HRWiki talk:Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.15

From Homestar Runner Wiki

We are pleased to announce that we have upgraded to MediaWiki 1.15. We have also finally adopted the clean /wiki/-style for our URLs. (Legacy URLs should still work just fine.) Quite a few little things have been updated and tweaked, so please let us know if you encounter any glitches. — It's dot com 14:45, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Contents 1 Subtitles not working 2 File/image syntax 3 Special:Subtitleslist error 4 User:First Time Here? 5 User list sorting 6 Yay! Search is decent! 7 Weird image uploading problems

[edit] Subtitles not working

If the subtitles stopped working for you when using the Greasemonkey script, see User talk:Phlip/Greasemonkey#subtitles stopped working. — It's dot com 16:35, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File/image syntax

I noticed with the upgrade, Image: has been replaced with the more generic File:. Going forward should we use File: when linking to images, or does it matter either way? wbwolf (t | ed) 19:52, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

From a technical standpoint, they're identical, especially because we so rarely upload anything but images, and so it doesn't really matter. The larger question, however, is outside the scope of this talk page. We should discuss it elsewhere once we've had a chance to get used to the new version. — It's dot com 20:18, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Special:Subtitleslist error

When Special:Subtitleslist is accessed, it says that there is an error. Would this be from the upgrade to MediaWiki 1.15? — That'sBupkis (Talk | contribs) 00:01, 14 June 2009 (UTC) (left unsigned)

Fixed. Thanks! — It's dot com 00:38, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User:First Time Here?

Has User:First Time Here? lost bot status or something? I found this in Recent Changes:

(diff) (hist) . . N! User talk:Kitties002‎; 12:50 . . (+1,853) . . First Time Here? (Talk | contribs | block) (→Some links to help get you started)

—but the "show bots" option was still hiding them. Never seen that before. --DorianGray 22:03, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

That's already fixed. Thanks. — It's dot com 22:03, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User list sorting

When I try to sort users by creation date, I get the error:

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden)

from within function "IndexPager::reallyDoQuery (UsersPager)". MySQL returned error "1176: Key 'PRIMARY' doesn't exist in table 'user' (208.53.37.233)".

It only happens when I search the whole user base, even If I specify a name. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 05:24, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Fixed. Thanks! — It's dot com 15:45, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Yay! Search is decent!

Just wanted to thank the admins for this. Now we have a search tool that can actually search for multi-word strings! Too lazy to look up which of the three versions added this, but apparently it was long overdue. Octan 05:39, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Be sure to pass your thanks on to the devs at MediaWiki! Keep on tranglin'! — It's dot com 15:25, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Why does OptimisticFool have a bunch of edits to the same image like that in Recent changes, but not on the image history? — MichaelXX2 22:45, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

What "image history" are you talking about? OptimisticFool 22:51, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

The image history of File:Winter Store Night.PNG. — MichaelXX2 00:08, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Wait...the four uploads? Those are four SEPARATE images, one of them spring, one fall, one winter and summer. So they'd all be on their separate image histories. I think that's what you meant, sorry if it isn't. free 00:44, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

On further investigation, I noticed that those four uploads repeated themselves 3 different times. THAT'S what you mean. Right? RIGHT? free 01:47, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

On further further investigation, you should notice that there were three sets of 4 each, Night, Sunny, and Daytime. — Defender1031*Talk 01:49, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

So there 12 of them? Well, that still doesn't answer the original question, I don't think. free 01:53, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Sure it does. There are 12 separate images, and 12 entries appeared in recent changes, one for each page. No problem. — Defender1031*Talk 01:55, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

OH. OH oh oh oh. Sorry, I'm slow tonight. It's night here. free 01:58, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. I didn't catch that at first. — MichaelXX2 03:45, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
