Well done and thank you

German interlanguage table
The German GuildWiki staff have provided a copy of their interwiki table at http://www.guildwiki.de/vorlage-en.txt. Do you think you could bot the reverse interlanguage links onto GuildWiki? --◄mendel► 15:03, 3 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Wow. o_o Yeah, I can do that, just can't promise when I'll have time for it.  Poke me if I don't get to it by next Friday.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 15:16, 3 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, documenting the problem:
 * I can connect to the API, and action=query request work fine, but whenever I try action=edit&nocreate=1 (so it won't create a page that didn't previously exist), I get a 'missingtitle' error. When I leave nocreate undefined, the result is that the page Api.php gets created.
 * I can run action=edit&nocreate=1 on my local MediaWiki install successfully.
 * If $wgEnableWriteAPI is turned off on my local wiki, then I get a 'noapiwrite' error instead.
 * So it looks like the write API is enabled here, but something else is causing an error. I get the same results whether I'm using Perl's MediaWiki::API module or cURL.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 04:09, 4 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I'd forgotten that AWB actually uses the API as well. And so does pywikipedia, which I looked into last night.  Which means we are completely borked for automated editing right now.  There is an old Perl module that doesn't use the API, but it probably wouldn't work correctly with the current version of MW.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 19:01, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Image redirects
Why don't they work? mw:Manual:$wgFileRedirects suggests that they ought to. --◄mendel► 16:48, 4 December 2010 (UTC)


 * "Removed in version: 	1.13.0" I've checked the source code - when parsing redirects, it specifically checks that the current namespace is not NS_FILE.  Wikia hacked the MW code to re-enable them, but we shouldn't follow their example.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 17:00, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Humble Request
To celebrate the move here on Curse, i'd like to improve my userspace to higher standards: Can i borrow some code from your userpage to better customize mine? Sotaknuck 16:52, 4 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Of course. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 17:33, 4 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you! It looks and feels much better now! Sotaknuck 10:01, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Images
Whenever you get the chance, upload your skill icons that have no borders to mediafire or something in a archive (.7z would be great, highest compression rate, and less loss), I don't need names. Just keep em sorted by skill ID#. It's actually easier because without names windows can't flip out @ forbidded characters in filenames :) Thanks :) (also: pick any profession) &mdash; Scythe   20:44, 5 Dec 2010 (UTC)
