 MediaWiki's "Add Topic" feature bottom-posts by default, which is bad because I have the "Wikispaces Archive" section at the bottom thinking that new things would be top-posted. As a result, new topics are auto-added into the archive section.

+== Shotgun Banhammer Setting Too Wide ==
+Not sure if a PEBCAK, or wiki software issue, but:
+Mike Battaglia blocked me for one day, mistaking me for User:PiotrGrochowski's sockpuppet.
+I'm SO not that guy. I think the confusion is I created an account right around the time User:PiotrGrochowski was yelling at Kite.
+I like Kite, and we've exchanged emails and chatted.
+The notice said that my IP is blocked on the xen wiki, for "cursing at a member." I've never done that.
+I've done nothing but useful edits on there. No beef at all.
+Says it's because I have the same IP as User:PiotrGrochowski, which is impossible. I have no idea who that is.
+the IP it claims I have is 172.17.0.1, which is a router IP, not a public IP. Anyone can have the router IP of 172.17.0.1. In fact, it was probably showing MIKE'S local IP as that. lol.
+(I don't hide at all. I'm Michael Feen on Facebook, Michael W. Dean in the world, and I'm the guy from BipTunia music and maker of xen VSTs)
+: Can confirm. Mike, did you do a second ban? Or was it an auto-ban triggered by the sameness of IP address? [[User:Xenjacob|Xenjacob]] ([[User talk:Xenjacob|talk]]) 07:33, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
+: Confirmed. MediaWiki is grabbing the wrong IP address. I modified the block just now to remove the IP, so you should be good now. I will look into a fix for IP blocking. [[User:Tyler|Tyler]] ([[User talk:Tyler|talk]]) 08:28, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

+== Pages that get replaced by a blank page ==
+This bug seems to have started manifesting in the last 3(?) months, in which certain pages randomly disappear for long intervals, being replaced by a blank page having no HTML code.  This currently includes the EDO page and some specific EDO pages (currently 34EDO), as well as many rational intervals (including 3/2), and the Gallery of projective tuning space images.  I have so far found this to occur both on my 2011 iMac at home (I know, I need a new computer) with Firefox 115.7.0ESR, Safari 13.1.2 (13609.3.5.1.5), and Google Chrome (whatever the latest version supported with High Sierra is); on a 2021 iMac running MacOS Monterey with whatever the latest version of Safari is for that, and a PC (2017(?)-vintage) running Windows 10 with latest or nearly latest versions of Chrome, Edge, and Firefox (not ESR).  Both of the latter computers had never seen the Xenharmonic Wiki before, as had Chrome and Safari on my home 2011 iMac.  Clearing cache does not change the problem.  So far, it has NOT happened on my iPhone 14 under Safari, Chrome, or Firefox, although the problem might occur with more extensive testing.  On the computers on which the problem occurs, it occurs on the same pages (at least if tested within a short time of each other).
+I have found a couple of partial workarounds, plus another so newly discovered that I don't know yet whether it is partial.  The first workaround is to access a disappeared page from a Redirect, such as looking up 3/2 as "perfect fifth".  Of course, not all pages have a redirect that is known to me.  The second workaround is to manually alter the URL for a page to show the History page, such as https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=34edo?action=history and then clock on the most recent entry -- this usually works, but in some cases the History page itself becomes a blank page.  At long intervals, a page will reappear (this has happened with the EDO page and several specific EDO pages), but sometimes it will disappear again (which happened with the EDO page).  The third, which I could not test until early morning of 2024-02-12, is to be logged in (I just got this account); I also tested a set disappearing pages after logging out, and they start disappearing again; it is too early to say whether being logged in actually completely suppresses the problem.

+: Don't know how to do an actual proper fix, but I have noticed that issue is often fixed for whatever reason by appending a URL query string (?<whatever text>) to the URL, even if it does not actually have a function (like just putting some gibberish after the question mark).
+[[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]] ([[User talk:CompactStar|talk]]) 08:07, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
+: As far as I know, it's a problem with the server cache, and the server admin is currently looking into a more permanent solution. In the meantime, you can try clearing a page's cache manually by going to [[Special:Purge]] and typing in the name of the page that doesn't load properly. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 02:25, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

+== Visual editing not available for Discussion articles ==
+Visual editing seems to be not available for Discussion articles.  This is annoying when trying to copy and paste a piece of a table from an article into a Discussion article, and presumably would be even more of a problem when trying to copy a spreadsheet into a table in a Discussion article.  [[User:Lucius Chiaraviglio|Lucius Chiaraviglio]] ([[User talk:Lucius Chiaraviglio|talk]]) 06:32, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
+: This is more of a feature request than a bug, seeing as Wikipedia doesn't allow the visual editor in the discussion (talk) namespace, and it seems to be the default configuration for MediaWiki. Unsurprisingly, I have never experimented with the visual editor on a talk page, so I don't know whether it would work well there, with the standard format for talk pages and whatnot. In any case, as a workaround, you can temporarily use the source editor (with the "Edit source" button) to copy a table from a given page and paste it on a talk page. Similarly, you can paste a table from a spreadsheet into the visual editor into a user page or in the [[SandBox]], then use the source editor on that page to copy the table's wikitext source into the talk page. It might not be as efficient as just using the visual editor in the talk namespace directly, but it's likely that that would cause other issues which might need just as much time to work around. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 06:40, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
