if they are a part of the Facial. Here's a screenshot on my recent blog.  Will   Rose   07:39, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's because the colon is used to indent. If it's not preceded by a word or something, it will just indent the P.  Like so:
 * P


 * Try using the "nowiki" tags and see if that solves the problem.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 07:46, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

New Messages Glitch
I'm not sure if this is present in Oasis as well, but when I recieve new messages on the Wiki I'm currently visiting (in this case, this Wiki) instead of getting "You have new messages (recent changes)" I get "You have new messages on Sonic News Network", and when I click the only present link it just takes me right to my talk page instead of giving me the option to look at the new changes like I would if I clicked "(recent changes)". I thought this would go away within a couple of days since it first recently appeared, but since it hasn't I was hoping that someone would be willing to look into this. Lloyd the Cat "I don't die. I just go on adventures."  09:11, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've witnessed the same thing on Wookieepedia. Once it's determined what this exactly is (feature or bug), I'll bring up the subject on Wookieepedia as well.  I miss the "Latest Changes" link and would rather it return.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 09:32, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, so it was "Latest Changes". I knew I might've been remembering it wrong. Lloyd the Cat  "I don't die. I just go on adventures."  09:34, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Edit conflict bug
I just stumbled upon this here, too. I was replying to a thread and got an edit conflict. In the bottom where my text was supposed to be was the text from the edit that conflicted me. My text was nowhere to be found. Not even a difference was shown. So, I had to hit "Back" and copy my edit.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:59, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I have had this issue as well. -- 08:53, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I haven't had a edit conflict in a while. But when I do and this glitch happendes. I'll tell you guys.   Willaca    (talk)    09:06, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * DiscoDuck experienced this on the RfA, as shown on FreeSmudger's nomination. -- 09:09, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Wiki Advertisements Glitch?
One thing I've noticed (not sure if it's also present in Oasis) is that the 3 random pictures that advertise random Wikis that appear on the very bottom of the page have seem to have shifted to the left corner. Something tells me this is indeed a glitch, but I can't say for sure. If anyone needs me to upload a screenshot then feel free to ask. Lloyd the Cat "I don't die. I just go on adventures."  07:35, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't see it on my end (in fact, the Wikia Spotlights simply do not load at all), but other people have noticed the same problem on Wookieepedia. Checking a random page there, I don't see any of those Wikia Spotlight ads. If not seeing them at all is a bug, I'm mentioning it. Not sure why I've never noticed this before. o.O  Trak Nar  Ramble on 07:40, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I haven't seen it. [[File:Will Life Icon.png]] Will   Rose  [[File:Will Life Icon.png]] 07:54, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I see it as well, and am willing to take a screenshot. -- 08:37, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * There ya go. -- 08:44, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Deleted Files in Unused Files
As seen in Special:UnusedFiles, three deleted files including File:Knuckles.gif appear. They were deleted, and shouldn't appear. -- 08:57, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * We have this exact same problem on Wookieepedia.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 09:12, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's unfortunate. Apparently, the above Ad alignment problem and the below editcount problem are present there as well. -- 09:14, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Editcount glitch
I was switching between two users' editcount (Fly the Fox, and FreeSmudger, for the record) and noticed when I went to type in the latter's name into the search bar, it stayed on Fly the Fox's editcount. I attempted this with two other users (Supermorff and Myself 123, for the record), and it still refused to work. Possible glitch? -- 09:00, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Checking on my end, it is indeed buggy. I can't check mine through that page unless I input my name to start with.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 09:15, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Discussion
Aren't MediaWiki upgrades just wonderful? :P  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:17, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

Uhh, I had something that I think might be something sue to the MediaWiki upgrade. A dew weeks ago my edits was I think "1003". And then the next day it was "999" I think. Either this or my edits where reverted (which is most un-likely cause those extra edits to 1000 where blog comments".  Will   Rose   09:54, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Reverted edits still count toward your edit count as they're logged. However, if comments were deleted, then that would be a reason for the missing edits. Do you know what blog it was? Checking the deletion log should reveal where they went. However, if they were not as a result of deletion, then that would definitely be a bug.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 10:02, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * AJAX is glitching on Wiki Activity a bit as well. -- 10:03, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * @Trak No the Blog wasn't deleted. It was one of Murphy's comics. [[File:Will Life Icon.png]] Will   Rose  [[File:Will Life Icon.png]] 10:10, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * If anything you edited was deleted, your edits get removed. -- 10:11, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Mabey it was and mabey it wasn't. :P I can't remember. It's been a while since I "re-visited" the blog. [[File:Will Life Icon.png]] Will   Rose  [[File:Will Life Icon.png]] 10:13, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * I have contacted Wikia and gave them the link to this topic. Hopefully these issues will be resolved soon.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 08:00, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * And we replied! I am now following this page, thanks for having this all in one succinct place! --daNASCAT 23:49, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you! You've given Wookieepedia hope and you're giving SNN hope. :)  Trak Nar  Ramble on 03:01, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
