Minecraft Wiki:Gamepedia migration issues

__NEWSECTIONLINK__ Gamepedia issues

Have you found a problem since the migration? Have problems with your username?

Report it here

'''We will be addressing individual user merge issues next week. Sorry for the delay, but we are working on the mass problems first.'''

KNOWN ISSUES
Please read this before posting your issue
 * Broken userpages
 * Something went awry with our usermerge script. Our dev team is working on a solution. In the meantime, DO NOT edit your userpage (old or new) as this will create problems when they do try to fix it. This should be fixed on the English, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian wikis. If you still have issues with your userpages not appearing correctly, post it on this page and it will be addressed on an individual level.


 * Broken articles
 * If you find an article that gives you the error "The database did not find the text of a page that it should have found,..." simply click on Edit and then save the page. This should fix it.



Account Migration issues
Today I received an Email from noreply@curse.com saying my account failed to automatically migrate to Curse's central system due to a naming conflict, and my account was renamed. I was told that the next time I log in I would be asked to claim an existing account or choose a new name. However, I cannot remember my password, and the password reset system says my Email Address is not in the database. It clearly IS in the database, or I wouldn't have received the Email. I also suspect that creating a new account will cause both another naming conflict and an Email Address conflict. At least it would be, if I could get past an error message when creating a new account that simply says " &lt;asirra-edit&gt; ." In fact, asirra-edit seems to be a common theme on account creation/login pages.
 * Odd. I got an email from them saying my account was merged successfully, mainly because I manually merged it as soon as it was migrated to the new Gamepedia platform. --KamranMackey (talk) 19:07, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately Kamran, you merged in TOO early, and it created problems. We will be working on resolving the issue starting Monday morning (Central US time). -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  05:56, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Edits
I have noticed that on the development versions page, new edits are not showing up, even by registered users, not sure if this is happening on other pages, but it moght. --75.18.40.239 12:38, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Usernames
Says that my old username, "Mavik", is no longer available, yet there is no user with that name. Bug?

Mavik73724 (talk) 10:32, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Someone must already have the username Mavik on Curse.com. I will forward this to our Community Liaison and he will assist you in getting this resolved. -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  10:36, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Are you sure this isn't like the problem I had above, where numbers get put randomly into the name? Numbermaniac (talk) 11:25, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

It gave me the numbers when it said that my username was already taken.

Mavik73724 (talk) 19:53, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * At that point you should have been given an option to choose a different username and a display name and it would have created a new Curse account for you (without all the numbers). That is what we need to address.  Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  20:36, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

So can you do anything for me?

Mavik73724 (talk) 00:51, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, if you see the note at the top, we are going to address individual user name issues next week (sorry, I need the help of the guys who have direct server access for it, and they are off for the weekend). I'm sorry for the delay. -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  02:02, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Alright, thank you

Can't log in
Primary686 here. I can't login either, but I can't even get to the login PAGE. Instead, this comes up:

The type initializer for &#39;Curse.Auth.NetworkService&#39; threw an exception. ---> There is already a listener on IP endpoint 0.0.0.0:8085. This could happen if there is another application already listening on this endpoint or if you have multiple service endpoints in your service host with the same IP endpoint but with incompatible binding configurations. ---> Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted

Any help would be appreciated. ;)

"Email from the administrators of Minecraft Wiki." spam
I got the E-Mail "Email from the administrators of Minecraft Wiki." already 5 times, and it has everytime the same content! One mail at 08:39 (CET), 08:54, 09:16, 10:32 and 10 minutes ago! xx luke 11:23, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I think you will find that they were from the different language wikis. Don't worry, all the migrations are finished now, so there won't be any more coming. -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  11:31, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Username
Is there any way to change my Curse name? I want people to know me as Sparkpin, not my brother. Sparksammy (talk) 11:34, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * You would need to create a new Curse.com account using a different email address. Then we could unlink your wiki account from the current Curse account, and link it to the new one. -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  11:49, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Merging users
Glad to see wikies alive and running, but there is a total mess with users. Should I do something particular to merge my old account data (now renamed to Norrius) with my Curse account on the wiki? Also userpages... They all are like User123 (User:User123) now. It is going to be fixed, right? Also styles have been corrupted and autocompleting/guessing in the search isn't working anymore. Norrius (talk) 12:18, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello, please try going to Special:CurseUserMerge to manually start the merge process. Btarsa (talk) 15:26, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * It says The provided merge key was invalid or has expired. Please go back and log in again. I tried logging in and off, no result. Norrius (talk) 16:14, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok, try Special:WikiAccountRecovery next then. Also, for the styles you will have to move your personal css files to User:Username/Hydra.css or User:Username/Common.css. Search is a known issue, decisions were made at a higher level than our team to switch to a new system that will take some time to build the index. Expect it to be working perfectly again soon. CRSBenjamin - (talk) [[File:User_Wynthyst_sig_icon.png]] 20:35, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Norrius, there seems to be some issues specific to the Russian wiki with the user merges that we need to investigate and work on resolving. Please be patient and ask your community to be patient with me as we work through this stuff (I think it has to do with the Cyrillic text but don't hold me to that). I will be putting all my attention on resolving these problems for the Russian community once I get through the issues on the English wiki. -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  06:02, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

User merge issues
"The next time you log into Minecraft Wiki you will be asked to claim an existing Curse.com account"

It did not happen to me. How can I merge? Tiripon (talk) 13:30, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The best thing to try is to go to Special:CurseUserMerge. We had some hiccups during the merge process due to a cascading failure at our data center. If you continue to have problems, please reply and let us know and we will do our best to get you sorted out. Btarsa (talk) 15:28, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Userboxes
Becuase Userboxes are on Userpages a lot of them have been broken. some one needs to find some way to fix this.--007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 13:20, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Can you give me an example or two? For cases where a user has assumed a new username because of the merge, people using boxes from that user's space may have to update their links accordingly. Btarsa (talk) 15:30, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * It's because many users had the random number issue, where their entire userspace was moved to their name with a random number in it. Uness something can be dealt with server side, we may have to manually find the users who experienced this and move their spaces back. 18:32, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * This is a total bottom of the list priority. Please do not do anything until we can fix the broken userpages. Thanks. -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  18:53, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * This issue "should" be resolved as users login and get their accounts merged with Curse accounts. We can look at the issue again after a reasonable period of time and move the userboxes to more appropriate places -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  06:50, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Slow loading
I don't really know if this is related to the migration, but since the Minecraft Wiki has migrated I sometimes get really long loadtimes on trying to read or edit a page. Does anyone else experience this? I'm from the Netherlands. --DdgMC (talk) 14:56, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * This should begin to resolve soon. Its most likely residual trouble from the failures at the data center yesterday. When everything is back at full-steam load times should be less than they were before the migration. Btarsa (talk) 15:32, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The loadtimes seem to get a bit better, but thanks for the heads-up. --DdgMC (talk) 15:36, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Century Link Problem
In German Wiki we have a lot of users with numbers in their new username. What is the best way to deal with this? -Sumpfhütte 93.214.224.42 15:57, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * These are probably accounts that did not merge correctly. Please try /Spezial:CurseUserMerge and see if that can resolve the problem. If not, maybe provide us with a clear example so we can look into it, thanks. Btarsa (talk) 16:05, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Personally I have no problem - I like to help others. Currently I'm logged in. If I try "Spezial:CurseUserMerge" (without Slash) I get this message: "Account Merge Error - The provided merge key was invalid or has expired. Please go back and log in again." Is this only working if not logged in? Would it be dangerous if I try it (because I'm already successfully merged)? 93.214.224.42 16:17, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Now several Users just moved all their pages and subpages to the old username. Is this okay or has it effects on MediaWiki-references? 93.214.224.42 16:22, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * You say to TheWombatGuru: "In the meantime, please do not edit your userpage (old or new/non-existent)." Does this mean, the manual move of the own user pages from wrong (with numbers) to right (without numbers) is not okay? 93.214.224.42 16:44, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * When they will fix it, that will be causing problems I think, maybe you could copy the pages that hey have moved manually to an offline word document, so when it gets corrupted or something like that, you can just copy it back? -- TheWombatGuru   t undefinedc  NL Admin  16:46, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, its an issue that when we try to fix the problem, if there is other text on the destination page it can cause problems. Either we can work to fix it, or you can move/re-create the userpage, but not both. If you would prefer to have your user page migrated by us, please leave the "new" userpage blank. The user merge page will only work for folks who are not merged, if you have already merged sucessfully it will give you that error. CRSBenjamin - (talk) [[File:User_Wynthyst_sig_icon.png]] 16:51, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your answer and your hard work to fix this not-Curse-related problem. I understood this: you try to fix the problem for all users in all wikis automatically. Users who already recreated their old user page (the one without numbers) will be skipped by the automatic correction. Did I understand this correctly? 93.214.224.42 17:30, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Are users who already recreated their old user page (the one without numbers) just skipped by the automatic correction? 93.214.246.71 19:51, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes. -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  19:52, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Can't log in.
Ugh. I hate this account merging crap. ALWAYS a hassle. And the message I got to do it sent me to the Netherlands wiki. So, despite having changed my password it still isn't letting me log in. I got the '' message too. --24.164.3.244 16:20, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Its a hassle for us too, trust me :-) Just head on over to Special:CurseUserMerge. Let me know if you have any problems after trying that. Btarsa (talk) 16:28, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Another problem with the user account
It seems that my account doesn`t exist. My old name was ".zip". Now I´m logged in with my Curse login credentials. My Curse name is "_zip". But in the wiki I´m displayed as "zip" (username and display name). My edits aren´t saved and when I use the Curse bar at the top of the pages to open my userpage it says: "Das Benutzerkonto „Zip“ ist nicht vorhanden." in the german Wiki and "User account "Zip" is not registered." in the english wiki. None of the four variants leads to my userpage. And a version of my name with numbers in it doesn´t seem to exist. --.zip de.MinecraftWiki-Admin Diskussion 17:35, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Zip, unfortunately names with leading underscores do not work our system (I think MediaWiki restriction) I've given you a global curse rename credit. Please try logging in with that and see what happens regarding your prior contributions. - Smokie (talk) 18:30, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I chose the new name "xzipx". The problem still exists. Or had i to rename in "Zip"?--.zip de.MinecraftWiki-Admin Diskussion 07:27, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I´m sorry. After the name change I was still logged in as "zip". Now I tried to log in as "xzipx". And it worked. My userpages exist and my contributions were saved. Thank you for your help! --.zip de.MinecraftWiki-Admin Diskussion 13:38, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

about the merge options
I found the merge options are little bit unclear of their function. Does the first one meant our curse username does not match our wiki username let us select the wiki username that we want to use? and we choose the second on when we want our wiki username to be the same as the curse account? —Powup333  ZH Admin  21:35, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * You have one account now. You should be able to log in to ANY wiki on Gamepedia as Powup333 with one password. If for some reason your contributions and userpages did not merge on one or more of the Minecraft wikis, please let me know and we will address it starting Monday morning. -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  05:52, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

"504 Gateway Time-out"
I keep getting this error when I try to access Village Blueprints, but had no difficulty accessing this page before the merge. I was in the middle of updating the church blueprints to be in the same style as the others when everything was frozen for the merge, and would like to post the last couple of layers! --108.50.249.246 00:41, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I will get the guys to refresh it in the backend, though it might not happen until Monday. Sorry for the inconvenience! -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  02:05, 21 September 2013 (UTC)


 * If you want to keep editing go to the edit page at [], copy-paste the source into Notepad or similar editor, do what you want with it, and once the page is fixed you can copy-paste it back. Lennbot (talk) 17:14, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Display name problem?
Why is it that names on edit and links to userpages show like this "User1 (User:User1)". I am assuming that 'User1" is the display name and "(User:User1)" is the username. But why is it shown for people whos display name is the same as there Username?-- 007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 01:20, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * When we were instructed to offer Display names, we had to come up with the best solution we could. Since MediaWiki simply will not recognize display names properly, this was the best we could do. There's no practical way for it to only display it for people with different display names as account names.. but we are always open to alternative solutions should one of you geniuses come up with something that can be applied globally. -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  02:10, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * When I logged into the Hearthstone Wiki a few months ago, they had the same issue, but it eventually went away. I assumed it was globally fixed as a Gamepedia issue, but apparently not. Could you get in touch with the people involved over there to see what they did? 04:27, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, I figured it out. It's in their common.css page. Mind if I toss it into ours? 04:31, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes I do mind actually. Please leave the css alone until we get through all the user merge issues, and then we can revisit the issue. I'm actually getting really frustrated that NONE of you seem willing to even try any of the new features that are brought in with Gamepedia, and are all in such a rush to remove every trace of them from your personal css. LEAVE THE GLOBAL CSS ALONE. -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  04:37, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I jumped the gun. Rolled it back as soon as I read your reply. Their workaround doesn't hide it, it makes it work like it should. The (User:actualname) is hidden and the display name is properly displayed. When I saw the recent changes after I put that in there, Matt's name worked, since his username is Majr. 04:43, 21 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I could easily make a script which hides the username if it is the same as the display name. However, I wonder if we actually need to show the username at all. If you hover over the link the title is set to the username. It's probably the sort of thing that needs a preference setting. –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs – 04:51, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * We've got a solution on Wowpedia you may be interested in... See MediaWiki:Gadget-name-resolve.js. More info is at Forum:Display names, and instructions on how to export/import the gadget are at Special:Gadgets/export/name-resolve. --Kaydeethree (talk) 05:10, 21 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Can we please just delay this discussion until we get all the user merge issues fixed? it's not actually a "issue" of something being broken because of the migration, it's a new feature of the platform that will be up for community debate after we get the actual broken stuff fixed. -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  05:12, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Issue with display name
I tried to fix my display name before manual account merge and now I can't use 'Norrius'. I get error message asserting that "that display name has already been chosen by another user", perhaps because I accidentaly assigned it to old wiki account, which is now gone... Can I please get my name back? Norrius (talk) 12:54, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * These are apparently individual for different wikis. I'm talking about Russian wiki. Norrius (talk) 12:58, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * This is one of several issues that appear to be specific to the Russian wiki. I am going to devote a block of time on Monday to addressing them all. -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  16:33, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Broken minecraft font
The minecraft font is linking to hydra-media.cursecdn.com which is a different domain to the wiki. Fonts are subject to the same-origin policy, so you either need to set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header on the CDN, or move the fonts to the minecraft.gamepedia.com domain (and also copy it to all the languages, since the same-origin policy oddly counts sub-domains as different origins). –Matt ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs – 15:33, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * We host all our custom fonts on the media CDN and this has never come up as an issue anywhere. I will pass it along to our tech team for their review. -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  18:05, 21 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Before the merge the font was kept on the minecraftwiki.net domain. I assumed it was for this very reason. –Matt ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs – 18:21, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Not that I'm aware of, and let me clarify, we host all the custom fonts used on Gamepedia based wikis on the media CDN (we now have several other wikis where they are allowing custom font use... see what you guys started! lol). -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  18:27, 21 September 2013 (UTC)


 * curse.com uses a couple of custom fonts too. I blame everyone else. –Matt ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs – 18:41, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

More issues
--User_GreenStone 20:35, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) My account was merged improperly. The old account remains at Special:Contributions/GreenStone, and I could not reclaim it (tried logging in with the old username, using Special:WikiAccountRecovery, none of these worked).
 * 2) Display name seems to work only in user page display titles.
 * 3) Clicking the "Changes" tab when creating a new section displays the changes improperly. (Using the "Show changes" button below works correctly.)

User page showing second newest revision after editing
Nice to see the Wiki is running. I tried to update a template on my user page. I changed the lines "| version = 1.3" to "| version = 1.3.1" and "| minecraft version = 1.6.2" to "| minecraft version = 1.6.4" near the bottom of the source of the page. When I saved the page, it still displayed the page as it was pre-edit. I pressed Edit again, and the source displayed "1.3.1" and "1.6.4" as I wanted. I did a minor change to the page again, and this time the page correctly displayed "1.3.1" and "1.6.4" from the first edit, however the latest edit was not displayed. I pressed Edit and Save, then the last edit appeared as well. It seems to me as this is a bug, I hope it can be corrected :) Bilde2910 (talk) 13:59, 22 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Clear your cache or do a null edit. –Matt ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs – 14:11, 22 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I used Shift+F5 (Chrome) to refresh the page several times. Shift+F5 will force a reload, ignoring cache. There was no change until I re-edited the page. Null edits work, but it's really annoying having to do one every time I want to edit a page :( Also, when I edit this issue page, the changes show up immediately, whereas on the user template I referenced, it does not.
