jack added a comment to T44: Remove Aurora-specific MediaWiki core hacks.

Down to one core hack, the AJAX page watching one, as of Q1/2019. Should really figure out a way to get rid of that and then Aurora would be a nice, stand-alone skin that requires no core hacks whatsoever...

LookupContribs v. 2.0 fixed this for LookupContribs, but as discussed on IRC, we'll need that schema change to the lookupcontribs table to be able to make MultiLookup use LC's dataset.

jack edited projects for T246: Creating Wiki Not Functional, added: CreateWiki; removed Semantic MediaWiki.

Hi @jcbynum1 and thanks for the detailed bug report with reproduction steps -- we really appreciate taking the time to write how to try reproducing the bug! Right now the MediaWiki 1.32 database upgrades and all are still running in the background, which causes an increased load on the server, which you may have noticed as slower page loads and an increased "sluggishness" in general. As @lewiscawte noted on a similar forum thread on ShoutWiki Hub, we believe that the issue you're experiencing is connected to that and we expect the wiki creation wizard to work again once the database upgrades are done.

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.

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.
