Unresolved issues

Just making a list here, please remind me if there are any I missed:

• CategoryTOC template doesn't work
• Some parser functions don't work

These seem to be fixed now. --Jake 15:46, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

This doesn't work yet: Template:Portal.FatHomer^Talk 19:05, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Just so I can get an idea of how to go about fixing it, what exactly is this template supposed to display and where is it used? --Jake 20:59, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

It should look like this: http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Portal and is used like a galllery or something is seen on the main page: http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Simpsons_Wiki .

• Polls are broken
• WikiForum is broken
• Main page social profiles glitch
• Main page footer issue

Solved. There was a missing div. --Jake 15:46, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

<_< Why didn't I try that? The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:02, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:56, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Also, we will be having a meeting on IRC this Saturday, 7PM Wikisimpsons time. You are free to join us. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:56, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for that! And I'll be sure to stop by if I get the chance. :) --Jake 20:25, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

A couple more things

There is still that weird glitch at the bottom of the main page. Also, will you be entering the design-a-skin comp? The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 19:28, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

I added that issue to the list. At the moment, it doesn't look like I'll have time to enter the competition. Sorry about that. :( --Jake 04:42, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Namespaces

Can we have dictionary and news namespaces so we can move over content from the dictionary and news wikis on Shoutwiki? Thanks.--Cook879 10:58, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Done. :) -Jake 13:18, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Swedish wikisimpsons

Hi can you move the swedish wikisimpsons to simpsonswiki? FatHomer^Talk 19:05, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

This is the one on Wikia. (just requested a database dump, here) ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 19:41, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Or, i don't want a database dump i want to start from the begining. sv.simpsonswiki.net? FatHomer^Talk 19:44, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

In that case, you will be wanting a subdomain sv.simpsonswiki.net added then and bureaucrat rights I presume, which I am fine with. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 20:27, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Yeah FatHomer^Talk 20:28, 13 July 2011 (UTC) Also, if it's possible with acchivements i would like to have that. FatHomer^Talk 20:34, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

I explained this on my talk page. Achievements are a Wikia-only extension. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 20:36, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

So you want a brand new wiki with the same configuration settings as this one set up at sv.simpsonswiki.net? Should the language be swedish as well? --Jake 21:04, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Yes, i don't like the swedish translation of the wiki but the main language should be swedish anyway and if you want, you can change language in the settings. FatHomer^Talk 08:43, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

I'll get this set up as soon as I can. :) What should the name of the wiki be? --Jake 22:57, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

 :D , I,ll be away for about a week so you don't need to hurry. The name should be something like "Svenska Wikisimpsons". 09:21, 15 July 2011 (UTC)FatHomer^Talk

Image error?

http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/File:What_About_If...Skinner_Was_Scottish%3F.png ? FatHomer^Talk 09:47, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Moving it worked. File:What About If Skinner Was Scottish.png. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 09:52, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Different logo in namespaces

Hi Jake, I know this is possible, Uncyclopedia and Darthipedia do it. Can we have this as the logo in the Dictionary namespace and this as the logo under the News: namespace please? Thanks, The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 12:14, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Done. I'm not sure how those wikis do it, but I used some fancy CSS rules so you guys can change them if necessary. See the top of MediaWiki:Common.css to see what I did. :) --Jake 16:47, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

So, I'm guessing that ns-706 is the Dictionary namespace and ns-708 is the News namespace? Is there is a list of the codes of each namespace anywhere? The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 17:46, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Correct. The default namespace ids are listed here. I'll post our custom namespace ids below. --Jake 19:21, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

$wgExtraNamespaces[702] = "Blog";
$wgExtraNamespaces[703] = "Blog_talk";
$wgExtraNamespaces[704] = "Forum";
$wgExtraNamespaces[705] = "Forum_talk";
$wgExtraNamespaces[706] = "Dictionary";
$wgExtraNamespaces[707] = "Dictionary_talk";
$wgExtraNamespaces[708] = "News";
$wgExtraNamespaces[709] = "News_talk";

Monaco content background

Hi Jake, the only problem with the Monaco skin now is the content space is white. I've tried changing this to no avail. Could you have a look at it? Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:05, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and there's a bit of a bug with the Social profile with bits overlapping in Monaco. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:09, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I'll try reinstalling Monaco to see if it helps. :) --Jake 23:52, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Oh, it was just a CSS error. Fixed. :) --Jake 11:49, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

There's still a problem with user pages. Everything is messed up. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 12:47, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Yeah. I noticed that before but there's not really anything I can do about it. It's a problem with the Monaco port itself. --Jake 13:45, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Sound files

Hi Jake. Is there any way to display a file like on here. This is for .ogg and .mp3 files. Thanks in advance. Doh5678 (talk) 18:42, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I've got the template, but the play button thing doesn't work. Doh5678 (talk) 19:41, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I've installed OggHandler, which should allow you to play sound. See this page for more information on the syntax. :) --Jake 23:52, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

The Play button still doesn't show up on Template:Sound file. Doh5678 (talk) 13:49, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

I'm looking in to this. Thanks for bringing it up! :) --Jake 16:07, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Upload directory read only

When i try to upload a image on sv.simpsonswiki.net. I get the messege "Upload directory read only" and i can't upload images. /AleWi 15:20, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Should be fixed now. :) --Jake 16:07, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Interwiki links

Could you enable interwiki links between here and the Swedish wiki please? Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 15:57, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Done. All interwiki prefixes can be administrated on Special:Interwiki, by the way. :) --Jake 16:07, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

I mean interlanguage links, sorry. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 16:23, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

No problem. I've never actually set up interlanguage links, but it seems like they're just interwiki links with special names. I'll go set them up. --Jake 16:38, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Social profile

Hi, there's an update for the social tools that allows admins to edit other users profiles. Link. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 05:27, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

Installed. :) --Jake 09:52, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

thanks. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 10:09, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

Vacation!

Just to let you all know, I'll be away from 7/24 to 7/28. I'll have a 3G tablet with me in case the server has any issues, but for the most part I will be relatively inactive. Any issues that arise during that time should be brought to the attention of your department head.

If for any reason you do need to contact me immediately, I can be reached at jake@simpsonwiki.net.

Thanks, and I'll see you all when I return. --Jake 14:02, 23 July 2011 (EDT)

Simpsons Fanon number of articles problem

Hi, Jake. I should have dropped a note before you went on vacation, but there is a problem on Simpsons Fanon. On the Special:Statistics page on Simpsons Fanon, it says there is 29 articles, however, there is 60 articles (excluding redirects) on the wiki. Please note that there may be more articles added after the time this comment was published. I hope this problem will be fixed after your vacation. Thanks, Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 07:58, 26 July 2011 (EDT).

I'll go ahead and refresh the article count for you. I should also point out that only pages that meet MediaWiki's definition of an article are included in the 'Article' statistic. If you'd like, I can switch the wiki over to the 'comma based' article count mentioned in that MediaWiki article. Hope this helps! :) --Jake 13:14, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

German wiki

Hey Jake. Could you setup a german wiki. Thanks. Doh5678 (talk) 15:59, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

Sure. I'd just like to get the Chinese wiki up and running first. :) --Jake 11:34, 31 July 2011 (EDT)

Rate the page?

Is it possible to get this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_Feedback_Tool on this wiki? FatHomer^Talk 10:47, 2 August 2011 (EDT)

Even if it is possible, I don't want it. It's too intrusive. If there was a way to get the system they used on Wikia (a small rating out of 5 stars) that would be good. Otherwise, no. That is too big. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 11:12, 2 August 2011 (EDT)

Hmmm... Yes, it would be good with a 5 star rating. FatHomer^Talk 12:41, 2 August 2011 (EDT)

Well, I found this: W4G Rating Bar. You can see it in use here (Bottom of page). I think we can add it to specific pages or all pages. We could try adding it to specific pages at first with the option of uploading it to all pages if it works. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 13:44, 2 August 2011 (EDT)

Yes, that looks good. FatHomer^Talk 05:05, 3 August 2011 (EDT)

I'll try to get that installed as soon as possible. I've been running a bit behind with work lately, but I'm trying to get caught up with everything that needs to be done here. :) --Jake 18:33, 3 August 2011 (EDT)

Do you se a list of all highest rated pages with that? FatHomer^Talk 03:54, 4 August 2011 (EDT)

Chinese Wikisimpsons

I'd like the logo to be like this: Also the site name should be 辛普森维基, thanks --Smiley12 18:32, 5 August 2011 (EDT)

Done. I've also granted you access to that wiki's statistics in Piwik. Let me know if you need anything else. :) --Jake 18:43, 5 August 2011 (EDT)

The 'project page' namespace should be called "辛普森维基", I want steward rights also. Thanks --Smiley12 23:41, 5 August 2011 (EDT)

Done. :) --Jake 09:39, 6 August 2011 (EDT)

Can you set up the language links for zh? Thanks. --Cook879 07:46, 7 August 2011 (EDT)

Should be all set up now. :) --Jake 10:30, 7 August 2011 (EDT)
