Hi Mark, are you aware of any recent back-end changes to our software/configuration? I've noticed some weird text appear on [[template:Wiki]] (but its' edit history shows no changes, nor do any of its cascading templates). I've also noticed Semantic MediaWiki has vanished!! No doubt a few other plug-ins and extensions have also vanished - look at [[Special:Version]] to see it has shrunken quite dramatically! What's going on??? <confused> Best. | Hi Mark, are you aware of any recent back-end changes to our software/configuration?

You don't need a screenshot - just look at ANY article which uses the standard 'Wiki' infobox template - a few for you: [[WikiIndex]], [[Wikimedia Meta-Wiki]], or even your own user page. As [[YiFei]] states above, it seems to be any page using Wiki and/or size templates are affected. If you look at [[Special:Version]], a massive chunk of 'Parser extension tags' have gone AWOL, and I'm fairly sure many have also gone from 'Parser function hooks'. | |||
I don't wish to be in any way disrespectful to [[Emufarmers]], but it seems whenever he updates one thing, he creates a problem elsewhere. (Or it maybe that the cheque from [[Ray King]] to Emu bounced!) How about getting [[User:Jack Phoenix]] to take over our back-end sysadmin? Afterall, Jack is arguable one of ''the'' most experienced official MediaWiki developers, and a prolific MW Extension creator, and he now runs [[ShoutWiki]]. | |||
Irrespective of the way forward, it needs sorting ASAP, because it looks very messy and untidy on article pages.
