Trying to edit the server list portion of the Ladle page on the wiki. More specifically, updating "static5.kevinh.us" to "armagetron.kevinh.us" produces errors similar to: |

I will look into this more, but I attempted to make your change, and everything worked fine for me. http://wiki.armagetronad.org/index.php?title=Lad... |

Nelg, I have been unsuccessful at finding your bug. Has this happened again since, or do you have a way to recreate it? I also monitored the error log for approx. 8 hours today and saw no errors at all. |

I was able to find some of these problems by trying to do things as non-admin or not logged in. I have upgraded the wiki, so now hopefully our problems are solved.
I changed the theme as well because I don't know how well it could come over, so this is the theme I'm going to start working from. It is mobile friendly, so it's a start in the right direction. ![]() |

I apologize for not getting back to you before you upgraded the wiki. I don't really check these forums on any kind of regular basis. (perfect opportunity to ask for an 'Unread Posts' feature, right? ![]() |

That's not a problem because I was able to confirm there were definitely problems that came over. Upgrading got rid of all of the errors I was able to find, so I hoped it would fix yours as well.
Before I got the wiki, I was able to make some changes and not others, so maybe creating a page was one that actually worked, while the edit you attempted to make caused a problem. Who knows .. at this point, I'm just guessing because I wasn't able to reproduce your actual error.
On the bright side, we are now mobile friendly, and we have the latest updates for MediaWiki, including a bit of security bug fixes. Regardless of the actual reasoning for the start of this, we have fixed bugs, become more secure, and are now mobile friendly. It's a step in the right direction. ![]() |
