Unexpected Behavior

Incorrectly labeled file history section

This is a minor issue that doesn't effect anything as far as I can see. Some (all?) files do not have the correct user listed in the file history. An example: File:Yalain Imperial Seal.jpg lists ASHERON-Gouru under "user" even though I was the one that uploaded it. If however, you go to the Revision history of "File:Yalain Imperial Seal.jpg" ( http://asheron.wikia.com/index.php?title=File:Yalain_Imperial_Seal.jpg&action=history ) it does correctly list me as the uploader. Like I said, its a minor issue and probably has no impact on anything, but it is an unexpected behavior. --An Adventurer 17:04, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

Edit counts on Related Links page

The edit counts do not display correctly on the Related Links page. Looks like #ec:<user> no longer displays edit counts. Not sure if this is an issue with {{Contributions}} and {{Contributions Large}} or if it has to do with the wikia software displaying edit counts differently. --An Adventurer 17:04, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

Image Galleries

Various image galleries are not displaying correctly, for me anyway. This can be seen at http://asheron.wikia.com/wiki/Artwork, http://asheron.wikia.com/wiki/Hieromancers'_Halls#Images, and http://asheron.wikia.com/wiki/Yalain#Art_.26_Images among other places. An odd behavior I noticed is that while the File:Yalain Imperial Seal.jpg does not display on the gallery, I can create a link like this or enter http://asheron.info/~asheron/index.php/File:Yalain_Imperial_Seal.jpg and the image does display. --An Adventurer 16:35, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

This appears to be an issue for any image that is resized smaller and for thumbnails. I haven't found any image that won't display as itself, but no resizings I have seen so far display (some are entirely blank, some have a placeholder). There is more than one way for Mediawiki to generate new images (whenever an image is resized Mediawiki creates a new image of that size and saves it to the Thumbs directory so that in the future it can refer to the new image file rather than generate it every time a page is rendered. I imagine there's a conflict between the old and new settings (or the way the directory is structured) that is causing this. --Tlosk 17:13, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Look with MonoBook skin

When switching to the default wikipedia skin, there seems to be 125 extra pixels at the right side of all articles, and all pages are framed or boxed. --An Adventurer 16:46, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Sidebar

The sidebar (links on the left side) will need customization once the site is live, so the current appearance both in Monaco and Monobook isn't how it will be later. --Tlosk 17:05, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Page Views

Special:Mostvisitedpages counts aren't merged with previous counts. --Tlosk 10:33, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Create Page Link Missing

Previously if you entered a term into the search box and hit go or search, and the page didn't exist yet, it would give you a create page link. This link was missing. I was able to get it back by modifying MediaWiki:Searchsubtitle to include: You can [[:$1|create this page]].</b> --Tlosk 12:29, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Missing Content

User Contributions

Some users contributions were switched with other user's names. This problem was traced to an error in the script Wikia used to merge the user databases. Most of them have been resolved however there are still a few, I am tracking these down now and they should be fixed within a few days.--Tlosk 15:38, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

Account merge/rename/problems? Post here

Post below for any account related issues and requests. I will be collating a list of requests for the techs to go through. If merging, please ensure your Wikia account's email matches your ACC Wiki account's email.

Please remember to include your exact current and proposed usernames. --Tlosk 16:58, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

For example:

Merge: I am "Asheron's Servant" on ACC Wiki and and I am "Servant of Asheron" on Wikia, please merge to "Servant of Asheron". --Asheron's Servant 16:35, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Rename: I am now "AC-Tom" and would like to be renamed to "Tom of Harvestgain". --AC-Tom 16:35, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Requests

Merge: I am "RyanR" on ACC Wiki and and I am "Dr Doom HG" on Wikia, please merge to "Dr Doom HG". --RyanR 17:05, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

(Any timeline for user account migration? --Dr Doom HG 19:05, September 24, 2009 (UTC))

They will be done as a batch so it may be a few days. --Tlosk 11:27, September 25, 2009 (UTC)
