I'm one of the server administrators for this wiki. If you are having any technical problems please drop me a note on this page. BrandonCsSanders (talk) 20:49, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Survey of Vandalism Cleanup Options[edit]

I've had some problems with spam on my own wikis and have used a variety of approaches for cleanup including rolling my own extensions that delete all traces of spam users including their accounts and their edits. I'm trying to decide whether to invest more in those efforts right now, or to build on one of the other projects that already exists. I've been out of touch with the work for about two years, so I need to survey the current state of things before I make my choice. I'd love to help out my friends on wikiindex at the same time if possible, so I'm going to create my survey here. I'm slowly working my way through the discussions around spam and upgrades on this wiki ... AND ... I welcome any ideas about what folks want ... just add them here :-) Warm Regards, BrandonCsSanders

Working out from mw:Manual:Combating vandalism and mw:Manual:Combating spam (not real wild about the combat metaphor).

YiFei has created some really nice filters, so very little spam is getting through anymore, most problem we has was with Account Creation spam. Highly interested in solutions for folks that don't have access to the filters. Best, MarkDilley 25 February 2014

WikiIndex:ServerMove Extensions[edit]

Updates on the Server move?[edit]

You wrote " I expect the move to happen this month (February 2015)".

Now we got March and no news from You. Manorainjan (talk) 17:10, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Is the move complete now? If so, please add a news here: WikiIndex:Community portal/News

Old message[edit]

Size template[edit]

Horizon Wiki size template does not work any more. Manorainjan (talk) 01:22, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Putting 'YourWikiStatus' into the status property of that template is user error. It should either be fixed to be one of the allowed values for Property:Wiki status, or Property:Wiki status should be amended to allow YourWikiStatus as one of the values. BrandonCsSanders (talk) 03:57, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

In The old configuration it was not causing any technical problems when one let a default value unedited. 'YourWikiStatus' should be a legit content for that place. It should not even mess up that very line what to talk of messing up the size-template completely. Why did the new configuration stop to be fault tolerant? Manorainjan (talk) 07:57, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

I think the template needs to be rewritten to show a default value of 'YourWikiStatus' or whatever if there isn't a status set, and then the status will either be empty or one of the valid choices. I'll look into this later. BrandonCsSanders (talk) 00:18, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

BBallWiki also shows some anomalies. Manorainjan 07:13, 5 June 2015 (PDT)

Is this still an issue? If so, what exactly are you seeing? -- BrandonCsSanders (talk) 11:53, 1 July 2015 (PDT)
DiezelSun This isn't a problem with the template--someone just put in "0" because at the top of the statistics page is "0". Also, Brandon isn't likely to respond--you can post to my talk instead. (Brandon, if you're out there, feel free to contradict me.) Koavf (talk) 07:19, 30 September 2016 (PDT)
OK, problem was, that status was "active" instead of "Active". --Manorainjan 09:59, 30 September 2016 (PDT)

edit conflict[edit]

this is the second time I'm getting the edit conflict warning (anonymous) on Your talk page. But the edit is already visible in RC. --Manorainjan (talk) 16:47, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

I'm getting edit conflict messages also on other pages where surely nobody is editing. It is a mistake. Manorainjan (talk) 11:32, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Hmmm. I'll look into this. I'm not sure why that would be happening. How often does it happen? Does it happen every time? BrandonCsSanders (talk) 15:45, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
I just got it on this page. So I'm able to duplicate the problem. BrandonCsSanders (talk) 15:46, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Not always, only once in a while, like just now ;-) "Someone else has changed this page since you started editing it. The upper text area contains the page text as it currently exists. Your changes are shown in the lower text area. You will have to merge your changes into the existing text. Only the text in the upper text area will be saved when you press "Save page"." Manorainjan (talk) 16:10, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

I got one again and this time I'm surre it was me whith whom the system saw my edit in conflict. The Page did not relaod after save, so I stopped it and clicked save again. Now the system told me of "someone" who had edited the page. Why can this system no know who that was and tell me? Manorainjan 07:42, 4 July 2015 (PDT)

Malformed e-mails[edit]

Upgrade to 1.24.2[edit]

Account request e-mails[edit]

Please inspect Now they are being sent out twice. I just got two for User:Laken Hardy, one after MarkDilley made the account. Koavf (talk) 08:57, 27 April 2015 (PDT)

  • Multiple e-mails I just got three e-mails reading "(Rickymarioz1) has requested an account and is waiting for confirmation.

The email address has been confirmed. You can confirm the request here https://wikiindex.org/Special:ConfirmAccounts" Koavf (talk) 21:44, 10 May 2015 (PDT)

Optimization?[edit]

Looks like woorank got some interesting suggestions: https://www.woorank.com/en/www/wikiindex.org Manorainjan 05:45, 18 May 2015 (PDT)

output format of edit count[edit]

Looks like an very old configuration problem to me: https://wikiindex.org/api.php?action=query&list=users&ususers=BrandonCsSanders&usprop=editcount Can it be fixed? Manorainjan 13:42, 21 May 2015 (PDT)

Where does this link come from and what should it be displaying? BrandonCsSanders (talk) 16:37, 21 May 2015 (PDT)
https://wikiindex.org/api.php?action=query&list=users&ususers=BrandonCsSanders&usprop=editcount&format=xml gets it in xml if that is what you want BrandonCsSanders (talk) 16:37, 21 May 2015 (PDT)
I copied it from some ones user page where it was configured very similar to what is now the first line of my user page (right end). Mathematically the output looks correct. Manorainjan 02:15, 22 May 2015 (PDT)

Bug: Create Page[edit]

"A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software." I tried to create a page "Was ein Wiki ist", translated WhatIsWiki into German, whereas I started by editing Help:Hilfe:Inhalt, changing the link to Was ein Wiki ist, used [Show Preview] and created the new page from there, without finishing my edit on Help:Hilfe:Inhalt. All Data from the new page got lost during [Save page]. --Manorainjan 04:54, 7 February 2016 (PST)--Manorainjan 04:54, 7 February 2016 (PST)

OSCamp[edit]

Time to update? --Manorainjan 06:09, 18 March 2016 (PDT)

wikiFactor[edit]

Hey Brandon, do you know what the issues are surrounding the Hit Counter that is used in wikiFactor, i.e. if there aren't technical ramifications for WikiIndex, is it possible to put this on a update schedule? Best, MarkDilley

Indeed we should have this extension! --Manorainjan 01:16, 30 May 2017 (PDT)

Runtime error[edit]

List of wikis by number of pages What is happening here? Koavf (talk) 14:38, 22 June 2016 (PDT)

IP-Edit while logged in[edit]

I was looged in during my last edit. It did not show in RC and not in my contributions list. --Manorainjan 04:12, 20 August 2016 (PDT)

Thanks[edit]
