A request

Hullo! I've got a request that's fairly minor, though it's something only doable by an admin - copying the 'collapsible tables' code from Wikipedia's MediaWiki:Common.js to MediaWiki:Common.js (or might have to be MediaWiki:Monobook.js, I'm not sure if the configuration on this particular install is different). This would mainly be for the benefit of things like Template:Creatures, to keep them as useful (go directly to related pages without loading a category page in-between) but without taking so much space on the screen. --Sukael 15:50, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

Done. --Senso 16:20, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

Thanks! As you can see at Template:Creatures, it looks to be working perfectly. --Sukael 21:12, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

That's pretty fucking sweet. I didn't even know you could do that with MediaWiki. :)

Wikipedia links

I've just noticed that when I'm not logged in, a link to a random Wikipedia help topic appears on every page in small font in the upper right. Is there any way to disable it? Most of the topics I've seen so far are pretty specific to Wikipedia and don't really belong here. --Peristarkawan 15:28, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Yes, it's annoying - I'll look into it. It seems to be well hidden into an obscure CSS file. --Senso 16:33, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Old Bloodline article in main namespace

There is probably an article named Bloodline:Outpost Ducimemal in the main namespace that redirects to Outpost Ducimemal, which in turn redirects to the Bloodline namespaced Outpost Ducimemal. This is causing some confusion on the double redirects page. Is there any way to fix this? I can't seem to get at the mainspaced article to fix the redirect (though it would probably best be just to delete it). --Shagie 20:20, 6 November 2007 (EST)

Thanks, I've deleted Outpost Ducimemal, which was a redirect to Bloodline:Outpost Ducimemal since I added the namespace. I don't think Bloodline:Outpost Ducimemal redirects to anything. --Senso 22:27, 6 November 2007 (EST)

It now shows up in Special:BrokenRedirects. This page exists from prior to the bloodline namespace being created and thus was in the main namespace but is now effectively masked by the bloodline namespace article. --Shagie 13:32, 7 November 2007 (EST)

The MediaWiki manual has some instructions on dealing with this. --Peristarkawan 15:11, 7 November 2007 (EST)

Even easier: I've manually deleted the redirects in MySQL. --Senso 15:35, 7 November 2007 (EST)

Database wiredness

Since you've fixed this before...

Special:Special pages -> Orphaned Pages -> How do I stop my retarded miners falling in channels as they dig them?

This gets redirected to How do I stop miners from falling in channels as they dig them? - however, it is not the same one you go to if you hit that page directly or through the FAQ. --Shagie 18:52, 6 December 2007 (EST)

I'm looking into this. It seems that putting the '?' character in the title tends to break things.

Vandal

Hi. User:Billdauterive (contribs) keeps reverting the Goblin article to call them "pedophiles". Could you block his account or ban him, at least temporarily? After five edits it's just annoying. --Turgid Bolk 14:35, 12 December 2007 (EST)

I have reported it on SpamReport also, mirroring the old page on the old Wiki. If something like this happen again, should I come here to report it instead? --Eagle of Fire 15:24, 12 December 2007 (EST)

I'm watching both pages but I'd say SpamReport is better. I've warned the guy, I'll block him if he does it again. --Senso 15:32, 12 December 2007 (EST)

Just to make sure that you were aware of it, please take knowledge of this matter posted on the main DF forum: [[1]]. --Eagle of Fire 21:17, 1 January 2008 (EST)
