[[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] ([[User talk:Nicjansma|talk]]) 21:00, 29 January 2017 (EST) − : Hello, Livewire. I am reasonably sure that if the character is canon (I don't have #12 yet), they will be added in some fashion. However, if you want to prime the pump a bit, and are not familiar with wikis, I'd recommend opening a similar character (maybe from an earlier ''Guide'') and starting an article named [[Rebecca Taylor]], copying all the stuff (text & code) over into the new article, changing everything that doesn't pertain and adding what is needed. Some other Editor will be sure to follow behind and correct any mistakes or add needed info. Good luck, and I'll be looking for the article (and the ''Guide'').--[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 21:21, 12 May 2021 (EDT)+ == MechWarrior V link inclusion == + Hello Nic, can you add the link to the MechWarrior V: Mercenaries?--[[User:ManganMan|ManganMan]] ([[User talk:ManganMan|talk]]) 09:28, 5 December 2016 (PST) + : Good idea, added! [[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] ([[User talk:Nicjansma|talk]]) 20:56, 29 January 2017 (EST) − : Update: [https://www.sarna.net/wiki/index.php?title=List_of_Clan_Invasion_Kickstarter_Characters&diff=prev&oldid=676150 The process has started], Livewire, thanks to [[User:Dmon|Dmon]].--[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 22:07, 12 May 2021 (EDT)+ == Linking/Merging IPs to users == + Hi Nic, I've been wondering: Is it technically possible to link changes made by an unregistered IP to a given user? This would obviously require bureaucrat or at least admin level privileges to avoid abuse, but it is possible? − == Potential issue in File:Götterdämmerung (system) 3151.svg ==+ The reason I'm asking is a new but prolific user who forgot to log in occasionally, creating a series of edits that registered under his IP but not his registered user name. I was wondering if I could (and should) somehow edit the edit logs to link the edits to his user account instead of that IP adress. Is that even desirable? [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 00:59, 9 January 2017 (PST) − Hi Nik,+ : Frabby, I've looked into this a bit, but I haven't found any way of doing this. If you can find a MediaWiki extension that might help out, we can take a look. I think it would be a good option to have -- there may be some users who forget to log in, and would like the "credit" for their edits later. [[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] ([[User talk:Nicjansma|talk]]) 21:03, 29 January 2017 (EST) − While reviwing images without category, I found out this one File:Götterdämmerung (system) 3151.svg, which had no category nor information unlike the rest. I remember you have the "macro" that creates them and prepares them and adds a category because I asked this to help clean the [https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Special:UncategorizedFiles "Uncategorized Files"] page. No idea why this one got nuts. I added the information. Maybe it is because of the nice german spelling, but it is not the only planet like this. Hope you can review and thanks in advance!--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 08:23, 5 November 2021 (EDT)+ == Problem with Categories == − : Perfect thanks! I had to hand-upload that file, because the umlaut caused issues with the initial batch. I think the rest were OK. Appreciate you added the category! [[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] ([[User talk:Nicjansma|talk]]) 21:07, 8 November 2021 (EST) + Hi Nic, can you take a look at the article for the DropShip ''[[Stonehenge]]'' please. The article has category links for three categories, all of which are duly listed at the bottom of the article. Problem is, the article doesn't appear in any of the categories when you click on them. Problem with the latest update perhaps? (The article was written after the update.) [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 04:34, 17 January 2017 (EST) − :: No problem. Thanks to you for the macro and all other things you do for this page!--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 11:04, 9 November 2021 (EST) + :I've also noticed that with the planets articles, the categories generated by the Planets Project header template aren't changing when the article phase changes - articles updated from phase 2 to phase 5 are still displaying as being in the phase 2 category listing. [[User:BrokenMnemonic|BrokenMnemonic]] ([[User talk:BrokenMnemonic|talk]]) 06:21, 19 January 2017 (EST) + ::As far as the ''Stonehenge'' is concerned, it does now show up in its categories. I guess the categories don't update immediately, but rather once a day or so? [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 07:50, 19 January 2017 (EST) + :::This may have been broken for a while, but I believe it's working now. I've tested it with a few categories. Please note, it may take up to 1 minute for a new or updated article to get added to a Category page (before now, it may have taken up to 5 minutes). BrokenMnemonic, I've also checked a few Planets updates and they look correct now. Please let me know if you see any issues. [[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] ([[User talk:Nicjansma|talk]]) + ::::In the case of ''Stonehenge'' the categories hadn't updated after 14 hours, or I wouldn't have posted this problem report. It was not until about two and a half days later that I saw they had updated, though I can't tell when in the 14-65 hour timeframe it happened. Definitely not a matter of minutes though. I take it that it's working now, and will report back if it happens again. Thanks Nic. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 01:28, 30 January 2017 (EST) + ::::Something is definitely still up with the planets. I updated the articles for [[Esteros]] and [[Esztergom]] about 2 weeks ago, changing the project planets category from 2 to 5 in the process; when you look at the articles, they show up as being in [[:Category:PPO_Phase_5]], but if you look at the category listing for phase 2 ([[:Category:PPO_Phase_2]]) they're both still listed there. [[User:BrokenMnemonic|BrokenMnemonic]] ([[User talk:BrokenMnemonic|talk]]) 04:32, 30 January 2017 (EST) + :::::Good find.

This situation has led me to believe that the internal error is from the drop ship template. Pleas fix this. − Hi Nik, I've seen that the file with only have this category: [[:Category:Missing copyright information]] do not appear as Uncategorized... unfortunately, there are a lot of files with miss this but also other information and it is quite complex to find which ones only have the missing copyright... as those ones are missing some category else...

[[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] ([[User talk:Nicjansma|talk]]) 14:59, 17 January 2022 (EST) + Calebmccormick − ::Yes Nick, that it is. I want to see which images are missing a real category as missing copyright is a "commonplace" not a category for me. It is good to know they are missing copyright, but for me it is even more to know which ones are missing a place like being an image of a Free Worlds League character...--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 05:07, 19 January 2022 (EST)+ : Sorry about that, should be fixed now!

Adding it to [[User:Talvin/Project_Orphanage#Technical_Pages]] shows it as a red link, and it does not disappear from the Orphans when that cache refreshes overnight. This is hardly a showstopper bug or even close, but it's odd. [[User:Talvin|Talvin]] ([[User talk:Talvin|talk]]) 10:57, 27 February 2022 (EST)+ : All set now! [[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] ([[User talk:Nicjansma|talk]]) 20:44, 29 January 2017 (EST) − : Strange, I couldn't find any way to make it disappear either. Must be a side-effect of it being a LUA module. Since it's not affecting anything else (that I can tell) I'll leave it for now, but if there's a pattern of this happening I can dig into it more. Thanks for bringing to my attention! [[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] ([[User talk:Nicjansma|talk]]) 22:26, 22 June 2022 (EDT) − == Looks like a Bug. == + == Edit Counter == − [[:Category:Spanish language products]] is a double redirect, and it looks like it is locked up in the change propagation process since 26 March 2022. It appears to need deletion.--[[User:Talvin|Talvin]] ([[User talk:Talvin|talk]]) 10:15, 14 June 2022 (EDT)+ Nic - Do you know when the Edit Counter list updates? This one? [[Special:UserScore|Edit Counter]] Thanks. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ([[User talk:ClanWolverine101|talk]]) 16:56, 6 March 2017 (EST) − : Thanks.
