Underpopulated categories

Many categories in the DF2014 namespace don't list some of the pages that have the category link. An empty edit on a page (well, any edit) will correct this, but only for that page. This sounds like a job for a bot. VengefulDonut (talk) 19:00, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that's a cache problem, so I'll try rebuilding link tables on the server side and see if that helps (it would probably be a lot faster than sending a bot around to null-edit every page). —Lethosor (talk) 20:41, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Ceramic Industry page assistance.

(Message here) --DorfyDave (talk) 04:16, 24 August 2014 (UTC) Thanks for the help with the ceramic industry stuff.

I see what you are doing with the thumbnail workflows on other pages, so if you would rather it be small and let the reader expand it, that would be fine.

I was thinking that the pages looked better with the intro section before the regular content, keeping it separate from the auto TOC / Header listed content, but if you prefer that everything follow the layered header format, that's fine.

My primary concern was the wrapping caused by inserting the full-size flowchart next to a section. It looks like you've addressed that by splitting up the flowchart, which looks good to me. —Lethosor (talk) 15:48, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Removing/restoring Main:Fruit

Not that I am protesting it, but why exactly did you remove and then restore the Main:Fruit page? Because to me, all that happened now is that the creation entry on the page's history is gone, which isn't really anything notable either. --Latias1290 (talk) 13:03, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

I deleted it at first because I didn't realize AutoRedirect wasn't handling section redirects properly, then restored it when I noticed it was broken. That article's history still shows your revision, so I'm not sure what you mean - is it missing from Special:RecentChanges? —Lethosor (talk) 13:07, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

The creation entry I was talking about was actually the first entry, and the entry that is now the only one was the second before you removed it. When I created the page I first had it directly redirect to cv:Tree#Fruit, which after testing didn't work. I usually save the page when the preview doesn't show a red link and the link is correct, and after saving I test it, This time, however, the link in the preview was blue and correct, but actually following the redirect only led to cv:Tree instead of cv:Tree#Fruit. The entry you are seeing now is the result of fixing this by making it into a double redirect through cv:Fruit.

It looks to me like your first edit was to DF2014:Fruit - when Main:Fruit didn't exist, it would have automatically redirected to DF2014:Fruit, so it might have appeared to exist when it didn't. (The problem here is that I made AutoRedirect follow redirect chains internally, since Mediawiki's maximum-redirect setting is buggy, so a nonexistent Main:Fruit would actually redirect to what cv:Fruit redirects to - the problem is that it ignores sections at the moment, so section redirects will need to be manually created until I can fix that.) —Lethosor (talk) 13:18, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

settings-manager

I don't know where to put it because I don't have a github account and don't know if you have a personal thread for your scripts like the others, but couldn't you add a TEXT mode entry in line 116 of your settings-manager script? --78.250.50.116 04:40, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

I originally excluded it because it only works on Linux, but I'll add it back for Linux users. Thanks! —Lethosor (talk) 19:44, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Interesting glitch with redirects

I went to see what "Candy" was by going to a page named "Candy", and I found out that it meant Adamantine. But I saw that I got redirected to v0.34:Adamantine, which shouldn't happen seeing as mainspace redirects should always go to the cv namespace. So I went back to fix it, and I saw that main:Candy redirected to main:Adamantine, so I went there to fix it. But that page redirected properly to DF2014:Adamantine. This is where it gets interesting.

So when you go to main:Candy, you get redirected to main:Adamantine which in turn redirects to DF2014:Adamantine. But - for some reason, you don't get sent to DF2014:Adamantine, but to v0.34:Adamantine. Going to main:Adamantine in the first place redirects you to DF2014:Adamantine properly.

I have no idea how this happens, and since you maintain most of the wiki, I think you would be the right person to tell this to. --Latias1290 (talk) 13:42, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
