| === Scala file pages ===
| |
| * Pages that are scala files need to be wrapped in code blocks and have extra line breaks removed. (EDIT: yes, I will be doing this automatically -- stay "tuned" :) )[[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 17:27, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| ** There are a whole lot of these pages! Is there a way to do this (semi-)automatically? Or at least to generate a list of, say, all pages that contain ".scl"? To complicate matters further, some pages contain multiple .scl files (and no other content). Another option (not sure if better or worse) would be to transfer these .scl-only pages to actual files. Thoughts? I'm happy to help, just not sure of the best way to proceed... [[User:Spt3125|Spt3125]] ([[User talk:Spt3125|talk]]) 03:19, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| *** Yes, I'll be doing this automatically, it's on my list -- no way we're doing this by hand and this is a simple regex job. Edited above to make clearer... -- [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]])
| |
| *** These pages have use in people clicking Random page and seeing random interesting tunings. [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 04:22, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| **** It may be worth looking into excluding the Scala files from Random page results, maybe using something like [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ExcludeRandom Extension:ExcludeRandom]. --[[User:Tyler|Tyler]] ([[User talk:Tyler|talk]]) 13:03, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| ***** But whyyyy? The fanmade tunings only make [[Special:Random]] even better, inspiring people to use the tunings! [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 13:05, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| ****** Heh, if you *like* having the Scala files in random pages, might as well keep them. But, just thinking, maybe we could create a "Random tuning" link right below it... :) [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 13:48, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| ******* How could we have split random page generators in MediaWiki? [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 16:27, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| ******** We could put them in a category like "Scala files", as [[User:Spt3125]] suggests, and then there are MediaWiki extensions like [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Random_In_Category this] that let you get a random page from a category. [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 06:23, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| ****** Sorry, I misread your comment and thought it was a complaint. Ignore me. [[User:Tyler|Tyler]] ([[User talk:Tyler|talk]]) 13:51, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| **** Excellent, thanks Mike! If that regex job can include adding a category such as "Scala files" or "scl" to those pages, that would be very useful i think. Some pages already have these ("tags" from Wikispaces), but many do not. [[User:Spt3125|Spt3125]] ([[User talk:Spt3125|talk]]) 00:44, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| * Random thought: what about moving them to, say, <code>scl.xen.wiki</code>? Not sure if this would be good or bad...? [[User:Spt3125|Spt3125]] ([[User talk:Spt3125|talk]]) 00:44, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| ** Making a whole new wiki would be a lot of infrastructure work - would be much easier to just make a category for them, as you mention. Shouldn't be too difficult with regex, just a lot of other stuff to get finished first... [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 06:23, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| ** If we want to go this route, maybe it makes more sense to remove them as pages, and upload them as files? Essentially these .scl things are config files for Scala, not wiki pages. There could be a wiki page which contains a directory of uploaded .scl files including descriptions, related pages, etc. Someone can always make a wiki page about a scale which links to an .scl file, if they want to. [[User:Tyler|Tyler]] ([[User talk:Tyler|talk]]) 12:51, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| *** Whatever we do, I think the main use case should be on making it easy for people to create and add new Scala files, in the future. [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 16:17, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

| === Move Spanish pages to es.xen.wiki ===
| |
| * [[P%C3%A1ginas_en_espa%C3%B1ol]] - i rounded up all the '''es''' pages i could find (not many) and linked them all here. Perhaps these could be moved to <code>es.xen.wiki</code>? [[User:Spt3125|Spt3125]] ([[User talk:Spt3125|talk]]) 01:30, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| ** Also: [[日本語のページ_(pages_in_Japanese)]] [[User:Spt3125|Spt3125]] ([[User talk:Spt3125|talk]]) 01:59, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| *** Yes, we mentioned this on the Facebook forums [https://www.facebook.com/groups/xenwiki/permalink/2119768318289161/ here]. Basically, the Spanish pages should be spun off and merged into es.xen.wiki. It would also be good to move the "Purdal" pages from purdal.xen.wiki into es.xen.wiki. The Japanese pages should also be spun off into jp.xen.wiki. But we will need someone who speaks these languages to lead the process; I know no Japanese at all and only know basic Spanish. If you would like to help with this, we would be very grateful! [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 06:30, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| *** BTW - let's make sure we are putting new bugs at the top in the "Current" section, not in "Done" below. I don't know if this should be here or [[Wikifuture]], but whatever... [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 06:30, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

| === Re-add organizers ===
| |
| * Organizers need to be put back from the old Wiki. We're working on this now as people sign up, but wanted to make a note of it. [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 06:51, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| === "IMPORTDEBUG" category - changing external images ===
| |
| * MediaWiki doesn't quite support external images in the same way that Wikispaces did. There are a few pages with external image links that need to be changed. More on the situation here: [[:Category:IMPORTDEBUG_-_Change_External_Images|Category:IMPORTDEBUG - Change External Images]] - 07:23, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| === Calculators/JavaScript is broken ===
| |
| * Pages like [[Just Intonation -- EDO calculator]] render catastrophically incorrectly. [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 15:56, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| ** Hi <s>Petr</s>Piotr - yes, unfortunately MediaWiki doesn't support JavaScript. There are three or four "calculator" pages that have broken as a result. We may be able to add some of this back in using Templates, but for now, this is unfortunately one of the (few) things that Wikispaces was able to do that MediaWiki doesn't support. [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 16:31, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| *** Why did you misspell my name, <s>... Miek</s>Mike? [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]])
| |
| **** Oops - was talking to someone named "Petr" on Facebook at the same time, and I got my Petr's and my Piotr's mixed up... :) [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 16:51, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| *** The talk page has a link for a webpage that ''almost'' works, but fails when numbers are entered. [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 18:41, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| **** If someone wants to create a version of this that works as a standalone page, maybe we can host it and then link to it from the wiki. [[User:Tyler|Tyler]] ([[User talk:Tyler|talk]]) 13:34, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| **** @Piotr - Yeah, this is because there's no JavaScript, since MediaWiki is HTML only. I think [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Widgets this "Widgets" plugin] is what we will need. I'm not sure if [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates#CSS_and_JavaScript_code Templates] will also work, but [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Adding_javascript_to_wiki_pages maybe]. [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 16:00, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| *****Did you see that webpage in [[Talk:Just Intonation -- EDO calculator]] with the "almost working" behavior? That's a copy of the HTML code given. [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 16:06, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

| === ReplaceText blasts away the recent changes ===
| |
| * Uhhhh... yeah. Oops. If we use this again, probably better to have it not add the changes to the recent log. We now have like 250 ReplaceText entries from me trying to make the Talk archives clearer. Sorry about that -- you can still see changes from before this if you scroll down. Yikes... [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 07:03, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| ** FWIW, you can see the RecentChanges if you set it to show the last 500: [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&limit=500] [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 07:05, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| ** Maybe you can run ReplaceText as a bot user? It's really easy to hide bot changes when looking at Special:RecentChanges. I think they are hidden by default. [[User:Tyler|Tyler]] ([[User talk:Tyler|talk]]) 13:24, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| === Map ===
| |
| | |
| * What's up with "[[Map]]"? [[User:Spt3125|Spt3125]] ([[User talk:Spt3125|talk]]) 02:09, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| **A placeholder article that happened to emphasize on showing what links to it. Redirects to special pages do not have reversing links, so a depressed person can have their talk page say <code><pre>#REDIRECT [[Special:BlankPage]]</pre></code>. [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 04:28, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| *** Piotr: I think the page on Mappings you are looking for already exists, it's here: [[Mappings]] [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 06:25, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| *** I created a redirect from [[Map]] -> [[Mappings]], since this is what I think was intended... Moving this back to "Done" [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 06:33, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

| === Flawed Languages links ===
| |
| * In the Deutsch version https://de.xen.wiki/w/Willkommen, the left Languages links link to websites that are out of tune. [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]])
| |
| ** The English link is slightly out of tune, linking to [[Home]] instead of the actual Main Page. The Xenharmonicの世界へ 日本語 link is very out of tune, being a broken link. [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 18:58, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| *** Working now - [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 22:32, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| **** The "Xenharmonicの世界へ 日本語" link is still very out of tune, being a broken link. The Español links are weird: they link to pages in en.xen.wiki, while es.xen.wiki has no Languages links. [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 04:36, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| ***** Huh? The Japanese link on the German wiki works for me, it goes to [http://en.xen.wiki/w/%E3%82%88%E3%81%86%E3%81%93%E3%81%9D%EF%BC%81Xenharmonic%E3%81%AE%E4%B8%96%E7%95%8C%E3%81%B8]. Maybe it reloaded in the background and hasn't changed for you yet? Sometimes caching issues can lead to your browser (or the site) displaying an older version of a page. [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 13:50, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
| |
| ******It works because you fixed it! [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 16:43, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

| === SVG broken ===
| |
| * SVG's not displaying correctly. Got this working before, let's see what I can do... [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 17:11, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

| ** Now works. [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 17:27, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

| === "Content Pages" ===
| |
