Imperial Wiki issue

Post by Ted C »

Anyone savvy enough about Wiki code to know why the article text in the Imperial Wiki isn't rendering?

-- The King of Swamp Castle, Monty Python and the Holy Grail

"Nothing of consequence happened today. " -- Diary of King George III, July 4, 1776

"This is not bad; this is a conspiracy to remove happiness from existence. It seeks to wrap its hedgehog hand around the still beating heart of the personification of good and squeeze until it is stilled."
-- Chuck Sonnenburg on Voyager's "Elogium"

It doesn't actually serve content of the page. At all. Though, diagnosis should actually start by looking at page log and especially any errors while trying to read/serve content, so without anyone having access to these we can only guess.

I'm not really sure. I know from tinkering on various different browsers that it isn't related to the browsers themselves.

Looking at the page source of what is rendered gives us this gem:

Code: Select all

		<!-- start content -->

<!-- 
NewPP limit report
Preprocessor node count: 3/1000000
Post-expand include size: 5/2097152 bytes
Template argument size: 0/2097152 bytes
Expensive parser function count: 0/100
-->
So it seems to be a server side issue.
It has become clear to me in the previous days that any attempts at reconciliation and explanation with the community here has failed. I have tried my best. I really have. I pored my heart out trying. But it was all for nothing.

You win. There, I have said it.

Now there is only one thing left to do. Let us see if I can sum up the strength needed to end things once and for all.

Per the "Errors and Symptoms" section of the MediaWiki manual:
All pages have no content, but when editing a page the wiki text is there

Optionally with those error messages:

Code: Select all

PHP Warning: preg_replace(): Compilation failed: group name must start with a
  non-digit at offset 4 in /var/www/wiki/htdocs/includes/MagicWord.php
This is caused by a change in PCRE 8.34. You need to downgrade PCRE, or update MediaWiki to version 1.22.1 or newer (see task T60640).
So yeah, definitely server-side, but easily fixed by the looks of it.

Addendum: ImperialWiki is running MediaWiki 1.17.0, so the server might have to have MySQL updated as well; MediaWiki started requiring MySQL 5 with 1.19.0.

Guess Mike just hasn't bothered poking around on the Wiki for a really long time. Dalton might have permissions to fix it, but that's just speculation on my part. If you really want to faff around on the Wiki, ask Dalton to get in touch with Mike about it.

Remind him about that guy with the Stardestroyerdotnethastogo facebook page who is gloating that the wiki has been taken down. Bringing it back up should suffice to give that guy the aneuyrisma we all are waiting for.
A minute's thought suggests that the very idea of this is stupid. A more detailed examination raises the possibility that it might be an answer to the question "how could the Germans win the war after the US gets involved?" - Captain Seafort, in a thread proposing a 1942 'D-Day' in Quiberon Bay

That's not really a good reason to fix it anyway.

The only real reason we need is so we can access and make use of the information. I can't think of anywhere that goes over how terrible a cook Neelix really is.

that's in no way a fair comparisson as annoying as Jar-Jar could be there was a certain innocence to his actions kind of like he wasn't trying to be annoying but just didn't know better.

Neelix on the other hand was often willfully and intentionally annoying both to the crew of the Voyager andto us the audience.

There's a major difference between some who due to being clumsy and naive ends often as the centre of attention for the wrong reasons and someone who's ego demands he be the centre of attention always no matter what means are used even though said person should know better.

Also, Jar-Jar is only around for one film, Neelix drones on for damn near seven full seasons, the bastard.

Well to be fair. Given the kind of decisions and actions the crew made during those seven seasons they deserved every second with him.
It has become clear to me in the previous days that any attempts at reconciliation and explanation with the community here has failed. I have tried my best. I really have. I pored my heart out trying. But it was all for nothing.
