:::::Hmm, I think I remember fixing this a few months ago actually (purge cache on file upload).

::::::Clearing the cache on file upload should solve this, but I haven't tried it myself. I was just noticing that several of the duplicate images were in replacement images files (sometimes several times) before the duplicate images were published, so that's the conclusion I came to.

== Ace Attorney Trial MWException Error == | |||
A few days ago, all of the Trial walkthrough pages for the Ace Attorney Series started displaying the error message "Fatal exception of type MWException" instead of the page. This happened fairly recently (Within a week or so ago) and I'm not sure what's causing it, and I'm also not quite sure where to post about this, considering that a bunch of pages are broken.

:Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention, this is absolutely the right place to post this kind of thing. We will be looking into it immediately and try to fix it as quickly as possible. We'll keep you posted.

::Thanks for pointing this out! There was a problem with our Scribunto extension that we use in quite a few places. It's fixed now, sorry about the inconvenience. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 01:37, 19 July 2015 (UTC) | |||
::: The Pages still display the error unless another edit is saved, is there some way to fix this or should I just do an edit to the pages as I go through them? Edit: Never mind, it fixed itself. [[User:Hafo|Hafo]] ([[User talk:Hafo|talk]]) 04:43, 20 July 2015 (UTC) | |||
:::: I'm still getting this error on all Ace Attorney (and related) pages. Is there any fix that I can do at my end? | |||
:::::Hmm, it should have been automatic. I'll try another server side cache purge and hopefully that'll fix it. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 19:07, 25 July 2015 (UTC) | |||
== Independent games scope discussion == | |||
I've started a discussion about [[Talk:Super Mario 63#Move off strategywiki|moving Super Mario 63]] off strategywiki. This hits at the heart of our scope discussions. One of the big previous discussions was [[StrategyWiki:Staff lounge/2009/October#Why exactly does this site have fan games listed?|here]], but I think it's time for a fresh discussion. | |||
I feel that games like [[Super Mario 63]] and [[Mario Adventure]], or even the whole [[:Category:ROM hacks]], shouldn't fall within our scope. Mario Adventure is probably one of the most famous, but I was still having trouble finding a mention of it on any of the bigger video game news websites. Wikipedia also discussed [[wp:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mario Adventure|deletion]]. There are some websites which discuss this game (vintagecomputing.com, romhacking.net), but I don't think they can serve as reliable sources. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 03:04, 23 July 2015 (UTC) | |||
== Guide completion stage categories == | |||
How are guides assigned to these categories? I can't find a word about it in the [[SW:GUIDE]]. Are guides audited by a mechanism (bot, etc) or the admin on an ongoing basis? Or are users responsible for updating them (presumably on the honor system if so)? A couple guides I've added content to in order to flesh out are categorized as stage 0 when by now they're closer to 3.5. It'd make more sense if their categorizations more accurately reflect their present state. -- [[User:HighLeveller|HighLeveller]] ([[User talk:HighLeveller|talk]]) 07:14, 31 July 2015 (UTC) | |||
:Guide completion is determined by users, usually sysops but there's no hard rule about it. The exception to this is stage 5: Featured Guides, which has to go through a nomination and voting process. You can find criteria for completion stages [[StrategyWiki:Guide/Adding_more_information#Guide_completion_stages|here]]. If you want to change the completion status of the guide yourself, simply go to the main game page, then edit the "num" parameter of the Header Nav there according to the guide completion state you want.

::Test is correct, it's very much an honor system. Guide completion is very subjective and can't be calculated or determined by a bot. We trust the primary authors of each guide to make the most appropriate determination, although that can be overruled if it the error is blatant. Please feel free to update the "num" parameter in the Header Nav of the main page for your guide. Thanks for all your contributions.
