K6ka added a comment to T131: Sort HTTPS and make it available to everyone.

Wikia (ahem, "Fandom") has gotten rid of the sub-subdomains for HTTPS on different language wikis and instead place the language code after the domain name. For example, https://sims.fandom.com/es/wiki/Portada is used instead of https://es.sims.wikia.com/wiki/Portada. Typing in the sub-subdomain URL will still redirect to the correct page, but it's not used to serve content over HTTPS.

RJAlvarez added a comment to T238: Wiki locked.

I have NEVER had a wiki locked for lack of attention, That wiki was locked last year for an import which you failed to do. I have asked for help over and over and you either refuse to help me or ignore my requests. This site is mediocre at best and with you in here it will never reach it's full potential. Since the first time i reached out to you, you have been either hostile or just plain rude. My wikis here have never been able to excell here and YOU have been no help. I have kept all emails sent to you and intend to let your poor customer service be known to whomever i can. the only failure here is you and your bad attitude. Feel free to delete any of my wikis you want since i cannot maintain them without even the slightest customer support when something does not work. Two of my wikis had the potential to be huge on this site, but we will never know will we.

gbarnick added a comment to T185: Improve current client error 404/403 pages.

The biggest difficulty in this idea is that users are able to set their language in MediaWiki, but nothing about the HTTP environment carries forward that language setting, so when an HTTP request is made and hits an error page, there's little-to-nothing to go off of in that request to indicate what the target language should be as it isn't querying their MediaWiki user preferences. When I think of ideas for creating a localized error page in a wiki environment, Wikipedia comes to mind with their localization in the subdomain (e.g. en.wikipedia.org, fr.wikipedia.org, etc), where you could theoretically make an nginx if statement that picks up the subdomain and returns a different error_page directive depending on the subdomain. However on ShoutWiki where the domains don't indicate the site language, that doesn't work. Even if you were to query the site's content-language response header before returning a PHP-based error_page, the site's content-language could be different than the user's customized preferences.
