Jade Sea collectors
When accessing this link for the Jade Sea general collectors: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/General_collectors_%28Jade_Sea%29

either directly or via the collectors page, internet explorer reports 'done' that it has loaded the page but the page is blank. This started approximately a week ago.

I have just purged my server cache in case that had something to do with it, but it remains blank.


 * I'm able to view the page in IE6 while logged in or not. No idea.  --Fyren 04:50, 20 October 2006 (CDT)

Cant go to next page in Builds lists
Page: Category:Untested_builds and Category:Unfavored_builds

Problem: I want to look up some warrior builds in these categories, but when I press "next 200" the page just refreshes instead of going to the next 200 builds. I dont know if it is an IE problem (I use IE). Its really annoying cus I cannot acces the warrior builds 145.116.8.16 14:06, 17 October 2006 (CDT)
 * This issue is identical to the Multi-page category not showing subsequent paged for logged-out account issue identified below. Current work around is to register an account and login, as the problem only exists for users who are not logged in. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 14:21, 17 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Ok thank you, I didnt see that

Can't edit pages!
Page: All

Problem: Whenever I try to edit any pages (talk pages, article pages, my userspace pages, anything), I get the following message, in red (line split is just for readability): Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in. (This appears where the preview warning would appear if I hit "preview" instead of saving.)

I can't use my account. At all!

Comments: Needless to say, logging out and logging back in doesn't do anything. I've tried this on various pages, I've tried this with minor turned on/off, I've tried it with preview and without. Looks like my account is just borked. I didn't change anything since my last successful edit.
 * Looking at the bug report above mine, it seems to be the same issue. &mdash; 130.58 (talk) 03:43, 12 October 2006 (CDT) //  130.58.235.187 03:43, 12 October 2006 (CDT)
 * At the very bottom of each page I view the followng error message appears:
 * Warning: Unknown: write failed: No space left on device (28) in Unknown on line 0
 * Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct in Unknown on line 0
 * No space left on device? Is the HD on our server full? -- Tetris L
 * In any case, what's weird is that anonymous users are still able to edit while registered ones aren't. -- Tetris L

I pages aren't loading for me either, I need to get at them through edit or history :/ 212.158.245.101/Skuld 06:38, 12 October 2006 (CDT)

There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Please hit "back" and reload the page you came from, then try again.

 * The insufficient disk space remark was, according to Fyren, caused by the PHP's sever being full, not the Wiki DB server itself. This is why the articles could be edited, but registered users could not edit. The server was trying to update our cookies with session data but could not due to lack of space. Not sure if it's fully solved or partially solved or whatever. --Karlos 13:06, 12 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Has not been resolved yet! I still can't edit from my account. In addition, many articles display a blank page, this one included. I managed to work around this by calling edit link manually. 84.164.122.129 06:30, 13 October 2006 (CDT)

Mysterious Build Deletion
Page: N/Any Conditioning Minion Master

Problem: I made this build two days ago, and now, it seems, it's gone! There is no history of it ever being deleted, and the only hope I see of getting it back is going through ALL that work again to do so...

Comments: I checked this build and it was in the Untested Builds category before I left it. I don't think it was in the sandbox when it was wiped.

 * I just logged out and went to Category:Glossary; when I clicked "Next 200" the screen didn't roll forward to the next page of entries.
 * When I logged back in and went to that page, clicking "Next 200" did change to the next page of entries. Some sort of weird chaching problem, but only appears when not logged in for some reason.  Not sure if anyone else is seeing this though, or if it's just me. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 23:28, 13 July 2006 (CDT)
 * I have this problem - I don't have an account, and find I can't move from page to page on the Glossary; it simply redisplays the data from the first page. I've found this happens with both Firefox 1.5.x and IE 6 on multiple machines. I'm not sure how to purge the page, so I can't test that from here but clearing my browser cache doesn't seem to make a difference. 80.5.160.25 16:56, 17 July 2006 (CDT)

False Ban Message (Spam Filter?)
Page: all

Problem: If a user not logged in makes two edits within short time he will receive a message that his IP has been banned. But that is not true. If you wait a while, then try again, you can edit just fine. This is probably caused by some kind of spam filter.

Spam-prevention is wonky
Argh, what a pain in the hinie. The spam-prevention thingy that stops edits from going through also clears the Summary, so I had a nice round of he-said-she-said with the system because I'd fill out the summary, submit, get the spam-protection challenge instead, fill that out, submit, get the "you forgot the summary"-reminder, fill out the summary again, get a new spam-protection challenge... etc, etc. ad nauseum. --Bishop (rap|con) 12:19, 6 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Looking into this! Thanks. Gravewit 17:07, 6 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Also note that the spam blocker is triggered by previews, and that it resets not only the summary but also the "This is a minor edit" checkbox. It has happened to me soooooo many times that I finished writing an article, hit preview, check it again quickly and find no errors, then hit submit and get the anti-spam message, which means that I have to re-type my summary to re-check the minor edit tickbox. Very annyoing. --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 04:47, 21 June 2006 (CDT)

Yet another Search problem
Page: The search page, Pei the Skull Blade and probably many more.

Problem: The page is not showing up in the Search window for the following search strings: "pei", "pei the blade", "pei blade" and a few more.

Comments: I'm not sure wether this is a bug, but if the page is not showing up if you type the first name of a mob, it totally defeats the purpose of having a search function...

Submitted By: ~ Nilles (chat) 09:59, 25 June 2006 (CDT)


 * As I see it you'll only get an Article Title Match if you've typed in the whole article's name correctly. If you search for say "Pei's Blades" which is contained in the article, it'll get a Page Text Match. Unfortunately the term "Pei the Skull Blade" isn't contained in Pei the Skull Blade, it's just the articles' title. Also notice that it's "Pei's Blades" and so searching for Pei is no good either, although searching for "Pei's" will generate a Page Text Match. --Xasxas256 10:12, 25 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I added the text "Pei the Skull Blade" within the article Pei the Skull Blade, still no good on the search; although there may be an indexing routine that needs to run at a scheduled time before it will work.
 * Oddly, searching for "skull blade" or "pei skull blade" does result in a valid search result. But searching for "pei blade" it's not on the first page of results, but is the 36th match in the Article title matches.  This suggests to me that the word "Pei" is not being treated as a searchable term, but is instead ignored much like common words like "have" and "from", which are not indexed.  --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 11:54, 25 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Perhaps words of length three or less aren't indexed. --68.142.14.40 12:05, 25 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Maybe. But as for the wiki, I think it should index all words from page titles except for dictionary words (like "the", "on", "to", "and"). ~ Nilles (chat) 06:12, 26 June 2006 (CDT)


 * By default MySQL does not fulltext index words under 4 characters in length. See the mysql manual:
 *  Some words are ignored in full-text searches:
 * Any word that is too short is ignored. The default minimum length of words that are found by full-text searches is four characters.
 * Words in the stopword list are ignored. A stopword is a word such as “the” or “some” that is so common that it is considered to have zero semantic value. There is a built-in stopword list, but it can be overwritten by a user-defined list.

Minor bugs
Quote from section above: [...] template:R not displaying on pages where it's included even though the icon shows when you view the template itself; Link on left toolbar to "Report a Bug" is missing [...] --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:19, 17 July 2006 (CDT)

&mdash; Galil  16:23, 17 July 2006 (CDT)


 * More on Template R, if you include that template like this it wont show, it also will not appear in the list of used templates when the page is edited or previewed. However if you do  it includes the template correctly and the icon will show up. --Draygo Korvan (Yap) 14:47, 18 July 2006 (CDT)


 * I noticed that too. Maybe deleting that template and recreating it might work. --Ab.Er.Rant @ User:Aberrant80 (msg) 05:27, 19 July 2006 (CDT)


 * Scope out Template talk:R, it appears to be a "feature" of the new MediaWiki if I'm reading PanSola's post correctly, so recreating it will make no difference and Skuld seems to agree. --Xasxas256 05:36, 19 July 2006 (CDT)
 * From my understanding of multiple threads on the issue: It appears that is a reserved template character in v1.7.1, which would explain why it worked before the upgrade and not now.  You can get around this by either using lowercase  or adding a pipe after the uppercase R , the simplest being to use lowercase r. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 14:31, 19 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Since this seems to be a "bug" that's here to stay, I changed the ProfessionsNavBox template so all ProfessionIcon Template calls are lowercase. This obviously fixes the ranger icon not showing up, and in my opinion adds consistency. I don't particularly like the idea of one style being used for a single profession, and another being used for every other one. By changing the norm used from here on out and patching the old pages, both consistency and functionality can be maintained. However - this would amount to no small amount of edits, and before I bother to go any further with them I figure I'll see if anybody has any objections to changes on this scale. --Kwisatz 23:48, 20 July 2006 (CDT)
 * template is buggy, it become a Plat, instaed of Paragon--heach 03:58, 28 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Technically, that's not a bug - it's a design issue. The  template has been in use since November of last year as a symbol for platinum.  Within the last week or two there has been discussion, and within the last couple of days the platinum symbol was moved to Plat instead of P.  The P sysmbol will catch up, it's just taking time.  Items in use for months take time to modify everyplace they're used. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 08:12, 28 July 2006 (CDT)

"GuildWiki has a problem"
Page: Random pages

Problem: When I click on a wiki-link I get returned to the main page. ( the URL displayed in the address bar is of the page I wanted to visit.)

When this happens the main page has text that is larger than normal. At the very top it says "GuildWiki has a problem". This is partially obscured by the "article" and "discussion" tabs ( they are drawn over the lower portion of the text "GuildWiki has a problem") there is also 2 copies of the Guild Wiki Logo displayed, they over lap with one to the left and up a small amount compared to the other.

If i click on refresh the problem normally clears and the desired page is displayed.

 * It's been around since the upgrade to MediaWiki 1.7.1, but it's gotten more common it seems. My assumption is that it couldn't write to the database due to too many doing this at once. About edits though, it should be safe to re-submit if this happens. It should tell you that someone has edited the page since you started, and show you what edits he/she has done. Then it's just a matter of comparing your own edit, and the "new" edit. &mdash; Galil  10:49, 3 August 2006 (CDT)


 * The GuildWiki's traffic currently exceeds the capabilities of our hardware. We are looking into caching technology, as well as the purchase of another server, to help solve this problem. There is currently no ETA on a fix. The problem is most prevalent during peak times&mdash;roughly noon to evening, American time&mdash;so if you can visit during other times of the day, the problem shouldn't impact you as much. &mdash;Tanaric 19:05, 19 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Sounds good, cause this is getting unbearable. It seems to me the biggest issue isn't the php parsing though. It's the MySQL server being too busy. You often get "Database error" when trying to edit something, and visiting the blog shortly after tends to give you "Too many connections", where connections is referring to database connections. So I think it won't be as bad if you increase the maximum amount of concurrent connections to the database in my.conf. &mdash; Galil  14:55, 29 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Edit: Also, according to the blog, the mysql server is currently running only one thread. The optimal amount for busy servers is . &mdash; Galil   15:03, 29 August 2006 (CDT)

Problem: Whenever going to the above page, either by link, or directly typing it into the browser, it shows a variant of the page http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Handsmasher

 * This seems to be the same broblem described above under Software_and_technical_issues/Bugs. When logged in, I cannot reproduce the error.  But, when logged out from my account, going to http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Mo/any_Spirit_Bonder produces the error that you described. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 11:25, 26 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I've uploaded a screen capture of the results after going to the referenced article when not logged-in. Note the odd over-lapping of two articles.  Handsmasher is visible in the body, but clicking on the tabs can result in going to either a page for Handsmasher or a page for Image:Check Box.JPG. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 11:35, 26 August 2006 (CDT)


 * There also seems to be some information relating to a game update in there! Using the webdeveloper extension for Firefox and linearizing the page you can see the following text:


 * 1)  Fixed a bug that caused henchmen and certain NPCs to run incorrectly into the midst of combat.
 * 2) Fixed a bug that caused Obsidian Keys and Phantom Keys to stop dropping in the Fissure of Woe and the Underworld.
 * 3) Fixed a bug that allowed players to earn Gladiator Title points in Zaishen arenas.
 * 4) Fixed a bug that prevented teams smaller than 4 from entering the Team Arena.
 * 5) Fixed a bug that prevented some teams from entering the Heroes' Ascent tournament.


 * And there's more after that. 80.192.2.227 11:42, 26 August 2006 (CDT) (LordBiro logged out).


 * It's Game_updates/20060801. 80.192.2.227 11:43, 26 August 2006 (CDT) (Me again).
 * Aonther example: When you click on the link to Aeson, the site comes up with the stub for the image of Miko the Unchained instead of the stub for the henchman Aeson
 * I tested this as a signed-in user and could not replicate the problem - so it's likely also restricted only to non-signed in accounts, which is why I merged it with the issue just before it. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 09:21, 28 August 2006 (CDT)
 * While not logged in, purging the MW cache "fixes" the problem. But I still have no idea what causes it.  This seems very strange based on what I know about MediaWiki.  --Fyren 10:31, 28 August 2006 (CDT)

Missing double quote in monobook skin
Page: All, if using the monobook skin.

Problem: In the HTML that's generated,  is missing a double quote after portlet.

Comments: I remember this coming up long ago. I think Skuld might have reported it. But, I can't find mention here or on the resolved page. Maybe someone knows where it was?

 * Just for reference, the div in question is the one containing the Specialty Fansite logo in the toolbar, which for some reason won't even show up in the W3C validator any longer. &mdash; Galil  15:10, 29 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Edit: Actually, that isn't so odd after all. The real oddity is that the speciality logo doesn't show up if you're not logged on. &mdash; Galil  15:13, 29 August 2006 (CDT)

 * Are you still receiving this error? I've been unable to reproduce it myself.  Roughly when did it happen?  I'm wondering if the server was experiencing other problems at the time; if so, the server seems back to normal now, so all may be okay at this point. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 17:46, 4 October 2006 (CDT)
 * It's working fine now. It happened around the time I posted the bug, as well as about 5 or 6 days ago when I first visited DWH. Fission Xuiptz 02:46, 5 October 2006 (CDT)

 * It was Image:MDT MAP OF TYRIA 100% Post Arena Closing.jpg, deleted it anyway &mdash; Skuld 15:02, 5 October 2006 (CDT)

Cookie issues?
Page: Various

Problem: Cookie issues/Unable to edit, php error at the foot of the page

Comments: I'm unable to edit on my account, and sometimes the IP won't work. It gives the "sorry, session data lost, please log in" message in red at the top. I've tried clearing cookies, cache etc, tried a different network, no luck. Just tried to change my skin from monobook to simple and it won't save it.


 * Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in.

 * If your school is using a proxy, it might be doing bad things to your cookie. If you're not using the "remember me" checkbox when logging in, try it.  I can't find any other information about a solution.  By PHP error, do you mean the session data message or something else?  --Fyren 03:32, 12 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I fixed this by login out and submiting the change 210.50.200.90 13:27, 12 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Why not just enable the cookies or disable the proxy :S -Onlyashadow 13:33, 12 October 2006 (CDT)


 * This was a syndrome of the can't edit pages bug way up on the top of the page. --Karlos 13:37, 12 October 2006 (CDT)


 * I'm having the same problem. I'm not using a proxy, cookies are disabled, I logged out and logged back in, I checked off the remember me box, I think I've done all I can on my end. -- Gordon Ecker 19:48, 12 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Now I can edit when logged in, but some pages, such as hero and game updates, won't load properly. Some pages show up completely blank, others show up with this:
 * A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
 * (SQL query hidden)
 * from within function "MediaWikiBagOStuff::_doinsert". MySQL returned error "1062: Duplicate entry 'zeroliv_db5:pcache:idhash:1162-0!1!0!0!!en!2' for key 1 (208.100.1.138)".
 * Yesterday I was having the problem with both IE and Firefox, but now it only seems to be affecting Firefox. -- Gordon Ecker 17:34, 13 October 2006 (CDT)
 * And the glitch appears to have been resolved. -- Gordon Ecker 04:04, 18 October 2006 (CDT)

I lost mini Rurik
I was cruising and killing imps outside of LA and then those imps killed me and the miniature Rurik dropped from my inventory for anyone in my party to pick it up and they did. Is there any way i can get my fortune back? Should i write to NC Soft or something?

Exhastion Icons
Page: Elementalist skills quick reference

Problem: Im not sure if anyone has the same problem but the exhastion icons are not there anymore for any skill that causes exhastion. Possibly a web browser issue on my side.
