| − | == Why is the "Robo Wiki" icon in the upper left corner so small? ==
| + | For old discussion, see [[Archived talk:Main Page 20110903]]. |
| − | The headline speaks for itself. --[[User:Awesomeness|Awesomeness]] 21:08, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

| − | == Does robo rumble work? ==
| |
| − | hi im new to robocode, been doing it as part of my uni course and i was wondering, is it possible to run roborumble at home anymore because ive follwed the instructions and none of the battles ive been doing have been uploading.... [[User:Quietus|Quietus]] 15:47, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Yep! It sure as he heck still works! The thing is, the rumble.fervir.com server has been kind of broken for a while. You need to point your client at [http://darkcanuck.net/rumble/ this URL] instead now (See [[Darkcanuck/RRServer|here]] for more information). There's new fanciness in that server too :) --[[User:Rednaxela|Rednaxela]] 19:48, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

| − | == Article count ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | A couple questions about the article count (after having some trouble Googling for answers). First, why isn't it updating automatically? Is that something I can trigger to update, or add to the "job queue", does anyone know? (Notice if you edit / preview it is higher than 43, which it reads on the main page right now.) Second, what qualifies as an "article"? Is there a minimum length that a page needs to be (other than not being a user or talk page) to qualify as an article? --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 19:56, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
| |
| − | :The main page just updated, it now says 48 articles. Also, the statistics page says that there are 145 pages total, but it is excluding, "talk pages, pages about RoboWiki, minimal 'stub' pages, redirects, and others that probably don't qualify as content pages." --[[User:AaronR|AaronR]] 20:00, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | According to the MediaWiki wiki (now that's a mouthful), the main page will come up to date as soon as its HTML cache is invalidated, at which point all of the templates, etc. will be transcluded again. Don't know if that helps... --[[User:AaronR|AaronR]] 20:27, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

| − | == Font size ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Just out of curiosity, why is the font size so large here compared to, say, Wikipedia? I know, I know, it's the same as the old wiki's font, but that wiki didn't have a sidebar. --[[User:AaronR|AaronR]] 07:04, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | : Primarily because I thought "x-small" was just too small, and yes, it was also just sooo much smaller than the old wiki. I also figured that with the skins options, we could easily give people more choices to choose their own style, anyway. I will confess that tiny fonts for the sake of sleeker designs is a major pet peeve of mine. :-P --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 07:12, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

| − | == Smileys :-) ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I would be relly nice if we could somehow support smile, e.g. just as simple as stating:

| − | | |
| − | Wikimedia Commons has a [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Smiley whole section] of GFDL'd or public domain smileys (look at the link at the bottom for more). I don't really see the point though. If you want to upload them and use them, feel free, but I'll stick with =) on the wiki. --<code>[[User:AaronR|AaronR]]</code> 01:21, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

| − | == Maths Markup ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Is it possible to turn on the math rendering like on Wikipedia? Sometimes, a properly rendered maths formula is easier to understand than the java code implementing it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For example, have a look at some of the non-java code on the [[Circular_Targeting/Walkthrough|Circular Targeting Walkthrough]]. Now imagine how less understandable it would be without the sigmas and integral signs. Currently, they are just off-site images. This is not ideal--if the images get moved/deleted, the page would break. | |

| − | == Old wiki ==
| |
| − | The old wiki is not working (error 500), and so my roborumble client (it cannot find the list of partecipants), but i see many client is uploading. What is your solution?
| |
| − | --[[User:Lestofante|Lestofante]] 10:35, 1 Dic 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | The clients currently running are just using the last copy of the participants list they downloaded from the old wiki. I emailed PEZ a bit ago and got a reply that he'll look into it so hopefully the old wiki will be up again in not too long. If that ends up taking longer than expected though, we could update/fix the participants page on the new wiki and point clients at that instead. (Note: Don't point clients at the one on the new wiki just yet, it's out of date and such. It needs to be copied over from a downloaded copy of the list from the old wiki) --[[User:Rednaxela|Rednaxela]] 12:00, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | maybe we can drop definitely the old wiki for roborumble client, or better every ramble server can implements it's own participants list, maybe integrated with general wiki list
| |
| − | --[[User:Lestofante|Lestofante]] 15:13, 1 Dic 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'd agree that migrating to using the new wiki participants list would be good, though I think some more veteran wikiers/rumblers than myself should give their input before any such switch is made 'official'. As far as keeping a participants list with the rumble server, well, there's only one working rumble server at the moment so I'm not sure what good that would do, and furthermore multiple rumble server would be a bad thing I think becacuse it would divide the processing power that goes towards making the battles. --[[User:Rednaxela|Rednaxela]] 17:47, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | That's right, then I thing the server have to had a mirror of the wiki's official participants list, so in this case we can continue run our client, simple we cannot modify the list (if the two list are not synchronize together)
| |
| − | --[[User:Lestofante|Lestofante]] 21:49, 1 Dic 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Yeah, the real problem is getting the participants list from the currently-erroring wiki. The RR client has no problem parsing the new wiki format. I may be able to get that from the RoboWiki server when I get home (if it isn't fixed before then).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The other issue we might encounter in the future would be when we move this wiki to robowiki.net, and we have RR clients pointing to testwiki.roborumble.org, but I don't think forwarding that URL and/or having people update their clients would be a big issue. I'm glad you contacted PEZ about the old wiki's current problems, I've been out of touch for at least a week...

| − | == mailer error ==
| |
| − | I'm trying to confirm my user e-mail, but I still get "mailer error". I've tried 3 different and working address... and there is a way for automatically sign the edits?
| |
| − | --[[User:Lestofante|Lestofante]] 22:00, 1 Dic 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | : I couldn't get the mailer to work either, but you can easily sign your edits using <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>. See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cheatsheet for more tricks. --[[User:Darkcanuck|Darkcanuck]] 03:13, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

| − | == InterWiki Links ==
| |
| − | Who have fully access to this server apart from [[David Alves]]? I want both my thai wiki and this wiki a inter-languages link.

| − | | |
| − | I have full access, or at least I do if I can remember the password. =) I'll see about logging in and taking a look at the InterWiki stuff. Sorry it took so long to respond about this. --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 14:50, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

| − | | |
| − | Hey Voidious, I believed that the SQL will take less than 1 seconds to copy/past/execute. Plus login/connecting time I think this can be accomplished within a minute so please do asap (or I must say NOW). » <span style="font-size:0.9em;color:darkgreen;">[[User:Nat|Nat]] | [[User_talk:Nat|Talk]]</span> » 16:19, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hey Nat - I will add the InterWiki link because I'd like to support your efforts to start a Thai Robocode community and wiki. But I really don't appreciate being commanded to do that (or much of anything, really), and especially to do so "NOW". Please keep in mind the RoboWiki's only rule: "Pretty please be polite." --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 18:48, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Cool, I read up on the InterWiki stuff, added your Thai wiki to the database, and posted a link on the main page. As I can't read Thai, please make sure that looks right and edit it if necessary. =) --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 22:54, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

| − | Sorry for that rude. But anyways, thank you very much. The link at main page is correct. » <span style="font-size:0.9em;color:darkgreen;">[[User:Nat|Nat]] | [[User_talk:Nat|Talk]]</span> » 01:37, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

| − | == Database error ==
| |
| − | I didn't know where to put this, but here seems like a decent spot. All my posts are getting this message today (4 times, probably 5 with this one), the posts are still uploaded but the message is:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | 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 "SearchMySQL4::update".
| |
| − | MySQL returned error "126: Incorrect key file for table './wikidb/searchindex.MYI'; try to repair it (localhost)".
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | I don't know if ''localhost'' is meant to be from mine point of view, or the server's. Maybe someone else is getting the same messages, I haven't tried to logout/in, because I just thought of that. --[[User:Zyx|zyx]] 23:47, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
| |
| − | : Just like when you go to the mechanic, I didn't get the message this time. Another piece of information may be that all the other 4 posts where at [[Talk:PwnBot]], so maybe the problem relies in that page. --[[User:Zyx|zyx]] 23:49, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :: I found some mentions of people hitting this, and it sounds like a "repair table" SQL command is the remedy. I've run that now, so hopefully it's fixed. Can you let me know if it happens again? Thanks, --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 00:31, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ::: Just got it again, and again in the same page [[Talk:PwnBot]]. --[[User:Zyx|zyx]] 20:45, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :::: Thanks for the info. I saw it as well when I posted the downtime note. I'm guessing the server crashing corrupted the searchindex table -- I'll rerun the "repair table" and post here when I do. I'll also be backing up the database very soon. --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 20:52, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

| − | ::Is it... My fault?! I created that page. It seems whenever I change a page I get it too. It doesn't matter what page I go to. Also, for the majority of today, (for me at least) it seems your server has been down. I've been unable to connect. --[[User:Awesomeness|Awesomeness]] 22:04, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ::: It's not your fault, and I saw it on another page too. The server went down for a while as of last night, still not sure what happened, but glad it's back up. I've rerun the "repair table" command, so I think that database error will go away for now. --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 22:06, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
