Freeing up Version template
For: ... I'm going to make copied versions: ... to free up that whole thing from its cascade restriction – the same idea as previously with ItemSprite, discussed.
 * , and Version
 * , and {{t|Version front page} }

It won't solve the issue with people clamoring for someone to update the front page, but it will help for updating, , and  (and probably a few others). – undefined/undefined 15:19, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * As an alternative to having two near-identical templates that have to be kept in sync, we could change the main page to directors-only protection. -- undefined 17:59, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * We could do that. We could also eliminate the front-page-template entirely by embedding the respective variables in the front page, I think. – undefined/undefined 19:16, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Because the front page was late being updated, I was researching how it worked when I ran across your updated Template:Version doc saying it wasn't used on the front page...yet it very clearly was in use there. Color me confused! I almost put a note on Majr's talk page in case it was by accident. So I'm guessing I caught it while you were in the middle of coordinated changes. If so, could you please leave a note here to say when you've completed it? Thanks! – ( &middot; ) 18:41, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * I forgot to mention: The front page still shows 1.1 in the Planned Versions table. I'm not sure who needs to update that. – ( &middot; ) 18:44, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Oh my, sorry for the confusion. – undefined/undefined 19:16, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure adding a separate template for that is a good idea given it is for the most part only used on the front page, and the other few places tend to be fine waiting a bit for the update. The front page gets the most questions waiting for the update anyways.
 * I think removing the cascading protection is a decent option, though an extra close watch on main page templates would have to be kept. – · 22:06, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Directly on the page are: Version, FrontPageLink, and.
 * Protection cascades further to:, , ,.
 * If cascade was removed, we could heighten permission on Template:FrontPageLink, module:FrontPageSprite and /IDs, and /edition and /style, and I think that's all. Then only other thing to keep track of would be Template:Version, Module:Version and Module:Version/Numbers. –  undefined/undefined 22:29, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Would a good idea be semi-protecting the remainder? From what I've seen so far here anonymous users don't make good edits to templates often, if they even get to them. -- 22:37, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * I doubt that creating a duplicate template for the front page will solve anything because most users who complain about updating the version numbers complain only because the version numbers on the front page aren't updated. And Module:Version front page/Numbers still would need to be edited by admins. | 08:30, 4 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Ideas so far:

To allow more people to update the versions on the front page, we could:
 * change the protection to directors.

And if we want to free up the Version template, instead of using a duplicate template, we could do one of two things:
 * remove cascade from the main page, raise the protections on other transcludes and semi-protect the version template, or
 * hard-code the variables in the page. (rendering the Version template mostly redundant)

Any thoughts? – undefined/undefined 15:48, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * We could have an edit copy for the template, which would be semi-protected and used on the edit copy for the main page. undefined 03:27, 5 June 2017 (UTC)


 * As far as I know, the only place where the current version numbers are actually used are the Edition pages (,, etc). Using hard-coded variables would make the template pretty much redundant, wouldn't it? |  09:39, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Bump. | 18:32, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I believe you are right about that. – undefined/undefined 18:50, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

CPU-intensive ads
Can we do something about the ads on the Wiki? Currently, the Minecraft Wiki imposes a heavier processor load than the Minecraft game itself! 20:15, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Someone needs to change the current version on the main page to 1.12, because it came out today. I don't have admin privileges so I can't.

Image cacheing
Can anything be done about the image caching taking the better part of a day to refresh? It seems to me that when you upload a new version of a file, that should be propagated out to all caches, but this doesn't happen. Is the length of time we wait totally necessary? Thanks for consideration, – undefined/undefined 21:04, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Bots not showing as bots

 * Bots don't get flagged as such automatically, and if no one requests a bot flag for them, chances are they'll go without. I've flagged Ffbot; if there are others which need the flag, please list them here and I'll flag them as well (this goes for the future as well). 「」· 05:22, 6 July 2017 (UTC)


 * (Also note that the bot flag doesn't apply retroactively: while future edits will be flagged as bot edits, edits which were made before the flag was added are still considered non-bot edits.) 「」· 05:23, 6 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Actually I have applied for the bot tag, while Majr rejected that.--  05:53, 6 July 2017 (UTC)


 * While he can (and should) correct me if I'm misinterpreting his intent, my reading of and the subsequent discussion was that the refusal was about having your bot do extra tasks, rather than having it flagged as a bot. 「」· 08:39, 6 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Also, if the request was rejected to get the bot right, the correct thing to do would be to not make contributions using the bot instead of making them without the tag. I cannot imagine any reason why he would want your bot to operate without the bot tag.
 * What exactly is the bots purpose anyways? Most of the contributions I have seen are useless whitespace changes or other tweaks that do not affect the final rendered page. Both of these things are normally fine to do as general fixes while performing other actions but are rather pointless on their own. – · 00:02, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Almost every URL shortener is prohibited here, as there is no reason to use them. Saving a couple of characters does not make any significant difference, and they hide the true destination of links. -- undefined 10:36, 27 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Can youtu.be in particular be reconsidered? From what I'm aware, youtu.be never links to anything except a YouTube video, and the part after the slash is the video ID - the same ID used by the full link. Even if it is not unblocked, it is YouTube's default method of sharing a link to a YouTube video, so it will continue to cause confusion. If it isn't removed from the spam filter, then can the spam filter warning be changed to explain that URL shorteners are blocked, and maybe link to this noticeboard or elsewhere with the reasoning and how to get the full URL?  03:51, 3 September 2017 (UTC)


 * While I will agree its Youtube's default method of sharing, we really have no reason to make an exception here, especially since it just adds one more way to link the videos which will certainly cause a disagreement over consistency in the future. If needed, you can always type video ID if the fewer characters are so important. – · 19:03, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

 * And has not edited for three years. undefined 21:54, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * The current activity of four administrators (,, and , although the latter went missing for 4 days except yesterday) doesn’t pose any problems. But, if a new admin is ever required, I would directly go for assigning  as the most fitting user for this role.
 * And, for the sake of interest, I will say how Russian wiki has solved the problem of inactive admins in the last 3.5 years (if you’re not interested, skip this paragraph). In the last 2013, most of the Russian administration’s veteran members (led by ) practically disappeared, leaving only one administrator with somewhat stable activity (that is, then still known as GreenStone). Four admins experienced some periodic activity since then (SYSanin235, Shahter40, Bloodhit and Atributz, and also Norrius, a former admin who was resigned in 2013 by his own request); they all went inactive, with the exception of Atributz, who returned in early 2015 and, after some inactivity, in recent months. was appointed via his own request by  in December 2013 (apparently when AttemptToCallNil went inactive for a short time), right now he is periodically active. AttemptToCallNil was later granted bureaucrat rights in July 2014. After Ivan-r, four new administrators were appointed by the new bureaucrat:  (January 2015),  (January 2017, after a two-year hiatus; both on my suggestion) and, on last July,  and me. Last month AttemptToCallNil initiated an unusual procedure: he chose eight candidates (one was later discarded immediately as an unreliable one) for administrator status, and opened votes for them. The result was appointment of the two last administrators. And now, at <s title="Corrected by author on 14:41, 14 August 2017 (UTC)">four five continuously active and two partially active administrators, Russian administration is probably the largest on Minecraft Wiki.
 * Anyway, back to the English wiki. The wiki’s policy states that

"Administrative rights are given to users based on them making exceptional contributions to the wiki, rather than by request. An exception is on other languages of the Minecraft Wiki which have few or no admins, in which case a request is likely to be accepted."


 * This point of view is far from being implemented practically. By this point of view, KnightMiner should be already appointed an administrator by Majr or Dinoguy1000 without any request, but he isn’t, and any request for appointing KnightMiner would be rejected based on this policy, even if he is a good candidate for this. Also, the last administrator was appointed on April 2014 (that was Goandgoo), which makes the current administration seem a little bit old, unlike the Russian wiki’s administration, which has four new members assigned since that period, with one in 2015 and, after two years, a record number of three in 2017.
 * In short: I’m neutral on this topic, but leaning towards appointing KnightMiner, and also changing the policy. —  ( | ru.Wiki Admin) (fka NickTheRed37) 14:51, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Side note: I'm surprised how many inactive admins on the Russian wiki actually still have their rights. On the German wiki, an admin is asked to retire if they are inactive for a few months. (See . The actual founders of the wiki still have their rights, and Oliver Scholz is still involved with the wiki although he doesn't edit regularily.) Also,

"and, although the latter went missing for 4 days except yesterday"


 * What's wrong with being away for four days? | 15:22, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Nothing is wrong. It is unusual to be active every day.
 * BabylonAS@undefined I would support giving administrative rights to . undefined 16:33, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I would hardly describe my inactivity as "going missing"; I can still be reached via my talk page here, email, or on Discord for those who want to look me up there. Other than that, I make no particular effort to maintain any particular level of activity here, both because generally I only edit when I notice something needs fixed or want to reply in a discussion, and because I have to fight with internet connectivity issues on my laptop that make wiki editing far more of a pain than it should be.
 * I've stated in the past that I have no problem with promoting users to admin by community request, in spite of the guidance on MCW:Directors, since that guidance is quite old (though of course, Gamepedia staff would have final say on whether that policy should still be enforced, and I'd abide by their decision in that case). Similarly I wouldn't be opposed to demoting inactive admins after a suitable period of time (I'd default to one year with no edits or log actions performed), assuming notice has been given to the editor and a week or so provided for them to view and respond if they wish.

 * I'm not entirely sure we need more administrators as well. Sure, we have several inactive admins, but that has been the case for awhile without the current ones being overwhelmed to my knowledge. I don't see the need of appointing admins simply to have more admins at this current time. Instead, I'd focus on if a user frequently makes contributions that would benefit from those rights.
 * On the topic of me being an administrator, while I would not be opposed to being appointed and I have had uses for the rights in the past, I am not sure how beneficial it would be at this moment. Most of what I'd do with the rights is technical stuff which is pretty well covered by Majr or Dinoguy already, both of whom are a bit more active than I am as well. – · 23:51, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Small edit war over Pocket Edition 1.1.6
There seems to be a minor edit war developing over whether there is a Pocket Edition 1.1.6 update. In an I had with user, he reported that this update number was used in a special Store panel (picture) shown only to Chinese users. (The notice reportedly informs them that they will not receive the 1.2 or later updates in China.) This is apparently the notice mentioned in the August 17 Content Update changelog, which carries no update version number. I'm told the 1.1.6 version number does not appear on the main menu in China and there doesn't seem to be any evidence of it in the usual authoritative sources. Certain users have attempted to create a for 1.1.6 and link it into the, while other users have attempted to undo the link and mark the page for deletion. As a result, these pages are pingponging without discussion toward reaching a consensus.

The main problem is the August 17 Content Update changelog. It has no version number because it only updates Marketplace items; there was no change to the game. Someone said this was made possible by the 1.1.5 update making the Marketplace content purely data-driven, specifically so that new Marketplace offerings could be released between game updates. We haven't seen a purely content update before and therefore have no consensus on how—or even whether—to document it in the wiki. I think it's likely these updates will happen very frequently, so documenting them would be a burdensome task. Not only that, it would be uncomfortably close to advertising since these are content products being sold by third parties. I believe it would be helpful for the admins to weigh in on this question, and that it would put an end to the budding edit war. --– ( &middot; ) 09:03, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Link to profanity and obscenity
In this edit, added a link to a Hastebin copy of the file Minecraft (Bedrock) 1.2 uses to censor words in chat. I felt it was inappropriate (sensitive kids might follow the link, vandals might cite it as a license to make similar links), unnecessary (since when do we link to updated program files from our history pages?), and a possible a violation of Gamepedia's TOS (indirectly adding profanity and obscenity, linking to material that violates copyright). When I removed it, Oldosfan reverted it with the edit summary "If something is a gray area, it stays up until told to go down *by the admins*". I don't think there's any such rule, and authorizes what I did. Am I wrong? And secondly, should the link should stay? --– ( &middot; ) 14:11, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

"User page" navigation button redirects to the "Profile" page while NOT viewing UserProfile namespace
When you're on your own User talk page or the User page itself, the left navigation button for "User page" redirects you to your "Profile" page. I expect that the User namespace is set to automatically redirect to the UserProfile one, which I understand, but the navigation buttons should not redirect because the profile already has its own navigation button and it would be misleading. The "Profile" button currently targets  which is correct. The "User page" button should be changed to target, instead of   as it is being redirected to a different page than it claims. This only applies while you're not viewing the UserProfile namespace itself however. Because the "User page" button will only correctly lead to the actual user page, when viewed from the page it is redirecting to. It's not really much of an issue, but it is a bit misleading and I guess it requires an administrator level to fix. What do you guys think about this? 13:39, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Change "Page Type" under "Public Profile" in your . -- 14:03, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Either your default user page is a user profile or user wiki; it does not vary depending on how you get there, unless you manually put  or   in a link. However, the links in the sidebar cannot be edited. undefined 14:24, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't know if you understood my problem or not, but it's not true what you're stating, Blobs. It does vary, as that's exactly the issue, or are you trying to say that you cannot reproduce it? The links in the sidebar have nothing to do with the navigation buttons as far as I'm aware. The default user page can indeed be either my profile or wiki page, but that was already said/implied. As a resolve I've already set my user page as the default one over my profile, so this is not an issue anymore for me in this setting, but I'm still wondering whether the issue will still be considered under the other one.  12:46, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Ah, how I miss editing this wiki sometimes. It's been a long time.
 * In one of my fly-by checks on the Herobrine page, of which I still feel quite proud of facilitating and check every few months or so, I saw this change. I do not understand why this "MHF_Herobrine" user is being considered canon for Herobrine appearances. all appearances during the stream, the creepypasta and Mojang adoptions feature the beard. I argue the beard is the canon skin, not "MHF_Herobrine"'s version of the skin. Therefore, I have reverted the skin.
 * If this "MHF_Herobrine" is really important, I would suggest adding a section about the alternate skin, creating a "skin swatcher" of sorta a-la Here, or making it an animated gif. But canonically, Herobrine does have a beard, and always has.
 * I'll go back to trying to sort out this twitch account merge thing now. That's the main reason I've come back for just a short while.
 * Edit: I have since been made aware that MHF is an official Mojang skin pool of sorts. While I now better understand the change and reasoning for it, it should be noted that Mojang are not the creators of the Herobrine hoax and all origin skins show the beard, as well as legacy promo material.
 * I continue to affirm that the legacy skin is canon, and further believe that the Mojang team don't really have a right to change the canon of Herobrine's appearance canonically, especially due to the repeated denouncing of any future plans to add him in-game. But it most certainly would be relevant for a trivia or smaller section on the page, with the newer skin included as an image.--<font color="blue" style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #00FF00;"> 01:44, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Minecraft Wiki broken

 * Can confirm this problem on the Russian wiki. The error occurs even on pages not in somebody’s own watchlist. Edits not being registered in the recent changes creates a good opportunity for malicious edits not being seen (in fact, I have discovered such an edit on the Russian wiki while browsing last revisions). But, at least, the edits are still shown in pages’ histories. —  ( | ru.Wiki Admin) (fka NickTheRed37) 11:43, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Now that the user is blocked for a month, I went through some of their contributions, and I have a lot of doubts about their content. Should some of their work be reverted/changed back? Some stuff has gone down in their respective page's history already, and I'm not sure what edit is or isn't acceptable. For instance, their [//minecraft.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Creeper&diff=prev&oldid=1162213 Creeper edit] which is its latest, seems to hide the fact they removed information (the XP drop) by re-arranging the drops into a bulleted list. I kindof want to revert it, but he did the same bulleted list to the page (not removing XP drops that time) but [//minecraft.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Blaze&diff=1158158&oldid=1157198 that edit] was a month ago already. I notice some aggressive mob pages have a bulleted list and some don't, but on these two pages I feel it isn't needed. And I could argue about their other contributions too, but I'm not experienced enough yet on this wiki to decide which change/edit is or isn't right. –  ( • • ) 13:32, 7 November 2017 (UTC)


 * A couple of users, including myself, have been trying to keep a close eye on all their edits but I'm unsure if we caught everything. Regarding the Mob drop edits: I hate inconsistency without a proper reason, so I would say it's all or nothing. -- 13:38, 7 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I don't like inconsistency either. I think it could work to allow a piece of content to become bulleted if; A) the items can be systematically summarized if that makes it easier to read, B) the unbulleted paragraph of text would otherwise become too much information all over the place, C) there are enough items to make a reasonable list of over 3 items, and D) there are not too many items and bits of information in each that would be better placed in a table. As my own rule of thumb for such a thing. Because lists are not always the best solution on a wiki, we don't want everything in lists, but for some occasions it may be unavoidable.


 * ... But regarding this user, one of such edits that I have doubts on, is the [//minecraft.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Spider&diff=prev&oldid=1162197 latest Spider] one. Where did they get those chance numbers from for instance? Or what about the move of the pages, were those good moves? Do you need my help with any verification or anything else? Or is everything OK for now and move on? –  ( • • ) 14:03, 7 November 2017 (UTC)


 * The chances were already on the page before the edit, the user just rearranged the information that was already there. The redirect change was also fine, before it was a double redirect and that should always be prevented. -- 14:11, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Permissions problem on the profile since PRO activated
I was just messing about with my Echo badges in my stylesheet, then I changed the setting to "Show talk page message indicator in my toolbar" (unchecked it) and hit save preferences, and suddenly I became a PRO user according to my profile page (and my signature here while previewing). Then I could not use the comment system anymore on the profile pages, not even on my own, as it now warns me I have no permissions for that (anymore!). I tried reconfirming my email address as suggested, but that didn't change anything. I also now get a supposed warning message when I try to change that setting from before, and although it does save, the warning says I cannot edit this profile without email verification. I don't even know what this setting does, hence why I tried it in the first place. Also, I checked my gamepedia account page, and it does state I have an active PRO status, which expires 2/7/2018. I don't have exactly 1k wikipoints yet, so I can't think of any reason why this automatically would have happened. When/how do you get PRO status, and is that status possibly the reason why I "lost" my commenting permission? – ( • • ) 23:59, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
 * It's a known issue about comments not currently working properly, and should be fixed sometime in the next day or so. It's entirely unrelated to Gamepedia Pro status being given.  06:27, 8 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks. But, then there are multiple problems. All my emails broke at the same time, apparently. I do not get any email from the watchlist for instance, because it is complaining about that confirmation thingy. In my profile preferences, on the profile itself, and possibly in more places. When I visit the confirmation special page from the link in those warnings, it says . But I already clicked the link from the referred-to email. So why is my account complaining about my email address confirmation, and is the confirmation not working? This makes it very hard for me to keep track of everything as I don't get notified anymore. –  ( • • ) 09:15, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Communityportal messed up navigation (mediawiki related, not edit history)
For some reason the wiki page of the community portal has messed up the mediawiki navigation elements. The div#mw-navigation is suddenly inside the div#content, where normally it should be its sibling. The navigation appears in the same place as the page content, making it invisible to read and overlapping stuff that it shouldn't. It's got nothing to do with the page's edit history, as its last edit did not have this problem before and currently viewing a previous revision does not have any effect. Also, an edit could not have caused an HTML element to have moved into one of its siblings like this. This problem happened after the move to the new host. – ( • • ) 08:42, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

This user keeps on creating and linking to pages that are not released nor even announced yet, after many reverts from various editors. They have already been blocked before, twice, for vandalism and spam, for 3 days and 7 days respectively, in the last two weeks (!). This user apparently does not understand how to behave, and I vote for an even longer block or 'third-strike' action or something, please. – [ <span class="gamepedia_pro_user">Jack McKalling ] [   ] 22:54, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

This page for a non-existent snapshot has been in a perpetual edit war, in which IPs are constantly removing the deletion request and re-adding false information. Looking to place a more formal request here so we don't need to constantly re-add the request to the page and remove incorrect facts from the page. 23:03, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

The page is also affected, I keep reverting both but to really stop this a higher power needs to step in. – [ <span class="gamepedia_pro_user">Jack McKalling ] [   ] 23:11, 14 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Blocked the IP and deleted+salted 1.13-pre1. I've been keeping an eye on that IP, guess I should've checked their block log sooner. 「」· 23:36, 14 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Why restrict creation to only administrators? Things might get problematic when the actual 1.13 prerelease comes out. Wouldn't it make sense to change protection settings to allow autoconfirmed users? -  23:53, 14 December 2017 (UTC)


 * We have no evidence to suggest we're anywhere near seeing the 1.13 prerelease UIAM. If it does come out in the near future, though, any administrator can unprotect the page. 「」· 01:02, 15 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Also, the issue continues now on IP at the  page. – [ <span class="gamepedia_pro_user">Jack McKalling ] [    ] 00:17, 15 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I've just semiprotected that page; that's the only edit that IP has done so far, so blocking is an overreaction IMO. 「」· 01:02, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

is expecting the wrong result from { {filepath:}} (solved)
This template expects the string returned from { {filepath:}} to be a URL that starts with:


 * (example). But instead, the filepath returns this:


 * (equivalent example).

Which is shorter, and consequently causes the template's string logic to strip the  part out of the URL, as a net result after it processed. This incapacitates visibly on both its own page as well as on the transcluding. You can see the effect because the image from above examples is not visible on those pages. Inspecting the page shows the evidence of the stripped URL:


 * . Notice the double slash before the file basename.

I don't know why { {filepath:}} gives this external URL, and I don't know why both URLs function correctly. Maybe one of them is intended to redirect to the other. But before looking into fixing the logic of the template, does anyone know exactly where the fault lies? I suspect one of the URLs might be outdated. – [ <span class="gamepedia_pro_user">Jack McKalling ] [   ] 20:32, 19 December 2017 (UTC)


 * In this case, it doesn't really matter what's going on with the URLs; since the template was using the wrong URL in its logic, it would always return the wrong value, unless that URL just happened to match the length of the correct URL. I've changed the URL to a more automatic method that should resist future changes in Gamepedia's file hosting method, unless they change or do away with the  part of the file path. 「」· 10:03, 20 December 2017 (UTC)


 * To me the URL did matter, as I couldn't tell which was the wrong one. But I guess you indeed don't have to know if you compare the same URL with itself like you did. This is exactly the kind of dynamic fix I was hoping for. So thank you, it works :) – [ <span class="gamepedia_pro_user">Jack McKalling ] [   ] 10:19, 20 December 2017 (UTC)


 * For some reason, the updated template does not work on the Russian wiki if the size parameter is provided or if the file name contains non-Latin characters, test cases . The URLs look valid, but show a "Could not load the image" error if inspected via Firefox Developer Tools. -- 11:04, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I believe that size parameter is only good for SVG files, as the outputted format looks like that. – [ <span class="gamepedia_pro_user">Jack McKalling ] [   ] 11:15, 20 December 2017 (UTC)


 * on this wiki is using the size parameter on a PNG image. Used to work a few moments ago, doesn't work now. -- 11:20, 20 December 2017 (UTC)


 * It's because still had a hardcoded URL. I've removed it, which also allowed removing the whole stripping portion of the logic from FileUrl; there's no reason I'm aware of not to just use the URL returned by   directly (well, the   does have to be stripped and then re-added in the widget, since otherwise the colon gets escaped as   which breaks the value at least in Chrome, but it's still a far simpler and more robust solution than the previous version). Try updating  and  and see if the examples on the page work. 「」· 11:25, 20 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Updated the Russian wiki template and widget. Still does not work for files with non-Latin characters in names, probably due to these characters being percent-encoded. -- 11:28, 20 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Try updating the template and widget again. I'm not 100% sure it will work, since the documentation for the feature I used suggests it won't work with Unicode URLs, though the way it's worded also suggests that's limited specifically to internationalized domain names. 「」· 11:43, 20 December 2017 (UTC)


 * All four test cases work now. Thank you for your assistance. -- 11:46, 20 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Guess it works now. – undefined 11:23, 20 December 2017 (UTC)


 * So as it turns out, one component of the security concerns was with allowing arbitrarily-hosted files to be linked to. We can still use the auto-detection for the details of the upload URL in the template, but it will have to be hardcoded in the widget, at least for the foreseeable future. As for the Unicode filename problem this reintroduced, I just didn't look closely enough at the actual URLs being served in the CSS; as it turns out, they were being double-encoded: first by, and then a second time by  , which escaped the percent signs to  . The solution, then, is  , which reverses the first round of escaping. 「」· 12:09, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
