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)

Jake, I should have mentioned this earlier, but refreshing the article count hasn't worked, so I would like you to switch to the 'comma based' article count please. Thanks, Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 13:14, 12 August 2011 (EDT).

No problem. I've just made the change for you. Let me know if it helps at all. :) --Jake 13:41, 12 August 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)

Any updates? Doh5678 (talk) 12:08, 21 August 2011 (EDT)

Sorry about that. I'll start working on it right away! The German language abbreviation in MediaWiki is de, right? So de.simpsonswiki.net? --Jake 18:15, 21 August 2011 (EDT)

Yep, it's de --Smiley12 00:59, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Okay, it should be all set up now, aside from the logo. :) Let me know if you need any other configuration changes made. --Jake 13:19, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Can you add interwiki's onto de, and add de to zh and sv. I'm looking forward to more interwiki fun :)--Cook879 13:37, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

I would like steward rights, please. Doh5678 (talk) 13:44, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Do you speak german, Doh5678? FatHomer^Talk 14:24, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Ja, ich. (English:Yes, I do) Doh5678 (talk) 14:33, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Just an FYI, and I'm sure you realized, but by interwiki i meant language links. Thanks --Cook879 16:03, 23 August 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)

Thanks :D--Cook879 10:51, 7 August 2011 (EDT)

It seems the Chinese wiki's having some problems, including that I can't edit pages (says stuff about session hijacking) and after I logged out I cant log in --Smiley12 04:07, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

I opened my recent changes bookmark for both Chinese and Svenska and both give me database errors.--Cook879 07:32, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

Is this still an issue? Both sites seem to be working fine for me right now. --Jake 12:15, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

Nope, it seems fine now :)--Cook879 12:17, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

WebChat

Hi, could you configure WebChat to link to this channel instead please: irc://freenode/wikisimpsons ShoutWiki's IRC server is going offline for a while so we need to use our backup channel. Thanks, The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 14:27, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

Sure, but that's not really a valid IRC channel name. It has to have a domain as well, such as the previous irc.shoutwiki.com. Are you sure that's the only way to connect? --Jake 16:32, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

The server is simply "freenode". The channel name is "wikisimpsons". ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 16:35, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

Alright, I've put in those settings for you like this: --Jake 10:59, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

$wgWebChatServer  = 'freenode';
$wgWebChatChannel = 'wikisimpsons';

OK, not working. Found out the correct server is irc.freenode.net. Could you change it to that please? Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 11:05, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

Sure, no problem! --Jake 12:22, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

$wgWebChatServer  = 'irc.freenode.net';
$wgWebChatChannel = 'wikisimpsons';

Vandalism attacks

Because of the recent vandalism attacks on Simpsons Fanon, I would like to request a global block of IPs on the wiki. Thanks, Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 06:51, 23 August 2011 (EDT)

This is essentially the same situation as here. The solution was to have an extension that stops spam bots editing and registering. Maybe that could apply there. Doh5678 (talk) 07:13, 23 August 2011 (EDT)

Looking through recent changes, I feel that this will be for the best. Let;s try it for two weeks and remove it after that. If it carries on, make it permanent. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 12:13, 23 August 2011 (EDT)

Is the captcha extension installed on Fanon? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:29, 23 August 2011 (EDT)

No, it wasn't. I had no idea that it wasn't running over there. It's all set up now, so hopefully that will help cut down the vandalism. :) --Jake 21:25, 23 August 2011 (EDT)

About the advertisments

Hi, do you decide which ads which are shown on this site? I don't think you should have the ads with scantily clad women. And dating ads and dating asians ads... I don't really care, but as many other wikis they think about that there is maybe children that are visiting the site so they don't swear and more. So you should take away those ads. FatHomer^Talk 14:41, 24 August 2011 (EDT)

No, I do not decide which advertisements appear on the site. (Google does.) If you'd like me to block any ads, just leave a message on my talk page with the URL of the ad. :) --Jake 15:05, 24 August 2011 (EDT)

My request was passed

Hi, since my request was passed, could you make a new usergroup called "Wikisimpsons Head"? Could it also have the powers: revisiondelete, checkuser and any other tools that you can think of that I should have (I can't think of any more). Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 03:25, 25 August 2011 (EDT)

Oh yeah, it also has to be so other bureaucrats can't change the group (I doubt they will as I trust them but it just feels right). Also, could you make it so that bureaucrats can't change other crats powers? Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 03:31, 25 August 2011 (EDT)

Oops, sorry. I didn't even see that request. I've made the changes, and added you to the group. I've also made it so that bureaucrats can't remove other users from the bureaucrat group. Let me know if you'd like any other changes. :) --Jake 11:04, 25 August 2011 (EDT)

It appears that 'Wikisimpsons Head' is too long for a group title. I've changed it to just 'Wiki Head'. I hope that's fine. --Jake 11:08, 25 August 2011 (EDT)

That's fine. I'm not in the group however. You also commented in the discussion so you must have seen it :P The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 12:02, 25 August 2011 (EDT)

In order to speed things up, our server caches a lot of things including group memberships. But I assure you that you've been added to the group, and that you should see the change soon. And yeah, I must have missed your request for the group. I knew you were planning on adding it, but I did not know that you had asked me to go forward with the plan. :P --Jake 12:35, 25 August 2011 (EDT)

Monaco on Swedish Wikisimpsons

Hi, why doesn't the monaco skin work on the swedish wikisimpsons? —Preceding unsigned comment added by FatHomer (talk • contribs) 13:40, 29 August 2011

Sorry about that. It should be working now. :) --Jake 11:45, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

Thanks :) FatHomer^Talk 12:05, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

Is it possible to transle the swedish wiki? Because at the bottom of the page it says "Improve Svenska Wikisimpsons by editing this page" "View random page" in English and i want it to be in Swedish. FatHomer^Talk 13:17, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

And also, is this something to have? http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:IRC_Chat . FatHomer^Talk 13:51, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

Are you sure your language isn't set to English? The wiki itself is already in Swedish. If the problem still exists, you can edit the message using sv:Special:AllMessages. Also, sv:Special:WebChat is already installed. --Jake 14:52, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

I found the things that I wanted to translate, how do I do now? FatHomer^Talk 15:54, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

You just need to edit (or create) the associated page. (In the MediaWiki: namespace.) It should be linked to from Special:AllMessages. :) --Jake 19:23, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

Monaco skin!

Hi, there's a "problem" with the monaco skin. You don't see the interwiki language links... Is there a way to fix that? FatHomer^Talk 13:59, 2 September 2011 (EDT)

I tried adding the 'LANGUAGES' navigation item to the monaco sidebar, but it didn't work. Unfortunately it doesn't look like this monaco port was built to handle interwiki language links. --Jake 14:48, 2 September 2011 (EDT)

Ok, can we get a "Community" box like on shoutwiki? FatHomer^Talk 03:33, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

And a "In other languages" box? FatHomer^Talk 04:07, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

They are not part of the Monaco Port so they can not be added. The Solar Dragon 04:09, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

How could ShoutWiki use that? FatHomer^Talk 10:20, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Thread prefix

I'm trying to write a new thread on the forum, but it keeps saying, "Thread prefixes are required in this forum. You must select a prefix for your thread based on which site this thread is related to..", but I don't know how to create a thread prefix. If you could tell me, that would be great. Thanks, Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 18:27, 2 September 2011 (EDT).

Oops, I had set up the permissions incorrectly. Try again now. Only the Wiki-related boards should require thread prefixes to identify which wiki in particular your topic relates to. The thread prefix can be selected directly to the left of the thread title text box when creating threads in those forums. :) --Jake 20:53, 2 September 2011 (EDT)

Statistics at Swedish Wikisimpsons?

Hi, can you see statistics like how many that have visited the wiki on the swedish wikisimpsons? FatHomer^Talk 09:46, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Sure. If you have a staff email account I can give you access to the statistics for it. Alternatively, I can have the server email you a daily report with all of the stats in it. --Jake 10:12, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

How do you get an staff email account? FatHomer^Talk 10:16, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

According to this page, email accounts are only available to sysops currently. However, I can still send you the email reports if you'd like. --Jake 10:22, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Yes, i would like to have that. Same adress as i registrated with. FatHomer^Talk 10:24, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Ok, it's all set up. It should send you a report right away, and then once per day with the updated stats. :) --Jake 10:28, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Could you do that with German Wikisimpsons as well? Thanks, Doh5678 (talk) 10:37, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Thanks  :) FatHomer^Talk 10:57, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Just a side note, but as FatHomer is a sysop on the Swedish wiki he should have access to an email account :).--Cook879 12:27, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Really? My mistake. I'll move you to the Wiki Admins group on the forum and you can send me a PM to request an email account. Thanks for pointing that out Cook879! :) --Jake 13:40, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Default skin?

How do i change the default skin on the swedish wiki? FatHomer^Talk 11:46, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Which skin would you like it to be? --Jake 11:48, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Or, maybe no. Thanks anyway FatHomer^Talk 11:50, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Let me know if you change your mind. It's just a simple change in the code. :) --Jake 12:09, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Email

Jake, since I'm an admin on Fanon and de, Solar said I could have an email account over IRC. Thanks, Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 09:46, 6 September 2011 (EDT).

No problem. Just send me a PM on the forums and I'll get you set up. :) --Jake 10:12, 6 September 2011 (EDT)

Points system

Jake, I think I may have found a way to keep ShoutWiki contribs in the points system. Read this. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 10:45, 6 September 2011 (EDT)

Thanks for finding that! I've run the script, and here's the printout: --Jake 11:17, 6 September 2011 (EDT)

So, are you going to activate the points system with Shoutwiki's edits and this wiki's edits again? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 11:34, 6 September 2011 (EDT)

I never deactivated it. To be honest, I have no idea how to set it up either. Is there a special page that's used on ShoutWiki to set it up? --Jake 11:38, 6 September 2011 (EDT)

No, you use this template:

<loggedin><welcomeUser />
</loggedin> <loggedout><randomuserswithavatars count=15 row=5/></loggedout>

I still don't think that's going to work though. That issue wasn't caused by the edit count, but by our server's caching system. I don't think it's just going to start working now that the edit counts have been updated. --Jake 12:19, 6 September 2011 (EDT)

Forum vandalism

There's been some profanity and vandalism on some forum threads, Jake, could you please sort it out? Thanks, Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 14:45, 9 September 2011 (EDT).
And even more importantly, pornographic images.--Cook879 14:52, 9 September 2011 (EDT)

I'm currently working on it. Thanks for the reports guys. :) --Jake 15:02, 9 September 2011 (EDT)

IRC meeting

There is an IRC meeting now, would you like to come? Doh5678 (talk) 15:04, 10 September 2011 (EDT)

I'm afraid I can't make it tonight. Thanks for the offer though! Hopefully I'll be able to attend future IRC meetings. :) --Jake 16:12, 10 September 2011 (EDT)

Would you like to come to the IRC meeting tonight, Jake? It would be a pleasure for you to come to the 6th anniversary meeting! Thanks, Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 14:26, 24 September 2011 (EDT)

Looks like I missed it again. :( I always read through the logs, but hopefully I'll be able to attend one in person soon. --Jake 20:05, 24 September 2011 (EDT)

Merchandise Wiki

Jake, Solar's told me I can ask you to put the merchandise wiki up. Can you set it up on merchandise.simpsonswiki.net. Thanks! Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 03:36, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Isn't there a shorter sub-domain we can use?--Cook879 05:52, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

I can't really think of anything that would be shorter. Is it alright to just set it up as merchandise.simpsonswiki.net? --Jake 11:01, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Yes, you can set it up as merchandise.simpsonswiki.net. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 11:16, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Ok, I'll get started on it right away. :) --Jake 11:24, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

You should be good to go! :) --Jake 12:22, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

What is the interwiki link? or what it's called. FatHomer^Talk 12:31, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

It's 'merchandise'. Example: merchandise:Main Page --Jake 13:51, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Thanks! FatHomer^Talk 14:01, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Jake, could I please have admin and beuercrat rights on the Merchandise Wiki please. Thanks. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 14:38, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Sure. --Jake 15:17, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Could you set up a logo also. Use the one supergeeky1 suggested on the forums. Doh5678 (talk) 13:36, 19 September 2011 (EDT)

Sure thing. It should be up now! --Jake 15:04, 19 September 2011 (EDT)

Slideshow

Is it possible to get slideshow's like this http://vampireknight.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Cover_slideshow and this http://dgrayman.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Slideshow ? FatHomer^Talk 12:43, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Not that I know of. Sorry! :( --Jake 13:51, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Interwiki redirects and double redirects

Hi, our interwiki redirects show up in double redirects. Is there any way of stopping this? Thanks, ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 15:33, 20 September 2011 (EDT)

Oh, and can you add merchandise to Piwik please? Thanks, The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 15:35, 20 September 2011 (EDT)

I don't know of any way to stop that from happening. This site seems to offer some useful information though. I've just given you access to the Merchandise Piwik. --Jake 15:40, 20 September 2011 (EDT)

Can i have access too Jake? Thanks.--Cook879 15:43, 20 September 2011 (EDT)

Sure! --Jake 17:22, 20 September 2011 (EDT)

Thanks :)--Cook879 17:52, 20 September 2011 (EDT)

Can I also have access to the merchandise wiki on Piwik, please? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 11:08, 21 September 2011 (EDT)

Me also. Doh5678 ^talk 11:13, 21 September 2011 (EDT)

Ratchetpedia

I've had this wiki on my mind since last year, and I am thinking of opening a new site dedicated to the Ratchet & Clank series. SolarDragon told me to ask you if you could help me start this wiki. I'll acept advertisments, along with Monobook, Monaco and Vector. Thank you. :) UxieLover1994 05:53, 21 September 2011 (EDT)

Urm... I said he'd help start, not set one up for you. He can only give you tips etc. on how to do it I'm afraid... ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 08:35, 21 September 2011 (EDT)

Oh, sorry. But how can I set up a site when I'm not allowed to spend any money on the internet? I also don't want to use a farm. UxieLover1994 11:10, 21 September 2011 (EDT)

I'm sorry, but I can't really help you with hosting. I'm constantly working behind the scenes here at Wikisimpsons to keep our servers responsive and ensure that we have enough disk space available for the database and uploads. I've also got to run backups frequently, which take several hours to complete. Between this and school, I don't really have much time left for more projects. If you'd like some help setting up an independent wiki by yourself, I'd be happy to walk you through it. Unfortunately though, you're not going to be able to host anything for less than $5 a month. Sorry. :( --Jake 15:26, 21 September 2011 (EDT)

Not true, https://www.siteground.com/friends.htm?referrer_id=6881779 great to start out on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.217.13.75 (talk) 20:51, 21 September 2011

If that package supports PHP and includes at least one MySQL database, then it may be worth a try as well. But it does look as though the price will go up after a year. --Jake 22:48, 21 September 2011 (EDT)

$50/year for me, plus unlimited mediawiki installation, which you can do by yourself, unlimited subdomains to be added on, unlimited email accounts, a bunch of ways to view who visited and what they looked at, even block ip addresses from even viewing the site. its worth it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.217.13.75 (talk) 02:48, 22 September 2011

Well, I'll look into it, but I'll need to find a way to pay for it. Since I am unable to pay for it myself, it might as well be impossible. UxieLover1994 03:56, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

Infobox change

Hi Jake, with the changes you made to the gender templates, the Animal infobox has became messed up now, as you can see on Multi-eyed squirrel. Can you look into this please? Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 02:31, 27 September 2011 (EDT)

Sorry about that. The fix is rolling out to pages now. :) --Jake 16:30, 27 September 2011 (EDT)

Thanks. And have you seen the new episode yet? The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:32, 27 September 2011 (EDT)

I have, and I thought it was a pretty great episode to start off the season. Looks like Nedna is here to stay too! --Jake 16:42, 27 September 2011 (EDT)

I thought it had a few laughs but the overall story just didn't work. The "subplot" and other guest star were just the stupidest things ever though <_< ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 16:47, 27 September 2011 (EDT)

Yeah, I feel the same way. My mom is a big Kiefer Sutherland fan, so of course she loved it. :P (But not as much as 24 Minutes.) --Jake 16:51, 27 September 2011 (EDT)

Can't access Merch. wiki pages...

For some reason, some users have mentioned over IRC that they can't access http://merchandise.simpsonswiki.net/wiki/The_Simpsons_Shotglas_Set http://merchandise.simpsonswiki.net/wiki/The_Simpsons_Mug and images http://merchandise.simpsonswiki.net/wiki/File:The_Simpsons_Shotglas_Set.jpg and http://merchandise.simpsonswiki.net/wiki/File:The_Simpsons_Mug.jpg Is there any way to fix this? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 16:01, 30 September 2011 (EDT)

I don't really see why this is happening in the first place. I've never seen something like this happen before. I'm downloading the wiki locally and running tests to see if I can diagnose the problem. :) --Jake 19:50, 30 September 2011 (EDT)

It looks like PHP was running out of memory for some reason. I've increased the memory limit, and the pages should be working just fine now. :) --Jake 20:36, 30 September 2011 (EDT)

Error at sv.simpsonswiki.net

When I try to move a page or search something on the Wiki i get Database Error. It has been so since a few days. /AleWi 12:06, 1 October 2011 (EDT)

Wow, looks like the search index crashed. It should be repaired now, and fully functional. --Jake 15:49, 1 October 2011 (EDT)

Piwik

Could you please continue with mine and Doh5678's request to have access to the merchandise wiki statistics on Piwik please! Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 12:34, 3 October 2011 (EDT)

I didn't even know you guys requested access. You should be able to see the stats now. Doh5678 is going to need to send me a PM on the forums to request a Piwik account first though. --Jake 15:31, 3 October 2011 (EDT)

WebChat

Jake, there's either a problem for me or a problem for everyone on WebChat. When I try to log on, it says I'm "terminated". Can you fix this, please? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 11:14, 6 October 2011 (EDT)

It is problem for me too if I use Special:WebChat /AleWi 12:20, 6 October 2011 (EDT)

Sorry, but the web chat is completely beyond my control. Judging by that error, there seems to be a problem with the IRC channel. You'll need to contact Solar Dragon to see if he can fix the IRC channel. --Jake 20:45, 6 October 2011 (EDT)

It's Freenode itself. It doesn't seem to allow us to connect via WebChat. The details I told Jake were all correct so it should work but Freenode itself seems to be bitchy about it. When ShoutWiki's IRC comes back online, we'll revert to that. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 06:33, 7 October 2011 (EDT)

Hmm... could you try "#wikisimpsons" instead of just "wikisimpsons" to see if that makes a difference? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 06:34, 7 October 2011 (EDT)

Sure, just updated it. :) --Jake 17:47, 7 October 2011 (EDT)

Jake, do you wanna come to this weeks IRC meeting? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 15:26, 8 October 2011 (EDT)

Navbox

For some reason, Template:Navbox doesn't work. What is the reason for this and can it be fixed? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 16:28, 8 October 2011 (EDT)

If I had to guess, it's probably because it uses regular HTML table tags (
