Updating the CWCki

Stupidface said:
Has anyone else recently tried to visit the site and have most pages refuse to load? I can't tell if it's just an issue on my end or not, but starting to assume such as no one else has mentioned it. They just show as blank pages, this includes the main page for me. :heart-empty:

Yeah. I've also been having issues over the past couple days. Pages usually load for me but sometimes break or don't load fully. 500 Internal Server Errors are also cropping up when trying to edit.

Talked to a few other people who say there are varying amounts of issues for them.

Mentioned to Marvin about it, he said he'll look into it.

Of all the times for the cwcki to suffer technical difficulties, it has to happen just as he's shipped off to the happy hotel/funny farm *sigh*

Some pages return simply blank with 0 bytes for me (including the main page). I can still load some other pages. Not sure if this is happening at an upstream cache or on the server itself.
 
I know it’s probably been mentioned before but I think it is a little ridiculous that the Wallflowers name STILL needs to be censored well over a decade, she even has a lolcow thread of her own here apparently so what’s the point, if it’s for some reason of courteousness I find that a stretch in of itself considering the kind of wiki it is. Can’t the actual page just have her name included? It’s been an open secret and 12 years as of now, I think it’s about time to end it.

It's a culture of the site thing. Most people who care to know her name know her name. Not using her name on the cwcki both honors the tradition and adds to the lore. If you want to scream Heathers name on KF no one is stopping you.

Marvin made some adjustments to the CWCki.

Is the site loading better now?

Yeah all’s good, I don’t understand why the site has as many errors and downtime as it does, it seems to always be on the edge of being taken down similar to ED, yet it’s always been a far more low key and work safe wiki than that. Is it an issue of money and moving around servers? Forgive me I don’t know what it’s like running a wiki.

I'm going to proofread once more Chris and Perception and then publish it. Curious, do admins have the rights to making sandboxes or can anyone do it? I've tried searching in the help section but couldn't find any. Also, how's the page creation done? I'm thinking of making a general page for (notable ?) Christubers. It'd be a simple rundown of who they are and any interactions with Chris. As well as linked to weens and carpetbagging.

I'll answer this in a cohesive order.

To create a page, you can put in the title of the article you want to make in the searchbox and hit "Go":

You will then be brought to a page for your search results. At the top of the page is a red link that is the title of the page you want to make. You'll want to click on that.

Since you're familiar with editing pages, which is essentially what the remaining steps are, I'm sure you can figure the rest out from there.

As for creating sandboxes, you do the same thing, but in this format: "User:[Username]/Sandbox".

Sorry for not posting this in talk on the CWCki but I haven't set up an account there.

I noticed that Spamton's final letter from Chris is missing the scans, and Bizarre Bazaar's final letter (which is extremely similar to Spamton's but has some extra Commodore stuff) isn't there at all.

Also in the list of Chris' hearings, they're numbered wrong, because his first hearing was actually the one in General District Court where he was assigned Heilberg and then transferred to J&DR (which was the next day, and is the "I'm famous on the internet!" one)

I can create an account for you. Just send me a DM.
 
Regarding the CWCipedia archive (archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia):

I think someone with access to the CWCki backend should look into upgrading the version of MediaWiki that the CWCipedia archive is using.

I have a feeling that the version of MediaWiki that the CWCipedia archive is using is so old that it no longer works with the version of PHP and MySQL that the site is currently using. I say this because a number of versions of MediaWiki were not forward compatible with PHP (at time of posting, the latest version, MediaWiki 1.38, is not compatible with PHP 8 yet).

After updating Mediawiki and upgrading the database, it may be possible that the links to the CWCipedia archive may work again.

If it were for real (and official) that Uwe Boll came up with the suggestion that he directs a Chris Chian biopic himself, shouldn't we include Uwe Boll as a Carpetbagger?

I am not really buying the idea that Uwe Boll would be serious with his duty of the Chris Chan biopic.
