== MediaWiki Upgrade 1.15.0 -> 1.18.0 (December 16, 2011) ==
+
==Rebecca "Spreadsheet" Taylor==
Friday December 16, 2011 at approx 12pm PDT, I will be upgrading MediaWiki from version 1.15.0 to 1.18.0. The update will bring two years worth of better security, performance and features.  I have tested the update (which required a few fixes to our extensions and skins), but you never know what will go wrong.  Additionally, after the upgrade, I will be looking into better SPAM protection for the wiki. If you see anything out of place, please let me know. [[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] 01:09, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Excuse me Nic, never done this before, but how do I get Rebecca "Spreadsheet" Taylor added to the Canon character's page? She's my late fiance and in Rec guide 12 [[User:Livewire2112|Livewire2112]] ([[User talk:Livewire2112|talk]]) 21:14, 12 May 2021 (EDT)
  
As of noon today, we are running MediaWiki 1.18.0.  I've noticed a couple things off, here's what I'm working on fixing:

: 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)

# The sidebar on the left (that contains Background, Downloads, Official Game Systems, etc), come and go.  An edit to [[Mediawiki:Sidebar]] fixes this (even a no-op edit). ( '''Intermittent/Ongoing as of  2011-11-16''')
 
# Special:UserScore doesn't seem to be compatible (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpecialUserScore) ('''No known workaround as of 2011-11-16''')
 
# <strike>The Edit Bar does not show on editing pages.</strike> ('''Fixed: 2011-11-17''')
 
# <strike>Clicking on an Advanced Template was not doing anything.</strike> ('''Fixed: 2011-11-17''')

===Edit bar===

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.

Nic, I don't know if you intended to add an additional reCaptcha check when URLs are added/edited, but if so, its not working right now (at least for me). -[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 04:20, 17 December 2011 (PST)
