Please list any problems you encounter below. Note: there is a known bug, but we don't know exactly where it's going to turn up. It's a secret to everybody! If you find it (you'll get an internal error), please list exactly what you were doing and how to re-create the bug. Thanks. — It's dot com 07:42, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

is this going to be identified as a 500 error? like, it won't be a 403 or 404 error? The Knights Who Say Ni 16:01, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

It likely won't be a server error like that. Instead it will be a "MediaWiki internal error" (you'll probably see those exact words). What the rest of the page look like depends on where the error is. For instance, I've seen the error keep a page from rendering at all, but I've also seen it allow most of the page to be displayed (logo and tabs and navigation and such) with the error being contained in the article area. You might also see a PHP error along the top of the screen. If I had to place my bets where this is likely to show up, I'd guess when someone tries to upload an image or create an account. — It's dot com 16:23, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Problems encountered

Blank autocolumn sections

I am not sure if this is what is what you where talking about but the full list of Strong Bad Emails on said page is now blank for me. --Happypasta 03:25, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Forum Log-In

Each time I visit the forum, I am forced to log in, even if I check the "log in automatically" box (which I always do and have done). Never seen it behave like that before, so I'm guessing it's move-related despite not being part of the wiki. --DorianGray 04:54, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
