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.


Diff wandered off?

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 " <asirra-edit> ." 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 User Wynthyst sig icon talk 05:56, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
      • What? I did? I didn't know that. But I'm sorry that me merging to the new platform so early caused problems. --KamranMackey (talk) 18:10, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

I used be Hawk777 on the old Minecraft wiki. Now that name is taken on Curse. In the merge form, I choose option 1, choose username or update e-mail. I enter username Hawk778 instead. I get back a message “Sorry, there was a problem merging your account into our central database. Please try again later or contact an administrator for assistance. [Error #1004 - User Merge Add]”. This message apparently doesn’t mean the username is taken, as if I choose Hawk777 instead I get a different error.

The type initializer for 'Curse.Auth.NetworkService' 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. ;)

Hi. Sorry for taking so long to respond, I haven't been on the site in a while. Anyway, now I can get on the login page (I do not know how I fixed it, but I did), but now it won't let me use my password. I've tried it about 5 times to no avail. I swear it's the right password, because I've been able to log on before the migration. Please help, thanks!

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<id>) 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) User Wynthyst sig icon 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 User Wynthyst sig icon 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|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. —Kanegasi ☺C 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 User Wynthyst sig icon 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 User Wynthyst sig icon talk 06:50, 22 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 | c 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) User Wynthyst sig icon 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 User Wynthyst sig icon talk 19:52, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

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 '<asirra-edit>' 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)
If you are still experiencing difficulties, I need your wiki username so I can track it down. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 15:17, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

MediaWiki-Search doesn't work any more

In German Wiki the search-function doesn't work any more. For example, I like to see all pages which contain the word "wikipedia". The only answer is like "no result - create this page". Before the migration there was a list of all pages which contain the search-word. What can I do? 93.214.246.71 19:32, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

We are now using Sphinx search. Unfortunately, there are some issues with it, it takes a long time to build the library, but we have no option here it was a change required by people much higher in the food chain than me. There will most likely continue to be issues with the search for awhile. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 19:37, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the answer. (I know this food-chain-problems very well). Now: does this mean I just have to wait until the library is complete? How long this may take, days, weeks? --Sumpfhütte 93.214.246.71 19:47, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Does this mean I'll just have to wait some days?? 93.214.246.71 20:27, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Pretty much. If the problems persist, we can look at forcing a rebuild, but that's not always successful. Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 20:31, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Works now. Leon ᐸ Talk
Contribs - de.Wiki Admin 08:23, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
Unfortunately it doesn't work. I waited three days after the "works now" rendition, because previously MediaWiki took some time to update things. And really, there is a minor effect to see. Three days ago my example-search-word "wikipedia" brought 3 results, now there are five. But before the migration I started to work on the German "commands" article and made a note that the search-word "befehl" (command) was found 62 times. I need all these results for my work. But now the search is listing only the article-page and nothing more. Search for "block": two results. For "item": one. It should be hundreds. I'll just continue patiently with waiting, but I wanted to say, the problem is not resolved. Sumpfhütte --93.214.235.26 09:44, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Hopefully you can help me. As a wiki author I need a working search-function. Before the migration I noticed that the search-function didn't really show all results so I appreciate a new and better search-function. But the new search really don't work even one week after the migration. Try Special:Search, type e.g. "block" and click "Everything". The result is a page named "Block" an one additional result. One! It should be hundreds. Interesting point: at the right side of the page it says: "Result 1 of 1,616,648 for block" - strange... I waited several days because you said a library must be built. I noticed that some day more results where shown than the day before (but far not enough), and the next day... less! - strange... Do you have any information for me how this could be solved? It must not be immediately if you have more important issues, but one week after the migration I have a long list of things which I need to fix in the wiki texts - if the search would only work. Even Google shows more results than the wiki (e.g. if you google for "minecraft.gamepedia.com block") Sumpfhuette (talk) 17:00, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
We have had many issues/complaints about Sphinx Search. It's generally not as thorough as even the default search, but we have no choice. It was dictated to us to use it. That being the case we will continue to try to make it better as time allows. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 17:20, 26 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 User Wynthyst sig icon talk 05:52, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Acount port error

"504 Gateway Time-out"

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|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 User Wynthyst sig icon 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? —Kanegasi ☺C 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? —Kanegasi ☺C 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 User Wynthyst sig icon 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. —Kanegasi ☺C 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 User Wynthyst sig icon talk 05:12, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
We solved the problem. Put 
.dnUser { display: none; }
in your Hydra.css. If that doesn´t work try 
span.dnUser { display: none; }
. This works for the personal Hydra.css, too. This solution came from an user of the german Wiki. If questions arise, you can ask de:Benutzer:CalebBlackhand--.zip de.MinecraftWiki-Admin Diskussion 16:34, 27 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'.

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)

Broken files

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 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 User Wynthyst sig icon 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 Talk

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 User Wynthyst sig icon talk 18:27, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

The account seems to be merged properly now. Display names still do not work on the Russian wiki (unlikely to be caused by local css/js there); names in histories still show as Curse account names (not DisplayName (User:CurseAccountName) like here). Another minor issue is that page sizes can no longer be viewed in histories. --GreenStone (0x54; 0x43) 17:13, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

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)

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.

The bug is back, tried both F5 and Ctrl+Shift+R, changes keep not showing up. Also created a new page in Chrome, edited it (changes not showing), then opened it in Firefox, changes still not showing. This is a wiki bug. Bilde2910 (talk) 14:19, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Capitalization in Username

On the Minecraft Forums my name is in lower-case, and that's the way I like it. On this wiki, it is in upper-case for the first letter of my name. I don't know if this was intended, but could you please override it somehow to be in all lower case? Awsmazinggenius (talk) 03:50, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

This is not a Gamepedia migration issue, this is a common limitation of the wiki software. There is no way to force a lowercase first letter for usernames or articles. There is formatting code to display a lowercase first letter on your userpage, as well as your signature on talk pages, but it is just for show. —Kanegasi ☺C 23:36, 22 September 2013 (UTC) |}

I just have a feeling that this will be a problem for other users. In the next update, can you please implement this?

No there's nothing to implement. This is a core limitation in the MediaWiki software. It is impossible for you to have a lower case letter at the beginning of your username, or of any article (page) on this wiki. So regardless of what your personal preferences are, or anyone else's this is not something that is going to change.... unless and until the developers of MediaWiki change it (which I don't see happening). Thus this topic is going to be marked as resolved again. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 05:08, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Automatic log in is not working

When I logged in the first time, I did not check the box for remembering my login for 30 days accidentally.

Is this intentional behavior? Pokechu22 (talk) 22:05, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Yes, but if you want to change it, just manually log out of the wiki. That should reset your cookie, otherwise, simply clean out all your cookies, that will also fix it. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 01:31, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

"Share your work with everyone" not going away, EVER.

I started editing a page and when I hit "save page" a pop-up appeared saying "Share your work with everyone!". When I hit "Never Again", it didn't go away, so i hit "No Thanks", still nothing, finally i hit "Done", and still nothing happened. I clicked outside that pop-up and it went away, and i was happy. now when ever I load a new page the pop-up comes back, and I click off-pop-up and it goes away, load another page, comes back.

"Recover Account" not possible

Hi Curse team! Our user "Doktorpixel14" can't login any more in the German Wiki with his username and password. It says they are wrong. I told him to get a new password, but unfortunately the link doesn't exist. The same happens in the English Wiki:

  • The Login page is: Special:UserLogin
  • At the bottom is a line called "Forgot your Curse account password? Password Reset." If you click it, it links to Special:CursePasswordReset.
  • There appears this text: "Password resets for your Curse.com account must be done from the Curse Support site. Please visit 'Recover Account - Curse Support' to reset the password on your Curse.com account."
  • If you click on "Recover Account - Curse Support" it links to "http://support.curse.com/recover-account"
  • But this page says: "Oops. The page you were looking for doesn't exist."

Please help. Thanks --Sumpfhuette (talk) 16:44, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

"Random Page" Eliminated from Sidebar

Since the creation of the Minecraft Wiki website there has been a "Random Page" link.

Evidence: http://web.archive.org/web/20090621202937/http://minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page

It was located on the front page of the website. The link was in the sidebar towards the top.

I used this all the time... It was a good way to discover pages that you might never find otherwise... The truth is, I just enjoyed the process of randomly going to the many obscure pages that are contained on this great Minecraft resource.

I cannot believe that there is no one else who has not noticed the elimination of this link, but since I was unable to find a thread discussing this issue, I decided to post one myself.

Please give us back "Random Page"... Thanks!

Has nothing to do with the merge. But thats the change, which removed the link. --eagle3000 (D ~ B)
Apparently it was removed because it tended to pick up too many inappropriate pages -- archives, random language, other miscellany. See here for a similar idea that's under discussion. --MentalMouse42 (talk) 23:02, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Please repair the Search-function

I dont't give up asking you to repair the Wiki search function. So please don't give up too! I understood that the new search wasn't your idea, but nevertheless would it be very nice if you could HELP us. Five weeks after the migration, and we can't use the search. Is there any workaround? Do you have any idea what we can do to find all pages which contain a certain word? Current example: the german translation for the Minecraft "command block" has been changed. Now we have to adjust all pages, where this word occurs. But how could we find them? The Wiki search says: "There are 4 results" and shows NOTHING. No result appears! Apart from that there must be around 30 to 60 results! HOW CAN WE FIND THESE RESULTS??? Please help us. Sumpfhuette (talk) 18:48, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Of course. Thats the problem. Our problem is not that the file isn´t shown but that it is listed as "wanted"--.zip de.MinecraftWiki-Admin Diskussion 00:48, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
To be precise, the problem's this: We renamed a bunch of Grid files, and now there's this one page that still uses the old file 'Grid Chest.png'. We'd update the page if we could get to it. Unfortunately, while it's obviously in the database (as the page is linked from de:Special:Special:WantedFiles), it's unreachable. I suspect it's due to the fact that the username ends with an underscore - something MediaWiki usually doesn't like. It seems to have worked before the migration, though. --CalebBlackhand (talk) 15:51, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

When you search for something, the search result total is weirdly high. In the case of a search for the word "example", you see "Results 1 - 2 of 4,714 for example", which makes no sense. Pokechu22 (talk) 01:38, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
