 * Database error

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "MediaWikiBagOStuff:_doquery". MySQL returned error "1062: Duplicate entry 'wikidb:messages:Currentevents-url' for key 1 (localhost)". it says bug, but i don't see what it affected --DM 19:00, 21 May 2005 (EDT)


 * I am getting Internal error. on all Special:Log-pages. --Alreth 17:08, 23 Mar 2005 (EST)


 * me too> dark tobberz


 * This was fixed in MediaWiki 1.4.0, to which I have just upgraded to. --Erig 17:17, 26 Mar 2005 (EST)


 * It does appear to be fixed. Thanks!

Page names being case sensitive... maybye more of a "should be fixed" than a bug. --Tendanix 07:29, 25 Sep 2005 (EDT)

$$$$ tags not working

 * I tried using the $$$$ tags and they don't seem to be working. Are they disabled or is this an unexpected error? If they are disabled, then perhaps you should remove the "Mathematical formula (LaTeX)"-button above the textarea where you write/edit pages. --Alreth 08:28, 28 Mar 2005 (EST)

Blank pages?

 * Some pages show up as plain blank/white with no content. Not even a menu. For example this page: Special:Log, but also histories of edits of articles and other kind of pages.


 * Blank pages occur because I hide PHP error messages. Instead of showing specific error messages to the user, I log them on the server instead. I will look into getting these errors resolved.


 * I fixed the problem, let me know if more blank pages occur. --Erig 19:53, 26 Sep 2005 (EDT)

MediaWiki 1.5.0

 * I have upgraded to MediaWiki 1.5.0 (from 1.4.10). Let me know if there are any problems! --Erig 20:47, 6 October 2005 (EDT)

Hope this can help you somehow. --Mithyus 21:05, 6 October 2005 (EDT)
 * After hitting "Random Page" sometimes, I got this error messege:

Image Upload
I'm getting an error trying to upload an image: Special:Upload "The upload directory (/usr/www/tibia.erig.net/images) is not writable by the webserver."


 * 10:21, 7 October 2005 (EDT)


 * Ditto. Seems to be broken for everybody.

 * Try now! --Erig 00:16, 17 October 2005 (EDT)

Same error again (The upload directory (/usr/www/tibia.erig.net/images) is not writable by the webserver.) --Tendanix 12:16, 12 November 2005 (EST)


 * Solved, again, sorry about that. ;) --Erig 03:59, 13 November 2005 (EST)

Database error on Black Knight Quest
On "Black Knight Quest" you get this error msg:

''A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden)

from within function "MediaWikiBagOStuff:_doquery". MySQL returned error "1062: Duplicate entry 'wikidb:messages:Currentevents' for key 1 (localhost)".''

Also the title bar is displayed twice.

Creatures
Some images do not load in "List of Creatures" Why...? --Magus 01:36, 23 March 2006 (CST)

It has to do with how the Wiki displays scaled images.

I don't understand how all the technicalities work, but when the wiki is "told" to display the image at a different size the original (like in the creature lists), it is supposed to change the image size on the server.

I think that the reason some images are not displaying is because the wiki did not "create" these images yet (depending upon how the page was edited). This probably happened because of some odd sequence of changing the list template after the creature was added to the list, or something to that effect.

I will see if I can figure out an easy way to force the wiki to create these scaled images. 10:49, 23 March 2006 (CST)

Hmmmm. After trying a few things... it looks like it is actually related to the dimensions of the image, not the general size of the image. Something about the aspect ratio, and the wiki not being able to scale some images down (scaling larger seems to work fine). I'll see if I can figure anything else out about it. 11:02, 23 March 2006 (CST)

Try now. The new server did not have the image conversion library installed, so any newly uploaded images could not be downsized properly. --Erig 20:03, 23 March 2006 (CST)

Excellent! It seems to be working now. One thing, though.... the new image conversion library doesn't have antialiasing? or it's not enabled?

Just a minor thing.

Thanks, Erig! 07:28, 24 March 2006 (CST)

Thanks for All xD --Magus Janus (Talk) 14:26, 24 March 2006 (CST)

Spanish Page Changes in RSS Feed?
Greetings, I use the RSS feed to watch changes in the Wiki. For the last week or so, changes have been coming through as duplicates, usually a few hours apart. One set of changes comes through with English notes (New Page, Revision as of xxx); the next set of changes comes through with Spanish notes (Paga nueva, etc.). The actual wiki content is in English both times, and the changes documented are identical. Halp, plx? --- Digger Smith, Calmera · Talk — 07:02, 26 March 2006 (CST)

I also use the RSS feed, but I have not noticed any spanish notes.

What is the URL of the feed you are using? There might also be a way to specify the language that you want to "en" in the URL in order to force it to use english. I'll see if I can find that for you.

Here is the url that I am using: http://tibia.erig.net/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss

Maybe try: http://tibia.erig.net/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss&lang=en

Premuim Quests
There's an error on the quest pages. If you look up the Postman Quest and look at the Premium info, you'll notice that it's wrong. Then, check the Quests table, and there it's correctly listed as a premium quest. The same applies to other quests also. Since I don't know enough to even begin to fix this, I thought this would be the appropriate place to post.

Niklas 18:02, 9 April 2006 (CDT)

I fixed it. Turns out that the case-conversion pseudo-templates do not work correctly with default values for template parameters. This was also causing a problem with the NPC pages.

Should be working correctly now. 07:42, 10 April 2006 (CDT)

Quest lists
There seems to be a problem with the quest lists (Quests, List of Quests by Level Requirement, etc.). Multiple people have reported that they see only the numbers "3845" repeated over and over again.

I also experienced the same thing until I log in, then it appears as usual for me. Other users, howerver, say that the list is still messed up, even after forcing a refresh of the page.

May this be related to when you temporarily dissallowed edits by non-admins?

Until this issue is resolved, all users can still access quest information by typing in the name of the quest in the "Find" box.

e.g. Searching for "Banshee Quest" will take you to the article for the banshee quest. 13:12, 5 May 2006 (CDT)

I just checked in a different browser that isn't logged in, and it displays fine. --Erig 10:55, 6 May 2006 (CDT)

I just tried it today and it worked correctly, but before I had posted the bug report, I opened the site in IE (I normally use Firefox), and it appeared as everyone said....just the numbers.

So..... that means it is either an intermittent problem, or it is a problem that fixed itself?

Maybe there was some cached information from when you updated the wiki software, or maybe httpd needed restarted or something (I don't know what is required during a normal wiki software upgrade).

At any rate, it appears to be working correctly now. 07:25, 8 May 2006 (CDT)

Raw signatures
Heylo. I've been using this as my raw signature before but now I get an error saying it's invalid. Anyonw who knows what has changed that made it invalid? here's the sig:

Deletion of old revision
If you look at the deletion log right now, you will see this:

17:01, 7 June 2006 Edwin de waterman deleted "Image:Desert quest prize.jpg" (Deleted old revision 20060606230208!Desert_quest_prize.jpg.) 17:00, 7 June 2006 Edwin de waterman deleted "Image:Desert quest prize.jpg" (Deleted old revision 20060606230208!Desert_quest_prize.jpg.) 16:59, 7 June 2006 Edwin de waterman deleted "Image:Desert quest prize.jpg" (Deleted old revision 20060606230208!Desert_quest_prize.jpg.)

The bug, is that I once deleted a revision, but it shows up trice.

It's not a bug with high need of notification, but this counts for more things.

What happened is that I went to another page, and then pressed the "Back" button of my browser, which brought me back to the deletion page.

Because my browser reloaded the page again, it also "deleted" the revision again.

This also happens with more things like pressing the "submit" button twice after making or editing an article or page.

Template transforming seemingly doesn't work
For example, the Scythe page shows: Item Class: Template:Ifeq:Tools instead of the actual item class. -- Kisa 04:17, 9 July 2006 (PDT)

Templates
Whats wrong with theses templates? Even Watermans profile is broken: [Edwin de watermans profile]

This is a problem with the new version of MediaWiki (version 1.7+) A change needs to be made on the server, and then all of the pages that use any of these parser functions will need to be updated.

'' Erig, following these instructions should fix the problem, and allow the parser functions to work, but all of the template pages will need to be updated to use the pound sign in front of all of the parser functions. I'll be happy to do that once they are working again.''

Most ParserFunctions (except #if, which does not work at all) work just as well on MediaWiki 1.6, but the syntax of ParserFunctions is without the '#' character. If you want to use the '#' character, find this section of ParserFunctions.php: $wgParser->setFunctionHook( 'expr', array( &$wgExtParserFunctions, 'expr' ) ); $wgParser->setFunctionHook( 'if', array( &$wgExtParserFunctions, 'ifHook' ) ); $wgParser->setFunctionHook( 'ifeq', array( &$wgExtParserFunctions, 'ifeq' ) ); $wgParser->setFunctionHook( 'ifexpr', array( &$wgExtParserFunctions, 'ifexpr' ) ); $wgParser->setFunctionHook( 'switch', array( &$wgExtParserFunctions, 'switchHook' ) ); $wgParser->setFunctionHook( 'ifexist', array( &$wgExtParserFunctions, 'ifexist' ) );

Then, replace it with this:

$wgParser->setFunctionHook( '#expr', array( &$wgExtParserFunctions, 'expr' ) ); $wgParser->setFunctionHook( '#if', array( &$wgExtParserFunctions, 'ifHook' ) ); $wgParser->setFunctionHook( '#ifeq', array( &$wgExtParserFunctions, 'ifeq' ) ); $wgParser->setFunctionHook( '#ifexpr', array( &$wgExtParserFunctions, 'ifexpr' ) ); $wgParser->setFunctionHook( '#switch', array( &$wgExtParserFunctions, 'switchHook' ) ); $wgParser->setFunctionHook( '#ifexist', array( &$wgExtParserFunctions, 'ifexist' ) );

Are you sure I need to make server changes? Apparently you have to put the # in front for 1.7 onwards. I tried this the other day and it worked in a preview. If this is true, all pages using ParserFunctions will need to be changed. --Erig 20:12, 11 July 2006 (PDT)

I also tried it, but it didn't work for me. The whole page was blank (no header or anything) when I used the "#".

If I understand it correctly, the function hook needs to be changed since "#expr" is different than "expr".

Yes, every page that uses any parserfunction will need to be changed. I was going to start making those changes already, but every time I added the pound sign, it wouldn't even preview the page.

I have added the changes.. whether it works or not is another matter. --Erig 02:43, 13 July 2006 (PDT)

Grrr.

You were right. Just making that change didn't seem to fix the problem. I've been doing some digging, and there is a new(er) version of the ParserFunctions files in the WikiMedia svn. I don't know for sure, but the latest revision says it is "update for XHTML conformance", which may be why the parser functions are rendered as if they were text instead of functions. MediaWiki seems to be getting more and more strict in parsing pages.

I can't think of anything else right now, but I will certainly keep trying to help.

I updated to the latest version of ParserFunctions.. try now? --Erig 19:56, 15 July 2006 (PDT)

It seems to work: correctly translates to:

Thanks Erig!

I'll work on updating the templates to get everything working properly again.
