I've been chasing bugs for the last few days, but things should be working now. People linking in from external sites may be having problems, since the only way to fix the "redlink edits the existing page" problem was to go and change how the URL's are formed. This requirement was listed nowhere and the change seems to have been made with code to make sure the engine got the right 'Title' for a page. They made the assumption that people would be following the lead of Wikipedia and have 'Pretty Links' that were in the form of '/wiki/Title' and not how we've had it (with just /Title).
To get around the breakage caused by that I had to go make changes to both the servers settings and to Shifti's settings. Sorry for any problems users may have had as I struggled with making this work right.

And we have a brand-new feature. Shifti is now running the "[http://semantic-mediawiki.org Semantic MediaWiki]" extension. This provides so many extra features that I can't list them all myself. However... The biggest reason we decided to install this extension was that it compliments the category structure in a way that a lot of you have been begging for. That is... When it's fully rolled-out the semantic data will allow for searches that are much more specific and should help you find stories that you'd like to read even faster.

:Found errors in several of the properties I created. Thankfully they hadn't yet gone into use. The 'Page Type' templates (which set the 'Page type' property) and the 'TF tag' template (which sets the 'TF Type', 'TF Degree' and 'TF Species' properties) showed the errors. Thank you for patience with the Administrators who are struggling to learn a new tech to help you.

Shifti is undergoing the process of being upgraded to the latest version of the code base. Please bear with us as the ground shakes and the walls shudder. We should be done with the process in a little bit.

Revision as of 12:03, 13 February 2009
I've been chasing bugs for the last few days, but things should be working now. People linking in from external sites may be having problems, since the only way to fix the "redlink edits the existing page" problem was to go and change how the URL's are formed. This requirement was listed nowhere and the change seems to have been made with code to make sure the engine got the right 'Title' for a page. They made the assumption that people would be following the lead of Wikipedia and have 'Pretty Links' that were in the form of '/wiki/Title' and not how we've had it (with just /Title).
To get around the breakage caused by that I had to go make changes to both the servers settings and to Shifti's settings. Sorry for any problems users may have had as I struggled with making this work right.

I've been informed that the upgrade seems to have broken the Captcha system. I've installed the latest version and am going to be rengenerating the actual captcha images in a few minutes. Thanks for all the patience.
Tiniest fraction of unplanned down-time today. We've got a massive wind-storm going on here and it knocked out the power for a couple of minutes. All other problems after that were because of the sad fact that the database server was never intended to run completely unattended. Sorry for the interruption in your browsing.
I've done some minor hacking and now the Title template and the Universe Template actually set semantic properties for you. These two properties - "Author" and "Universe" duplicate existing categories - but I added them to get some semantic properties onto as large a number of pages as possible. --ShadowWolf 22:53, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Lots more hacking on templates for semantic tagging done. Recent Changes should cover the bases, but I'm planning on adding information on them to the help section - since people are going to be needing to add them to pages. But that is going to wait for another day.
Found errors in several of the properties I created. Thankfully they hadn't yet gone into use. The 'Page Type' templates (which set the 'Page type' property) and the 'TF tag' template (which sets the 'TF Type', 'TF Degree' and 'TF Species' properties) showed the errors. Thank you for patience with the Administrators who are struggling to learn a new tech to help you.

Okay, upgrades all finished for now. We are now running the same version of the code as Wikipedia.
Lots of cleanup done in sorting out the categories. Sorry if my work on cleaning them up and getting things organized spammed anyone. As a side note this did uncover a "Stories By Genre" 'super-category' that wasn't in the menu. It's there now. To all you authors: when adding categories, don't forget the Genre :P
--ShadowWolf 21:46, 15 January 2009 (EST)
Lots more work on categories. This has been needed for quite a while, but nobody actually bothered to do it. Now that it's done, I'm hoping others will take up the torch and help keep things clean. Sometimes this will need an administrators access...
I've removed the extension that provided the <comments/> tag because it was being abused by spam bots (and was rarely ever used by a regular user). If you've used it on any pages, please remove it. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. -- ShadowWolf 21:55, 10 January 2009 (EST)
