Darkblade123 = Shadowboy132 ?
Darkblade123 has made some "contributions" very similar to the ones made by Shadowboy132 back when he was still vandalizing the wiki(Adding things that are blatantly obvious, inaccurate, way too subjective, irrelevant to the page, written with poor grammar, etc.), and even redid some of Shadowboy132's old edits that had to be reverted(for example, the comment on the giant skeleton about it being the weakest). Not all of his edits were like this, some of them were actually useful, but you might want to ask an admin to keep an eye on him like you did with Shadowboy132 last year.--Sozen Cratos Focker 20:16, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
- I don't even see the name as being in the system. Could you please also provide me some examples? Thanks! --Irjustman 20:25, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, I'm a bonehead. Should've tried "Darkblade132". THAT one comes up, and it looks like people are already on him like flies to shit. --Irjustman 20:31, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Notification Template
I don't want to change stuff that's already on your talk page but its now listed in Category:Notification Templates due to the above post. Could you or would you allow me to change the above post to stop it doing this? --ZRoc (Talk) 04:46, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
- To be perfectly honest, I have no idea how it got there or why. But if you feel the need to make it go away, I completely trust you, unlike SOME people I could mention... --Irjustman 04:51, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you =3 --ZRoc (Talk) 05:14, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
- Ooh, SPEAKING of SOME people I could mention, one just had the feces strike the rotating ventilation device, creating a splattermess all over him. --Irjustman 05:22, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
- I realise it must have been annoying as hell for you, the admins and the editors that had to deal with Darkblade 132 (I know I would've been angry) but you really should make a copy of his, other banned and nearly banned users' comments. Then post them on a site somewhere as a "comedy of errors", like the ones for computer phone-in support. Most of the replies or assertions of these users are either so paranoid, egomaniacal or just plain stupid that from an outsiders perspective they must seem hilarious or at least fascinating in how bizzare people can be (you probably couldn't get a better script for a sit-com about the internet from a professional writer). --ZRoc (Talk) 05:13, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
- Haha, I hear ya there. Anyway, for the purposes of preserving evidence, I've already locked his page so nobody can change it, except those of us in power. This is to serve as warning to other wiki operators that they will end up having their jobs downgraded from administrators, moderators and editors to janitors. --Irjustman 17:43, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Archive Link
May I fix one of the links there? On the "More Spam Accounts" section, Roccotayersc is linked and is showing up on the wanted pages. Small problem, but I feel the need to fix it. --Link 05:39, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
- Ew, yeah, don't want that. Sorry about the delay in replying. If you see anything else out of the ordinary, please let me know. Once all the stuff's cleaned up, I wanna lock the pages so then the archives can't be modified unless absolutely necessary. --Irjustman 17:41, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
- Looks like you locked the page before I could edit it. --Link 03:19, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Wanted Pages
Would it be okay if I were to change links so that they won't show up on the wanted pages list, even if they're on user pages? So far, I've been asking the person, but there's a lot of links to deleted pictures, that I want to change, but am not sure if I should or not. --Link 04:26, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Accidental Rollback
I don't know if you had noticed or not, but I performed a rollback on one of Linkolin's latest messages on this talk page. Just so you know, it was an accidental misclick, so I'm sorry if I seemed to be causing trouble. --Aramet (Talk) 21:38, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
- Nah, think nothing of it. I trust you. :) --Irjustman 00:44, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Another Account, Sigh=
Skion's newest account seems to be User:Laff. I hope you can take care of it? --Jαy 04:33, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
- Aramet already banned him. --Link 04:37, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
The Use of Multiple Accounts from the "Exiled"
I'm very sorry for bothering you, Irjustman, but all these new accounts, only meant for vandalizing is really getting out of hand. You probably know it already and I'm probably just wasting space just repeating it, but this person is really creating a whole new account lineup. That and there's a few botting accounts like "buygoldnowandgetcashback" that's gotten in. --Miyuna 19:04, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- Don't EVER think you are bothering me by doing this. This is stuff I need to know about. I truly appreciate it.
- However, if anyone needs to apologize, I should be the one because I can't necessarily get to it quickly enough. :( I'll have to hit it when I'm on lunch (at work presently).
- Thanks! --Irjustman 19:13, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
i'd like to chime in on this, i was around during the lil escapade this morning and had my user page vandalized multiple times. Not all of the user accounts were gotten, the user "MabinogiEU" did most of the work to my page, and i suspect is some if not all of the "users" that did the same vandalisms earlier this morning. (all of the vandalisms seemed to be targeted to specific pages) His account is still active though can you please ban him or possibly null route?
I will agree with miyuna though this really has been getting out of hand, maybe some restrictions should be applied to new user accounts (ie restrictions from adding new pages, editing user pages or the main page status without [X] amount of valid contributions etc) or we could maybe implement some form of a volunteer assistant moderator program that has limited powers but still enough to keep these situations under control. Features like 3 hour temp bans (some time frame that would allow a higher moderator time to review and decide if it needs a harsher punishment) and removing inappropriate images etc.
just my two cents on current events. Miyani 20:18, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- IP address duly nulled. Douchebags. --Irjustman 20:47, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for the fast action ^^, if it brings you any satisfaction (it did for me) their own server turned against them after the mabi EU community caught onto the activity. Miyani 20:56, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oooh, ouch, that's gonna leave a mark... Or a splattermess of entrails... --Irjustman 21:26, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
small proposal
Hello there, given some recent events in the past month or so, i'd like to request that we edit the upload file pages to have a bolded or bannered message prompting people to read the image policy before uploading images. I've noticed an increase in people creating accounts to upload pictures of new items without having read the image policy, and as a result they tend to take it personally when someone replaces the images with ones in accordance to policy, and it causes alot of edit/revert wars. It might also help with the amount of unused files that get uploaded. Miyani 22:58, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'm actually not the best person to talk with about this. You might want to bring this up with User:Angevon or one of the other senior editors. I just host the wiki and maintain the hardware and software which host it. However, I'm in pretty constant contact with her, so I'll pop her a heads-up on that. Thanks! --Irjustman 18:48, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, I just spoke with Angevon; as it turns out, she was the one who directed you my way. I'll work on that as time makes itself available to me. --Irjustman 20:44, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Person attempting to make a page on glitching
User:H1111 is the User, Glitching is the page that they made, I've blanked it, and am going to write a note in the discussion page, but this should probably be watched or something. Posted this to Angevon's talk page too. -- Ladywinter 03:31, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
robots.txt
You should change your robots.txt to:
User-agent: Googlebot/2.X (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html) Disallow: User-agent: Google Disallow: User-agent: googlebot Disallow: User-agent: * Disallow: /
So it allows googlebot to index your pagesa and blocks the rest. It might come in useful when your server is down or under heavy load -Kotarou3 11:08, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'll certainly give it consideration, but please, please, PLEASE read the header of my page. You must sign any contribution you make to my page. Thank you. --Irjustman 09:16, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, i forgot =.=" -Kotarou3 11:08, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- I took a look at the server. The policy in place is to block absolutely all spidering by search engines. I now remember specifically putting that there, and I'm not removing it. --Irjustman 09:19, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- Aww, but it really helps when you can hardly get a connection with the server during peak times :O -Kotarou3 11:40, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- I think you misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm saying that the site cannot be spidered by ANY engine, including Google. Or at least, those that read and obey robots.txt. --Irjustman 18:58, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- I think he may mean that google cache is useful when certain text based sites is down or slow.--Hengsheng120·TALKCONTRIBS 20:59, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

- If you can't let google cache your pages, then you could always let others mirror the wiki. Run this weekly (replace ${mediawiki} with the location of where mediawiki is installed (eg. /var/www/wiki)):

- Thanks, guys. I can't tell you how much I appreciate everyone's support in making this happen. As you can probably already tell, this thing absolutely smokes. Furthermore, it gives us a LOT more room to grow, in terms of memory, computing horsepower, and a few other things. It was well worth all the time and effort we all put into this, and I hope you enjoy the fruits of all our work. --Irjustman 08:53, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Uh oh...?
Yo, IJ. For some reason, whenever I visit anyone's userpage, I get redirected to their contribution page. Any idea why? It doesn't happen for user talk pages, but also occurs when I go to the "edit" page. Even occurs on my own user page. o_O Is it just me? --κєνıи (»тαıĸ«) 04:21, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- Well, that's just bloody odd. Is it this way logged in, out, or both? I visited your user page and got your main page. Does anyone else see such strangenessness? Thanks! --Irjustman 16:48, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- Not me. --ZRoc (Talk) 19:58, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Problem
Not sure if it's me or the wiki but I get this error message across the top of all wiki pages and not any other website's pages;
- Warning: Parameter 1 to Language::getMagic() expected to be a reference, value given in /home/wwwhome/mabinogiworld.com/wiki/includes/StubObject.php on line 58
Also, the "user page", "discussion", "edit", "history", "move" and "watch" tabs are seperated from the top of each wiki page (they now float about 3/4 of a cm above it). Sorry to bother you if this has nothing to do with your server or software. --ZRoc (Talk) 19:21, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- It's due to the fact that Lucid Lynx uses PHP 5.3.2. One of the extensions does not like 5.3.2. I have sent a report to the devs. In the meantime, I am going to downgrade PHP and its modules to 5.3.0 or 5.2.10 to see if that alleviates the problem. --Irjustman 19:24, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- OK and thank you for the quick reply :) --ZRoc (Talk) 19:25, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- Good news! Turns out I didn't have to downgrade. And it was a one-character fix in one of the core MediaWiki files. Cyrus also informs me that a number of other items she was observing which apparently rely on this also work as they should now. I only didn't do much on this because when I discovered this issue, it was close to 3:30am and I couldn't do much deep research while at work. The best I could do was let the devs know; one got back to me with this fix. If you see anything else, please let me know. --Irjustman 21:52, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- No problem and sorry to see your on a night shift (I hated night shifts, probably why I don't sleep normally now lol). --ZRoc (Talk) 22:16, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- No big deal, though actually, I work in the day from 10a-7p, but I was working on this very late at night. Anyway, I think we're otherwise good to go here. --Irjustman 23:01, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Whenever i upload a 100% PNG and look at its page, about 6 errors come up at the top of the page and the picture is completely black.
Errors are:

~kotarou3 (talk) 22:06, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry about the delay; I have changed the config to use ImageMagick to do the resizing rather than using PHP's gd support until I can find a workable solution. Hope this helps. --Irjustman 10:38, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- Isnt ImageMagick better than gd? ~kotarou3 TALKCONTRIBS 11:39, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- To be honest, I have no idea. I haven't played with either one to tell the difference. The main thing I'm concerned about is does it work? I've already had to putz enough with PHP more than I already care for (since I consider it to be a serious threat to system security) and I'd rather not have to deal with it any more than I already have. --Irjustman 20:00, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- Nop, it doesnt work. At least ImageMagick shows the error in the picture. Look at media:Lostelf02.png ~kotarou3 TALKCONTRIBS 23:50, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- Upload it again. The file is corrupt. --Irjustman 04:23, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- Ugh, something else is wrong. The uploading ITSELF is having a problem, and it only seems to be affecting PNGs. I'll continue to work the issue until I find a resolution. --Irjustman 04:38, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, here's what I know thus far: The image scaling only indicates a problem. It's not the problem itself. The real problem is that PNGs don't upload properly. We know it affects PNGs and ONLY PNGs. The next two questions are how this happens and why only they are affected. --Irjustman 05:08, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- JPG upload broken? The jpg of the corrupted png i uploaded seems to be incorrectly processed too. See it here and this is the wiki page for it, showing a different version of the error. This is a corrupted image of a corrupted image lol.--Hengsheng120·TALKCONTRIBS 08:01, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- I have also tested with a very barebones HTML and PHP script. It corrupts absolutely EVERY upload I can throw at it, usually with the first 128 kilobytes. I'll repeat, the problem is NOT with image processing but with uploads in general. The image processing works exactly as it should since pre-existing images work fine. And it appears to be a PHP problem, not a MediaWiki problem. I will check the bugs database at Ubuntu to see what I can learn about it thus far, reporting as necessary. --Irjustman 09:14, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- Have you checked the php configuration file? (i think it was called php.conf, usually in /etc/apache2/php or /etc/php5)
- Theres a variable about the max size of the file you can upload. Also, try reinstalling/downgrading php using aptitude ~kotarou3 TALKCONTRIBS 10:00, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- I honestly don't know what the problem is right now. I attempted to downgrade PHP and it's STILL giving me fits. I may have to downgrade Apache as well. --Irjustman 11:24, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- Turns out the problem is NOT with PHP, but with Apache! I'm now running with PHP from Lucid (which is current with the running distribution), but I had to downgrade to Apache from Karmic (which is not; it is running from the previous distribution). I also had to go back to GD for thumbnails; I wasn't having luck with ImageMagick. So now, hopefully, everything works as it should Please report any further issues to me so I can keep on top of them. --Irjustman 11:48, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- Yup, now it works. Better wait for those bug fixers around the world to fix the newer apache... ~kotarou3 TALKCONTRIBS 06:32, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, even more specific information which I have been able to verify. The problem is actually with mod_fcgid; the rest of Apache is fine. And it's already being worked on as we speak. In the meantime, the only package that has a problem now is mod_fcgid; Apache has now been upgraded to what's in Lucid. --Irjustman 08:33, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Made a boo boo and wanted to explain myself
I uploaded the wrong image set on the Colin Plate Armor set, (it was requested in the talk page that a better lit set to be provided) usually after i upload images to the wiki i move them to a special folder just for such images. Unfortunately, i did not do that with my recent bonita dress uploads, and accidently uploaded that set of images. I've replaced it with the proper images already, but i thought i'd explain myself to an admin before i got in trouble. i'm very sorry about the mistake. Miyani 14:27, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- Hi there!
- To be perfectly honest, I'm not the best person to let know about this; I just make sure the wiki actually works and runs at all, along with its underlying infrastructure. You might wanna pop Angevon a heads-up about it. In any event, I'm not in the slightest bit upset because I don't play a direct role other than be the server's caretaker, which reminds me, I need to make an update. --Irjustman 08:25, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
Maintaining Wiki
Bad sysop, bad boy! Someone who runs a wiki for a hobby on his own server, should drop everything and make sure it's running 24/7! The users of this wiki have the god given (says an atheist lol) right to always be able to have edit wars, criticise the sysop's methods and generally abuse a free service. If you can't make this unreasonable demand work then I think you should resign... *oops, if sysop resigns then no wiki*... OK I'll overlook it this time. Joking, please don't kill my access and thank you for fixing the problem (I was having withdrawal symptoms T.T) --ZRoc (Talk) 07:58, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
- I agree though ~kotarou3 TALKCONTRIBS 10:48, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
- I hope your agreeing with thanking IJ for fixing the problem XD. The rest was a sarcastic joke, poking fun at anyone who would complain about the the wiki going down, when it's not only free to use but also uses IJ's time and money (well my money too but I willingly donated that). If we want full-time maintenance then we better start paying for full-time staff lol. --ZRoc (Talk) 11:44, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
- By the way, the wiki really is popular! Saw at least three seperate in-game conversations, whithin 1 hour (real time), where someone wanted info, they were then told to "wiki" it and after a short wait would tell everyone that the wiki was down. By their annoyed attitude, it looks like they really depend on us cause they didn't bother going to another site =3 --ZRoc (Talk) 11:54, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
- No doubt, people are gonna start more mirroring if the wiki isn't on 24/7!--Hengsheng120·TALKCONTRIBS 12:12, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
Hmm, the mysql server or mysqld crashes almost every day during the late night to early morning (PST). OR something is deleting the mysql socket ~kotarou3 TALKCONTRIBS 06:02, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- I can tell you what's wrong. The RAID arrays die for whatever reason, and that action takes the mounts with it. Since I run the MySQL databases in their own partition and it quite frequently happens there, if it takes out the filesystem to the point where it essentially force-umounts the filesystem out from under MySQL, MySQL itself dies. I haven't had the time to really sit down and figure things out. However, the real solution is to get a hardware RAID controller and run things that way. However, real (not as in these cheap "RAID" controllers; I'm talking about something from 3Ware or the like) controllers are not cheap, starting at about $300-500. Anyway, I'm still trying to figure this one out. --Irjustman 06:07, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- Although access has occasionally been slow, even with the new server, this is the first time in the last couple of months that I received that "cached page" message (and definitely the longest its lasted lol). I live in Australia and that means I'm on the wiki late night to early morning PST, so I think I'd notice that happening almost every day. --ZRoc (Talk) 07:44, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Foreseen stress on the system, heads up
The monster template I've been working on is approaching done, and I was thinking of implementing it on 1am on a Monday, when most people will probably be asleep. Should I change the time in your opinion? Would some other low-impact night work better for you so that you might be on standby (should you want to be) ? -- ladywinter ~{talk | contribs}~ 16:39, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Requested Null Route
http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/index.php?title=Dugald_Residential_Town&diff=202519&oldid=202517
This is about the third or fourth time I've seen this site advertised. I don't know if it's all from the same person, but in case it is, may I request a null route for this? I've already permabanned the acct itself.-- ladywinter ~{talk | contribs}~ 16:53, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
- Can admins check the IP of users? If you can, check all the edits for the website to see what IP it and the account originated from. If they are the same, it would be a repeat offender. Then a his IP can be added to the REJECT table ~kotarou3 TALKCONTRIBS 13:25, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- ...yeah I can't figure how to find their IP. =\ ~did a fast search~ however the link is the same, as is the fact that there's a "custom essays" note, and the username is always a normal sounding name with numbers after it, like Rebecca123 or Rachel123, something like that. -- ladywinter ~{talk | contribs}~ 15:32, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

New incident, Special:BlockList. Okay, now it says that I blocked IP's, does that equal a null route? ~is not especially server savvy~ Is there any other steps I should take in regards to this? -- ladywinter ~{talk | contribs}~ 16:48, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
- This is not the same. You're just blocking the user from editing the wiki based on the user's IP. A "null route" is something I put into the operating system which essentially snubs the user's attempts to make any manner of network connection to the machine. That's a few layers down from the wiki.
- The hierarchy goes something like this (it's a bit crude, so please bear with me; this is the path the user actually sees):
- Wiki -> Apache -> Linux
- The block you put is at the "Wiki" level of the stack. The "null routes" I put in are at the "Linux" side of the stack. Basically, a null-routed user will never make it past the operating system layer. It can be either a case of discarding packets or outright saying, "Go away!" using a packet that closes the connection before the layer which uses it on the server can move anything through it. The way I do it is very indiscriminate; it affects EVERY aspect of the machine from that person's point of view. Essentially, they lose complete access to the machine from their IP. It's a thermonuclear option I prefer to save for the most egregious cases because it is so all-encompassing.
- In any event, I hope that lifts the fog a little bit. --Irjustman 21:27, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
- ahhh okay, that does help, thank you! So I guess that means in future cases similar to this, I should just put a similar request here for a null-routing? -- ladywinter ~{talk | contribs}~ 21:39, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

~kotarou3 TALKCONTRIBS 08:45, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

- For Firefox, it's 3.6.8; for IE, it's 8; for WebKit, it depends on the browser, but the engine line I see the most is "AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.127 Safari/533.4". It's difficult to tell which WebKit-based browser is actually being used since it says all of those.
- What versions? That's the important part :o ~kotarou3 TALKCONTRIBS 21:45, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
- It also bears noting that newer versions of Steam also use WebKit (to allow for Mac compatibility, and possible future Linux compatibility). --Irjustman 15:59, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

- Sorry bout that. Didn't realize that wasn't in the copy paste. Updated. --κєνıи (»тαıĸ«) 03:56, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
Image Centering
How come image centering doesn't work anymore? [[File:Imagename.ext|center]] does not seem to center images as it used to. --κєνıи (»тαıĸ«) 06:24, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
- I see the problem. I'll provide a fix soon ~kotarou3 TALKCONTRIBS 09:55, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
- Replace
table.center { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; }withtable.center, div.center { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; }in Common.css ~kotarou3 TALKCONTRIBS 09:56, 25 September 2010 (UTC)- There doesn't seem to be a "Common.css" in the directory tree. --Irjustman 18:54, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

suppressredirect
Hey, you remember when I asked you to add "suppressredirect" to admin group rights? Apparently, you did, literally. You created a new user group named "admin". When you're not busy, could you move that right over to the "Administrators" group? Next time, I'll be a bit more specific. Sorry for being such a bothersome! --κєνıи (»тαıĸ«) 08:04, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
- He did? I requested it up near the place about the minion group, but he didn't seem to read it ~kotarou3 TALKCONTRIBS 08:12, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, and while you're at it, IJ, could you add a custom namespace and name it "Data"? Don't worry about the 'dealing with existing pages' part. I'll be working on that manually. :D! --κєνıи (»тαıĸ«) 08:43, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
- And allow permissions so that all user groups can edit it. /must be detailed. --κєνıи (»тαıĸ«) 08:45, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
- Or maybe only autoconfirmed users? ~kotarou3 TALKCONTRIBS 08:48, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
- Eh, if you do only autoconfirmed, people who make new accounts to only edit a data page would have to earn 10 edits. Bothersome. :\ --κєνıи (»тαıĸ«) 08:50, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
- Done on all counts; please let me know if you see any anomalies. --Irjustman 18:54, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Bad Skins
Most, if not all of this wiki is shaped around the monobook skin (aka Vector Intergrated). Using any other skin will make the wiki look deformed and ugly. Please change the default skin back to monobook for the sake of new and unregistered users D: ~◕Д◕ TALKCONTRIBS 20:03, 23 October 2010 (PDT)
- Do not bitch at me. Bitch at the ones who are more in a position to make such decisions. This may be my machine, but this is not my site. I cannot decide what is aesthetically appealing (besides, to be perfectly honest, I suck as a webmaster to begin with). --Irjustman 20:54, 23 October 2010 (PDT)
- But I thought only you had access to LocalSettings.php? ~◕Д◕ TALKCONTRIBS 22:01, 23 October 2010 (PDT)
- You haven't changed it yet ~◕Д◕ TALKCONTRIBS 18:50, 25 October 2010 (PDT)
- You still haven't changed it but yet you removed these messages ~◕Д◕ TALKCONTRIBS 04:16, 26 October 2010 (PDT)
- Two things:
- I can't make the default decision. Please consult with the site staff for their opinion. And for the record, I have complete access to the site, but I cannot decide on aesthetics. That's for folks like Cyrus, Khenta, and Recirah to decide. I just host the thing.
- Please use the LiquidThreads item from now on. That's what it's there for. The edit link is for the header, not actual discussion. I am going to leave this for a couple of days, then archive it. And please use the threads from now on. You don't have to worry about signing and you don't have to worry about indenting.
- Thanks. --Irjustman 04:23, 26 October 2010 (PDT)

Test to make sure things worked as they should
Trying to avert an SQL error on a column that doesn't exist in the "logging" table. --Irjustman 21:20, 23 October 2010 (PDT)
- Another test to be sure. --Irjustman 21:32, 23 October 2010 (PDT)
- NB: The fix actually involved adding that column. This involved going into the maintenance directory, then running:
php sql.php archives/patch-log_user_text.sql
