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

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 This is usually caused by following an outdated diff or history link to a page that has been deleted.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.

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)

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

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

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)

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Hi Curse-Team! This is new in German Wiki, we didn't have this before: automatic Spam-Users. You can identify them by the following attributes: they create a user page immediately in the same second as they log in; the user page has some text modules with random names, names of parents, hobbies, locations etc. but not one word about Minecraft; the user page is completely in english (or spanish) - and we are speaking about the German Wiki; the user page contains two links, named "more info", "my hometown" or "my blog" to Spam-pages in Japan, Croatia, Poland etc. In the the last two days we had those Spam-users:
Our administrators are deleting them. I'm not sure if they are real persons sitting somewhere and copying text modules in new created gamepedia-accounts, getting 0,001 cent per copy, or if they are web-bots. Maybe you have a possibility to do something against it. Otherwise our admins have a new task: deleting users every day... Sumpfhuette (talk) 07:49, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

wikipedia code on spanish language wiki (and any other language
hello, i dont know if is something that have to do with the migration to gamepedia or not, but still is something i belive need to be fixed and i hope this minecraft wiki on english is the right place to ask for.
at this english minecraft wiki, when someone want to add a link on a word that redirects to a reference on wikipedia one have to do the following
Example: [[wikipedia:Application_programming_interface|API]]
and that will show this: API and the link will be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface
thats usefull at the english version of this wiki, www.minecraftwiki.net ( now minecraft.gamepedia.com )
but then regarding to the minecraft wiki on a language diferent from english, example with my language, spanish (previosly es.minecraftwiki.net now minecraft-es.gamepedia.com , the code [[wikipedia:something]] it still redirects to the english wikipedia en.wikipedia.org instead should redirec to the spanish language wikipedia es.wikipedia.org
i ask if is posible that the spanish language minecraft wiki ( minecraft-es.gamepedia.com ) could change the [[wikipedia: ]] code so can be posible to use it with info articles at the spanish language wikipedia, it will be awesome that one can just ad at the code something and chose wich wikipedia one is trying to link to, a example may be like this [[en.wikipedia:Test]] for english wikipedia, and for example [[es.wikipedia:Test]] for spanish wikipedia, and so on with any other language just typing en es fr de it etc,... like the subdomains of wikipedia are, also i just sugest the two character code and a dot, but obviously can be anything, for example instead of en.wikipedia and es.wikipedia fr.wikipedia etc,.. can be en-wikipedia es-wikipedia de-wikipedia fr-wikipedia or any other way that the coders at this gamepedia wikis may find apropiate.
to show a example right now to be very clear i can explain that currently if at the Spanish language MinecraftWiki, I put the folowing code [[wikipedia:Interfaz_de_programación_de_aplicaciones|API]] that generates this API redirects to http://en.wikipedia.com/wiki/Interfaz_de_programación_de_aplicaciones instead of redirecting to http://es.wikipedia.com/wiki/Interfaz_de_programación_de_aplicaciones
i hope my english language skills were good enough to explain clearly what i mean. i appreciate anything that can be done about it, and if i missed something, im sorry,please excuse me
