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.
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)
