Existence WoWWiki

How long will WoWWiki be online yet? I may want to copy/paste articles from there when the articles there are more recent than those that have already been copied to here. Hans Kamp (talk) 19:10, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Wikia will maintain WoWWiki indefinitely. --Pcj (T•C) 19:11, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Okay, then I won't have to rush the editing of the articles. :) Hans Kamp (talk) 19:17, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

An offer of service

Now that we have made the transition - and I hope that Blizzard does too - I offer what service I can provide...such as it is. :) --Joshmaul (talk) 19:14, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Um, thanks? Just change WoWWiki to Wowpedia where it makes sense to, as well as any other outdated stuff. --Pcj (T•C) 19:16, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Has there been a move to change the site on Blizzard's fansite listing? --Joshmaul (talk) 19:20, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

We're working on it. Kaydeethree is going to talk to them at Blizzcon. --Pcj (T•C) 19:24, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Edit Count Display and Quantity Errors

Just happened to notice that the edit count is not showing on user pages and there is a significant discrepancy between the old and the new. Past that, grats on the move and I again think it is for the better in the long term. Ariule (talk)

Yeah, we're aware of the problem. Unfortunately, I don't think there's much that can be done. --Pcj (T•C) 00:06, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

If there is nothing to be done, then that is the way it shall be. Not a problem at all, just wanted it to be on the "aware" list. Ariule (talk)

Did the edit counts get completely reset as it appears from this side? Ariule (talk)

They're reset, but obviously they can be re-figured from counting your contributions. Which is a big chore for as many users as we have. --Pcj (T•C) 01:18, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Again, not a problem, It was fun watching the counter click and making it the 1k club was cool and all that. Perhaps a "Feat of Strength Achievement" seal and new seals for the new edit clubs. Just a thought. Ariule (talk)

On Name Changes...

Don't mean to be rude or anything, but if it's not too much trouble, could I maybe get my username changed to Teth? Thanks. -- Sebreth (T.C) 02:00, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Done. --Pcj (T•C) 02:01, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Huh. I thought it'd be more of a bother than that. Thanks a ton, bro. --

Teth (T.C) 02:10, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Rename

Now that you're here, do you want a name change? You don't need the WoWWiki- prefix anymore. --PcjWowpedia wiki manager (TDrop me a line!•C207,729 contributions and counting) 04:03, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, please. Suzaku will suffice. WoWWiki-Suzaku (talk) 04:08, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Chrome search title

Congrats on the move! I wanted to report an error I noticed earlier searching the site via the Google Chrome omnibar. Quick recap: Chrome recognizes searches on a site, and thenceforth when it sees you typing the url it will offer you the ability to press tab and enter keywords to search using the site's search functionality. When you do press tab, Chrome places an icon on the left side of the omnibar that says "Search [site name]:". When I searched Wowpedia for the first time, [site name] is still "WoWWiki" according to Chrome. I don't know where it pulls this name from, but apparently it didn't get changed over. Threw me for a loop for a second. I'm aware you can change this name manually, which I've done, but obviously the default should be fixed.

TLDR: The Chrome omnibar search functionality still calls Wowpedia "WoWWiki".

...and grr, it looks like I'm unable to repro this; when I delete the search from Chrome and make it re-generate it, "wowpedia.org" is displayed now. Still could be because of my edit though, so I guess I'll let you guys take a look at it just to be sure. Perhaps you fixed it already. - Jerodast (talk) 08:09, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Sidebar & Other Graphical Improvements

Hi Pcj,
Congrats on the move and a new shiny Vector skin.
If you are wondering how to have a 100% customisable sidebar with minimal fuss, Aionopedia uses an extensions named CustomNavBlocks or sumthing like that.
Also for the edit article box that in typing this in, you may want to consider using the UsabilityInitiative until they have a easily plug-in for CKEditor.
If you want sum help with customising the Vector skin i know it very well and more than help you out. Aionopedia Bohtauri (talk) 13:44, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Not particularly interested, thanks. --Pcj (T•C) 13:44, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Wikia reference in DNP policy

Hiya! Just randomly trawling around the new site (love it, btw), and came across a reference to Wikia's ToU (and a broken link, to boot). Specifically, in the [DNP Policy] article. I'm not sure where that link really should point, and it's an important enough part of the policies that I really don't want to get it wrong. So, the next best option seems to be "alert an admin". Well, consider yourself alerted. :) --PaxArcana (talk) 04:57, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

ru.wow.wikia.com -> www.wowpedia.ru

Please modify interwiki links. We did it on www.wowpedia.ru. Thx. Strizh (talk) 13:22, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Will do, most of the Curse staff is busy with Blizzcon atm so it may be next week. --Pcj (T•C) 13:23, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

OK, now it's done. There seems to be some sort of hidden "job queue" while it goes through all the pages. --Pcj (T•C) 03:36, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

User Account Migration

Hi there. Just following up on this discussion, where foxlit mentioned some Perl scripts you used to import user accounts. I was just wondering if you could let me know how this worked, and what you used? Many thanks Adam (talk) 11:27, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Multiple File Upload Page Broken

Recieve the following error with both FireFox and IE

Fatal error: Call to undefined method UploadForm::UploadForm() in /home/wowpedia/public_html/extensions/MultiUpload/SpecialMultipleUpload.body.php on line 72

Posted it here Forum:Multiple Upload Page Error But was unsure if in the chaos of the move it may simply have been overlooked.

Please advise. Ariule (talk) 01:26, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

e-mail validation not working

Hey there, since you "pulled" me over, I thought I'd make it your problem :p
Taking over my account here worked fine, except setting my e-mail address seems to cause some troubles => I don't receive the validation e-mail. Now I don't know whether gmail blocks it or wowpedia does not send it, but I just checked the spam to be sure. So maybe there's a problem with the mailserver setup? -watchou T 02:25, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

great, a classic. Just tried again and this time it worked... So everything's fine the prim is back -watchou T 02:28, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Nice. :) --Pcj (T•C) 02:29, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Nested sidebar site navigation

Item template is causing infinite loop

I tried to use that template in Patch_4.0.3_(undocumented_changes) but why does it cause an infinite loop? In User:Hans_Kamp/Test and here it doesn't: [Peacebloom]. Please try to fix it. Then I will see what changes you made to prevent the loop. Hans Kamp (talk) 06:34, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

This was caused because of the missing of the tooltip of Justice point. The tooltip is placed at the left. That needs yet to be fixed. I wonder how you will fix it, because copying the text of the article to a new one places the tooltip to the left for reasons, not known by me. Hans Kamp (talk) 07:13, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Fixed it myself. The name parameter of {{tooltip}} must be exactly the same (case sensitive) as the article name. Hans Kamp (talk) 07:50, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
