I know/remember we had some downtime, but I don't remember how long, sorry.

== Pokeball: Nice touch == | |||
Hey man, thumbs up on the image. I've been bitten by the Pokemon bug too, and I'm going to overhaul the Red/Blue/Yello walkthrough just as soon as I hammer out the Yellow "What's New" pages. I love getting more images to spice up this place, there are still too many text-only pages here, IMO...<br> | |||
P.S. The server was down from approximately 4:00 to 7:15 by my recollection. [[User:Procyon|Procyon]] 18:51, 8 February 2007 (CST) | |||
== "Return to gamename" links == | |||
Please stop putting them at the bottom of pages. They're non-standard, and not used anywhere else. We decided a while back to use templates such as {{t|Footer Nav}} instead of them. ;-) --[[User:DrBob|DrBob]] ([[User_talk:DrBob|Talk]]) 08:31, 13 February 2007 (CST) | |||
== Vandalism warnings == | |||
Dan, when warning people about vandalism, there's no need to write your own warning: we've already got {{t|vandalism warning}} and {{t|vandalism warning 2}} available. :-) --[[User:DrBob|DrBob]] ([[User_talk:DrBob|Talk]]) 09:46, 15 February 2007 (CST) | |||
== Potential significant change, could use input and later assistance. == | |||
I started a discussion on making a pretty substantial change to {{t|infobox}} and I thought I'd let you know about the discussion in case you were interested or wanted to help with the change if it was supported. [http://strategywiki.org/wiki/StrategyWiki_talk:Community_Portal#.7B.7BInfobox.7D.7D_auto-categorization link]. Oh, and if you know someone who would want to help out/discuss this who's talk page I didn't leave it on, if you could let them know, that'd be useful, thanks. -- [[User:Mason11987|Mason11987]] <sup>([[User talk:Mason11987|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Mason11987|Contributions]])</sup> 09:00, 16 February 2007 (CST) | |||
== Walkthrough == | |||
Our [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Walkthrough|main guide]] uses the picture and text method. Switching to something else should be brought up on first. Also, do you have any data about the walkthrough page being the most friendly, since [http://www.google.ca/search?q=pok%C3%A9mon+ruby%2Fsapphire+walkthrough+strategywiki a search] brings up the main page. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 11:57, 18 February 2007 (CST) | |||
== Sortable == | |||
Please see [[User talk:DrBob#Sortable|here]] (I'm on irc if you want to discuss). -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 22:42, 1 March 2007 (CST) | |||
== IRC == | |||
Can you come on irc for a few mins? -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 23:32, 30 March 2007 (CDT) | |||
:Thanks for the query.php fix, have a nice weekend as well :). -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 00:12, 31 March 2007 (CDT) | |||
== Installation request... == | |||
Hey Dan, do you think you might be able to install PostgreSQL on our server? That's what we're required to use for our final project in DB, and I'd like to deploy it on our server. (It might turn out useful...) <span style="border: 1px solid #888; padding: 1px">'''[[User:Echelon|<span style="color:#777;background-color:#eee;">ech</span>]][[User_talk:Echelon|<span style="color:#777;background-color:#eee;">elon</span>]]'''</span> 16:36, 19 April 2007 (CDT) | |||
== $wgAllowSlowParserFunctions == | |||
Could you enable $wgAllowSlowParserFunctions? It would allow the main page to have an accurate (and automated) count of guides at completion stage 4 (see [[StrategyWiki:Staff lounge#Main Page Completion no. and 100% guides questions|staff lounge]] and my [[User talk:Ryan Schmidt#IRC|talk page]] for reason/discussion). --[[User:Ryan Schmidt|Ryan Schmidt]]<sup>[[User talk:Ryan Schmidt|Talk]] [[User talk:Ryan Schmidt/blab|-]] [[Special:Contributions/Ryan Schmidt|Contribs]]</sup> 20:49, 28 April 2007 (CDT) | |||
:Hopefully, it won't (drain resources). I was hoping to modify one of the parser functions classified dependent on that value being enabled to count up the number of articles in a specific category (unless that is simply not doable, in which case, don't enable it). With a few things being modified beyond that, it should be relatively safe from crashing the server. --[[User:Ryan Schmidt|Ryan Schmidt]]<sup>[[User talk:Ryan Schmidt|Talk]] [[User talk:Ryan Schmidt/blab|-]] [[Special:Contributions/Ryan Schmidt|Contribs]]</sup> 15:11, 1 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
== Tag cloud extension == | |||
Please install [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryCloud this extension]. This and other such extensions could really help jazz up the Main Page (maybe something like [http://www.tabardag.com/Wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page this site's layout]), plus it appeals to Web 2.0 lovers. Thanks! [[User:Garrett|Garrett]]<sup>[[User talk:Garrett|Talk]]</sup> 05:53, 25 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
== ImageMap extension == | |||
Could you please update our ImageMap extension to the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap current version]? It has a few extra features that I need for [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]. Since the new version is just functionality updates, it should not affect the imagemaps already on the site in any way. --{{User:Ryan Schmidt/sig}} 13:17, 11 July 2007 (CDT) | |||
==Database Error== | |||
I just got this error, I thought you might like to know. | |||
<pre> | |||
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: | |||
(SQL query hidden) | |||
from within function "MediaWikiBagOStuff::_doquery". MySQL returned error "1205: Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction (localhost)".</pre>--<small>The preceding signed comment was added by [[User:Rocky|Rocky]] ([[User talk:Rocky|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Rocky|contribs]]).</small> 15:05, 28 December 2007 (CST) | |||
:This is just another effect of the overloaded server. It's trying to finish all the requests it gets, but some just wait too long for others to finish. Just refresh the page and it should be fine. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 15:42, 28 December 2007 (CST) | |||
