Forum:MediaWiki Software Upgrade Bugs

So here's the deal, for those of you who aren't aware, Wikia is undergoing an upgrade of the MediaWiki software from the currently used 1.16 to 1.19. Now, as many people know, when you have upgrades, you get bugs. And for those of us more tech savvy, when you use the base code, and then heavily modify it, you get even more. Wikia uses a very heavily modified version of the MediaWiki software to run all of its wikis because of all the features it runs.

Now, I started this forum because many wikis, including some of the largest, are reporting a lot of bugs, so having them all centralized is probably a good idea. Wookieepedia is apparently one of the big ones and has a pretty big list, so I'm taking a few things from them.

You can read about the upgrade above in the link, report issues below, and discuss below.

List of Bugs
Report any bugs associated with Wikia, not the Mass Effect Series here. Please use a "*" to start. List where the bug is (with a link if possible), what feature, what is happening, if expanding on another one use "**", and finally list who is reporting it. If you can see something that you were going to report, then there is no need to report it again. Just list in the discussion section that you are experiencing it as well. If the problem was resolved, then please note that in the discussion section.


 * Recent Changes. Javascript to collapse multiple edits is no longer present or not working. Lancer1289 (talk) 16:59, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * History Function. Large white boxes around revision comparison and edit summaries, makes text unreadable without highlighting it. Lancer1289 (talk) 16:59, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

AJAX Feature
Since the AJAX feature, used to auto update our RC and Wiki Activity pages is not supported by Wikia, we'll have to keep an eye on it and upgrade it manually. Any users who experience a problem with this feature should contact an admin immediately and we will look into it. Lancer1289 (talk) 16:59, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
