Template:TOCrightThis WikiIndex:2018 bugs article is a 'stub'. You can help by expanding this stub article, thanks. :-)
WikiIndex:2018 bugs — this page can be used by all editors and visitors to report any bugs or errors as noticed here on WikiIndex from our current operating configuration of MediaWiki, namely version 1.24.2. Please do not use this page for new or additional feature requests, those can be listed in WikiIndex:2018 upgrade requests.
Please list each specific bug under its own section heading. Feel free to add your own experiences, comments, etc, but please do not delete any comment should you personally be unable to replicate (though you may add a comment to that effect, should it arise).
Request an account
Special:RequestAccount is failing to process new user account registrations. This was reported here, and subsequently verified as an error by Sean.
Quote error message: Failed to connect to smtp.mandrillapp.com:587 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: Connection refused (code: -1, response: )]. Looks like WikiIndex can't connect to its email-sending server.
- I had the same problem:
Error sending mail: Failed to connect to smtp.mandrillapp.com:587 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: Connection refused (code: -1, response: )]--77.111.246.16 09:32, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
File thumbnails
Whenever an existing image file is edited, such as to add an appropriate image tagging template or include its source, the saved thumbnail often (though not always) seems to get corrupted, and then subsequently vanishes. A revert and/or rollback of 'offending' edits fails to restore thumbnail.
- Do you have an example of such image? --YiFei | talk 05:20, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
- Typically, when I want to find examples, I never can! As soon as I stumble across them, I shall list them here. :)
- I guess this might be due to the many issues of the SpecialPages detailed in the section below. --Sean, aka Hoof Hearted • Admin / 'Crat • talk2HH 12:44, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
Special:SpecialPages
Many WikiIndex Special:SpecialPages#Maintenance reports have been failing to work for some time. Specific failed pages include:
- Special:BrokenRedirects
- Special:DeadendPages
- Special:DoubleRedirects
- Special:AncientPages
- Special:LonelyPages
- Special:FewestRevisions
- Special:WithoutInterwiki
- Special:UncategorizedCategories
- Special:UncategorizedFiles
- Special:UncategorizedPages
- Special:UncategorizedTemplates
- Special:UnusedCategories
- Special:UnusedFiles
- Special:UnusedTemplates
- Special:UnwatchedPages
- Special:WantedCategories
- Special:WantedFiles
- Special:WantedPages
- Special:WantedTemplates
All of these used to work. I think they failed following the last server move, though I can't be certain, I was on sabbatical! Sean, aka Hoof Hearted • Admin / 'Crat • talk2HH 11:19, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
