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.
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). -- Wynthysttalk 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.

Command Block page not found, purging doesn't fix it
Resolved
Database error when trying to find Command Block page. Tried ?action=purge, but it didn't work.
Never mind, the problem fixed itself...
The command block page comes up as being nonexistent. If you want a screen cap just tell me. --Crushcastles23 (talk) 17:19, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Everything related to Fishing, including external search (Google), internal search, and various redirects, seems to be broken.
When I search herobrine, a string of gameplay feedback appears on the screen and all that I can pull out of it is a username: kizzycocoa.
My userpage!
Resolved
We have to create our user pages again?! What?! Numbermaniac(User:Numbermaniac) 08:22, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Did you have any issues logging in? -- Wynthysttalk 08:24, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
No, that was fine. Numbermaniac 08:31, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Ok, we are just getting finished bringing the rest of the language wikis online. We will start troubleshooting individual user problems tomorrow after we've had some sleep :D Don't do anything rash (like start recreating stuff) till we have a chance to look into it. I promise we will figure it out. -- Wynthysttalk 08:36, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
So I don't make my userpage again? Numbermaniac 08:43, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Just wait til the guys can look into it, I'm seeing that you also aren't showing your display name in recent changes so it's probably a hiccup in the user merge. -- Wynthysttalk 08:45, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, it's something in the user merge process gone awry. We will get it fixed tomorrow, so just give us a little patience... while we have been planning for this migration for over a month, we had no way to foresee that Century Link would have a major meltdown while we were in the middle of it which caused some cascading problems at our Data Center. -- Wynthysttalk 08:59, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
I just create a new user page with my original ID(Kakagou12),it will be a problem?Kakagou12341 (talk) 11:07, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
It appears you haven't completed the merge process (thus all the numbers after your name. And yes, if you just create new pages, it's a problem. We need to resolve your user merge. -- Wynthysttalk 11:13, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
When I edit my weird userpage it says "N96522..." isnt registered. Can I still edit that page? Numbermaniac (talk) 11:27, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
The issue is only partially fixed. Now any subpages in my user space with the letter n in it are capital Ns. Numbermaniac (talk) 02:06, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
Potato
Resolved
The page for Potato appears to be broken—maybe because of the migration? It's giving me this message: "The database did not find the text of a page that it should have found, named 'Potato.' This is usually caused by following an outdated diff or history link to a page that has been deleted. If this is not the case, you may have found a bug in the software. Please report this to an administrator, making note of the URL." (I would link to it but it won't let me since I'm an unregistered user.) --76.19.67.114 10:25, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
When you find pages like this just click on "edit" and then save the page. This should fix it. Potato appears to be working fine now. -- Wynthysttalk 10:32, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Biomes
Resolved
Biomes is broken, says it does not exist.
Fixed. For any pages that come up with a database error saying it doesn't exist, the page just needs to be purged. You can do this by adding ?action=purge to the end of the url. - Smokie
eksampel Minecraft Wiki/wiki/Server commands page isnt there? and there is other pages too what happend? (user:ninjagocola)
It's @ Server . There is currently a redirect bug causing pages to come up as "Minecraft Wiki/wiki/pagename" just change the url to "pagename" - smokie
Fixed. If you find them, just click on "edit" and then save the page. It should fix it. -- Wynthysttalk 10:01, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
The page for Computer upcoming features is missing. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 173.30.194.198 (talk) 17:01, 21 September 2013(UTC). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

MediaWiki pages
Resolved
It seems that the old MediaWiki pages in the german Wiki don´t exist any more. Do we have to create them new or can you fix that? .zip
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. -- Wynthysttalk 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.
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. Wynthysttalk 20:36, 20 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. -- Wynthysttalk 02:02, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
This is funky3000 speaking here. I can't log into my account. I've tried my username 3 times and I know for a fact it's right. My problem is my password. I tried my password for this twice along with a variation of my password I sometimes use just in case it was the wrong one. If I need to email any information for my account to Ultradude, Wynthyst, or any other admin, I'd be more than happy to do so.
Just now tried using my email instead to see if that would work, got a strange error. "<asirra-edit>"
So I can't really do anything besides this or get a new account until this issue is resolved. 71.86.183.208 10:31, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Please email me with your username, and email address associated with your wiki account. We unfortunately don't have access to your passwords, and now you need to get your account linked to a Curse account. I will do my best to get this resolved for you. -- Wynthysttalk 10:34, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Alright, I'll get to that after school. I have an early bus to catch. 71.86.183.208 10:41, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
This happened to me too. I fixed it by going to this site and resetting my password. Lennbot (talk) 14:17, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
_zombiehunter speaking here: I have the same problem. Typed in correct username and password several times, but login always failed saying "Incorrect password entered. Please try again.". It worked fine a week ago, but now, meh :-( @Lennbot: Tried that too, didn't work.
I reset my password, it's working now but I'm not exactly happy with the name "funkyd3000" but I guess it's fine. Funky3000 (talk) 00:01, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
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 '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
"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! ---- xxluke 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. -- Wynthysttalk 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. -- Wynthysttalk 11:49, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Version History
Resolved
The PC version history only goes to 1.5 not 1.0
Older versions are linked under the references. The page was getting far too long, and was not an issue caused by the migration. -- Wynthysttalk 11:48, 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<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) 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. -- Wynthysttalk 06:02, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
Director rights
Resolved
I need my directors right back. Leon ᐸ Talk Contributions - de.Wiki Admin 12:42, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Done. -- Wynthysttalk 18:35, 20 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)
missing interwiki-links in de wiki
Resolved
For example "mcbug" --eagle3000(D ~ B) 13:09, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Fixed in german wiki. Leon ᐸ Talk Contributions - de.Wiki Admin 13:19, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
The Dutch and German wiki used to share the English wiki's interwiki link table. They now have their own. It's likely there are more entries that need to be added to both. That is up to the wiki admins for that particular language. I added all the MCW languages, but I didn't know which others you needed. This is NOT an issue for here. Wynthysttalk 21:06, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
I added the twitter once. Leon ᐸ Talk Contribs - de.Wiki Admin 21:09, 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. -- Wynthysttalk 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 -- Wynthysttalk 06:50, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
Share button
Resolved
The new "Share" button is not formatted like the rest of the buttons. its not bold and is lower then the other buttons, also the hole thing does not light up when you hover over it, only the arrow--007a83(Talk|Contribs) 13:24, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
I will get someone to take a look at this. Bothers my OCD as well :-) Btarsa (talk) 15:31, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
A fix is ready. Just a matter of fighting the cache to make sure everyone gets it. Cathadan (talk) 15:46, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Isn't there a way to force a cache update? --eagle3000(D ~ B) 16:12, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
There is, I just don't have the tools to do it myself. It will work itself out eventually. Cathadan (talk) 16:46, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
This is a global skin fix that will be resolved with a few others. We are just trying to put things in order of priority. -- Wynthysttalk 19:24, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Sidebar Missing
Resolved
It may just be me, but I have no sidebar anymore. The news, updates, community creations boxes on the right for those that don't know. I had enough trouble getting the wiki to recognize my password but now that I am in, this seems to be my only problem. Please post if someone has a fix for this, it is slightly disturbing. --Isadore21 -_- 14:46, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Well, didn't see that there with the trouble I had logging in, but now that that's cleared up. Thanks for the help. --Isadore21 -_- 14:57, 20 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)
Germann wiki
Resolved
The Unterschied button is called Diff. Leon ᐸ Talk Contribs - de.Wiki Admin 15:00, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
I'm sorry, can you give me a little more info about which button you're talking about? Btarsa (talk) 15:34, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
He means the button in "Recent changes" to show the differences between two versions. I solved it by creating the MediaWiki page in the german Wiki with the new content "Unterschied"--.zipde.MinecraftWiki-Admin Diskussion 15:44, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Icon in favorites bar
Resolved
The logo for the wiki does not appear in the favorites bar anymore, it shows the "file" icon. It worked before the migration and still works for the old website. I am using Google Chrome. Also, the icon still appears on the tabs. I know this isn't a serious issue, but I think it should be looked at at some point. Lennbot (talk) 15:23, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
I will definitely add it to the list of things we will be investigating. Thanks for noticing that! Btarsa (talk) 15:35, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
It also may be stuck in your browser cache. Some browsers take longer to resolve the favicons than other (Firefox is notorious for this problem). I have not had any problem with it due to the merge (even before Cathadan reuploaded it). -- Wynthysttalk 01:17, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
Mobs
Resolved
Mobs page broken, same error as Potato and Biomes. Purging didn't work, don't have permission to edit it. 86.130.207.163 15:35, 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? -- TheWombatGurut | 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) 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. -- Wynthysttalk 19:52, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Avatar not showing up
Resolved
Is it normal that my curse avatar isnt showing up in the curse bar on the top? If not, could it be because my curse name is "eagle3000" and my wiki name "Eagle3000"? --eagle3000(D ~ B)
I would check over at [https://en.gravatar.com/ Gravatar to make sure everything is set up. If that doesn't work reply back and I can investigate more. Btarsa (talk) 16:27, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Okay, i logged in with my (old) wordpress account and applied an avatar for my email, then i cleared my cache and now the avatar is showing up. Thanks ;) --eagle3000(D ~ B) 16:43, 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 '<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)
Minecraft font not working
Resolved
Minecraft font not working. The links in the Common.css are invalid.
I'll get someone on this right away. Btarsa (talk) 16:28, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

User Page
Resolved
Hello,
I'm an admin on the Dutch mcwiki, and am also active on the english wiki. My Userpage is gone, it has been moved to User:T26077heWombaT26077Guru, this also happened on the dutch mcwiki nl:User:T26077heWombaT26077Guru. Can I move it back to my real name, or are you guys going to fix this, because a lot of people have this problem (Also on the other language wikis like the dutch).
-- TheWombatGurut | c NL Admin 16:25, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
I will have to investigate. It's odd that your userpage ended up in another place when your contributions merged properly. It is probably due to the crashes we encountered during the merge process. In the meantime, please do not edit your userpage (old or new/non-existent). Sorry for the trouble, the merge was complicated by hardware failures of our ISP/Datacenter and we are working hard to get everything fixed for everyone. Btarsa (talk) 16:32, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Ok, so my Curse account and Minecraft account did actually merge? Because a mail of yours said I had to do some stuff to get it right, but I wasn't asked to actually do 'stuff'. -- TheWombatGurut | c NL Admin 16:33, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
We will be getting this fixed, working on the English wiki first, then we will move to the Language wikis.
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. --.zipde.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"?--.zipde.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! --.zipde.MinecraftWiki-Admin Diskussion 13:38, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
Custom CSS not showing up
Resolved
all the custom CSS of the wiki isn't showing up. the wiki looks like the bog-standard Wikipedia background. --Kizzycocoa 19:26, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

MediaWiki-Search doesn't work any more
Resolved
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. -- Wynthysttalk 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)

Search engine broken
Resolved
I try to search stuff, and not only does it not show suggestions as I type, but it doesn't show search results when I press Enter. It just says, "We have a page called so-and-so, if you want to go to that." It's so annoying!
Please see two topics above. Wynthysttalk 20:53, 20 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? —Powup333ZH 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. -- Wynthysttalk 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! -- Wynthysttalk 02:05, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
If you want to keep editing go to the edit page at [[1]], 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|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. -- Wynthysttalk 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. -- Wynthysttalk 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)
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. -- Wynthysttalk 05:12, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
Broken links
Resolved
Well I finally got through the merge, however all the links on talk pages still link to my old name (links on my user page are broken too). Do I have to manually correct these or will it fix itself? –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs – 03:23, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
Most of that is because those users have not yet logged in and merged their accounts. Once that happens, those links "should" resolve themselves. My suggestion is leave everything alone for a week or two. After that, we can re open the issue..... Wait... is that you Ultra? -- Wynthysttalk 03:57, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
Anything hard linked to your old username will need to be changed manually. -- Wynthysttalk 04:05, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
Yeah it's me. I guess I'll have to do some bot runs later to fix up hard links. –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs – 04:14, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Problem with logging in using my e-mail address
Resolved
I can log in to the Minecraft Wiki just fine if I use my username, but whenever I try to log in using my e-mail address instead, it says "Invalid password, please try again." The password I use to log in, however, is the same in both cases, and the e-mail address I use is definitely correct.
I've already changed my password once using the form on Curse.com because I wasn't able to log in at all at first. Maybe that's the reason for this problem? smwforever45 (talk) 12:31, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
I'm not sure why you would be trying to login with your email address. Just login with your normal wiki username. -- Wynthysttalk 17:53, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
Well the login page does say Email or Username, so you'd expect either to work. I had the exact opposite earlier where it would only accept my email address and not my username, although both seem to work now. –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs – 17:59, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
I had exact the same problem as Matt. And in German Wiki are several users who can't login with the same problem. Strange is: sometimes only the username is accepted, sometimes only the email-adress and after it worked once, both are accepted. 93.214.228.82 19:16, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
The problem solved itself. Logging in using the e-mail address works fine for me now. ;) smwforever45 (talk) 12:31, 22 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)

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. -- Wynthysttalk 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 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). -- Wynthysttalk 18:27, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
curse.com uses a couple of custom fonts too. I blame everyone else. –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs – 18:41, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
"Unable to open CDB file"
Resolved
I get the following error when I try to access any page on the wiki. The only thing that changes is the name on line #17.
I'm not sure if this issue is 'fixed', but until I logged in, I was unable to access several articles. They instead returned the following text: "Unable to open CDB file "/media/hydra-cache/minecraft.gamepedia.com/l10n_cache-en.cdb"", followed by a stacktrace. None of the usual wiki GUI was present, so there were no Edit or History buttons to click. Other articles loaded fine, however. I no longer get the error (and thus can't get a stacktrace to post here), but it seemed to go away the exact moment I logged in. Whether that's a coincidence, or users who've never signed into Curse simply can't see these pages, I don't know.

Misplaced User Page(s): Mentalmouse42
Resolved
My account was formerly "Mental Mouse", now my login is "MentalMouse42", but my user and talk pages haven't been moved. (Presumably because of the userpages for that guy who registered here as MentalMouse42 -- he changed his account but left his user page.) I also would like to have my Sandbox and any other subdirectories/subpages moved to match, and appropriate redirects set up. Is it possible for me to change my display name to
"Mental Mouse"? Apparently, I need a "credit" to do so.... --MentalMouse42 (talk) 17:01, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

More issues
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).
Display name seems to work only in user page display titles.
Clicking the "Changes" tab when creating a new section displays the changes improperly. (Using the "Show changes" button below works correctly.)
Says it needs to be deleted and undeleted. Pretty sure it's because of the move. Meeples10t ~ c 21:04, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

You're not using the template. Navigating through your userspace transclusions, you are using the layout of an infobox, but not the template itself.

Wiki/ Suffix
Resolved
Why is it that whenever I try to edit a page it has a Wiki/ suffix? For example, when editing Fish, clicking the edit button goes to Editing Wiki/Fish. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edit count 08:01, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
This is the result of the MediaWiki installation changing a certain url setting. The wiki no longer uses /wiki/ in the urls, and the "Replaces ugly links with fancy ones" piece of code at the bottom of your common.js is messing your navigation up as a result. Remove the following from your common.js:
/* Replaces ugly links with fancy ones ("/wiki/Pagename?action=edit" instead of "/index.php?title=Pagename&action=edit") */
$('a').prop('href', function() {
return this.href.replace(/\/index\.php\?title=([\w:/=!\-.\(\)]*)&(?!action=(?:un)?watch)([\w:/=]*)/, "/wiki/$1?$2");
} );
Hmm, the only thing is that when I try to delete it, it doesn't bring me to the edit page. Would you be able to delete that part from my common.js for me? –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edit count 08:54, 22 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)
