piwik
The information under "Referrer Websites", "Search Engines" or "Keywords" gives "There is no data for this report" and "Feedburner statistics" has an error message. /AleWi 12:05, 8 January 2013 (EST)
- Which website is this for? I checked out both Svenska and the English site, and both are showing data for those reports. The "Feedburner statistics" was just a sample module that has since been removed from Piwik. I've removed the link so you won't get the error any more. --Jake 11:51, 9 January 2013 (EST)
- Both, for me. /AleWi 11:54, 9 January 2013 (EST)
- There is never any data available any more. Clicking on any keyword or any referrer website returns "There is no data for this report." Also, the top keyword search is always "Keyword not defined" for some reason. There is an update for Piwik, whether that will help or not, I'm not sure. The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 12:19, 9 January 2013 (EST)
- Ok, so something is definitely going on here. I'm able to review those reports without any issues. If I may ask, which browsers are you two using and are you using any pop up or ad blockers? If you are using a pop up or ad blocker, I would try disabling it for simpsonswiki.net and seeing if that fixes the issue. I know my pop up blocker sometimes prevents javascript from functioning properly and that may be the case here. --Jake 22:03, 9 January 2013 (EST)
- It not working for me in Chrome, Explorer and Firefox. I only have the pop up blocker that is included. /AleWi 23:51, 9 January 2013 (EST)
- I use Firefox, the latest version. I have AdBlock plus installed but even having it disabled on simpsonswiki.net doesn't help. Solar Dragon (Talk • Contribs.) 03:43, 10 January 2013 (EST)
- So just to make sure that we're all on the same page (literally), you're not seeing any results when viewing this page or this page? --Jake 20:21, 11 January 2013 (EST)
- Huh, I can actually see them from that page. Just not the main page. That's weird... Solar Dragon (Talk • Contribs.) 03:16, 12 January 2013 (EST)
- Just noticed that only the first page of the results on those pages work, not the other pages... (Talk - Contribs.) 03:43, 12 January 2013 (EST)
- Ok, I'm noticing similar problems as well. I'll go ahead and update Piwik to see if that helps. --Jake 11:52, 12 January 2013 (EST)
- It seems to be working for me after updating Piwik. Is it working for you two now as well? --Jake 11:54, 12 January 2013 (EST)
- Yep, seems to be working for me too now. Solar Dragon (Talk • Contribs.) 12:00, 12 January 2013 (EST)

Needs to be fixed
Hi, this needs to be fixed. Thanks :) FatHomerTalk 12:54, 19 January 2013 (EST)
- FatHomer, what page are you seeing this on? I can't see the same error. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.)☆ 13:25, 19 January 2013 (EST)
- I seeing that error when the window is not full screen. Try to shrink the window and you see. /AleWi 13:46, 19 January 2013 (EST)
Offline
Wikisimpsons has gone offline for two brief spells today, the first starting around 7pm, the second around 8pm. What happened? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 16:01, 12 February 2013 (EST)
- It looked like it was just a normal service interruption due to an unexpected server issue. Whenever one of these occurs, please just send me an email at jake@simpsonswiki.net. It's the fastest and most reliable way to contact me, and I can usually have everything up and running again within a few minutes. --Jake 23:28, 12 February 2013 (EST)
Tumblr
We have an account on tumblr now, I have invite you. Can you create a cname for tumblr.simpsonswiki.net to domains.tumblr.com We not need to update our domain's nameservers. /AleWi 15:43, 14 February 2013 (EST)
- I've submitted the update to the domain name registry. It should start working within a few hours. --Jake 16:38, 14 February 2013 (EST)
TOCU
Something's going wrong with the TOCU template. See the problem here. Do you know what the problem is? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 07:20, 27 May 2013 (EDT)
piwik
The piwik will not working since yesterday. No information is saved. /AleWi 15:28, 7 July 2013 (EDT)
- I've been working on this since Solar Dragon told me about it yesterday. It should be working properly as of now and the stat tracking will be back to normal starting tomorrow. --Jake 19:56, 7 July 2013 (EDT)
Search
Whenever you search for something, no results come up. Example here. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 06:25, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
- Yeah, that happens every once in a while after a server reboot. I usually fix it within a few hours, so no need to let me know when this happens. --Jake 11:47, 15 July 2013 (EDT)
Template:E
I've already asked Solar about this, but he couldn't provide a solution so: for some reason, the template won't accept the characters "+" and "=". Is there a way to fix this? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 09:33, 15 August 2013 (EDT)
- Jake, will you respond to this please? It's been nearly two weeks since I asked this. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 09:29, 26 August 2013 (EDT)
Image problem
Hello there, Jake. There is problems with images on the wiki at the moment, likely affected by the server move... I have noticed that it seems to be affecting images with "special characters" (eg é, í, etc.).
Here is a list I have found with the problem: File:Andy García.jpg, File:Blue Öyster Cult.jpg, File:Georg Hólm.jpg, File:José Canseco.jpg, File:Jónsi.jpg, File:Louie Pérez.jpg, File:Markéta Irglová.jpg, File:Orri Páll Dýrason.jpg, File:Plácido Domingo.jpg, File:Sigur Rós.jpg, File:Tré Cool.jpg, and File:Zoë Ball.jpg
If I notice some more, which will be likely, I'll be sure to message you. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 04:43, 16 August 2013 (EDT)

Strange bug with signing
Hi Jake, I've noticed a strange bug with signing recently. Sometimes when I type four tildes, it just adds the time and date and no signature. At first I thought this was just me adding a fifth but now I know otherwise after I made this talk page comment. That uses a template that also adds in the four tildes and signs automatically when substed. However, only the date has been added. I'm not sure whether this has only been happening after the server move or not. Can you look into it please? Thanks, Solar Dragon (Talk • Contribs.) 12:40, 23 August 2013 (EDT)
- That's definitely strange behavior. It shouldn't be something new after the server move because none of the MediaWiki code was changed from before the move. The only change we've made is to add Cook879's SimpsonsFont extension. If this is a bug with MediaWiki, it should be resolved after we update to the latest version. Please let me know if this happens again. --Jake 10:26, 24 August 2013 (EDT)
- So, I previewed a post and found the same thing happening so I am sure there were only four tildes. When I saved it, my actual signature appeared. Solar Dragon (Talk • Contribs.) 11:43, 24 August 2013 (EDT)
DVD boxset art
I've already inquired Solar about this, but I thought I'd ask you as well. On my Simpsons distribution user page, I'd like, in the gallery, for when you click on (Alternate box art) in the caption, for the alternate box art to show up in the image frame-thing. Do you get what I mean? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 08:16, 28 August 2013 (EDT)
- Hey Phinbart. This isn't really possible without a decent amount of Javascript or a MediaWiki extension. I've looked around to see if there are any extensions that enable this kind of behavior, and couldn't find any. I'm not great with Javascript, so I really wouldn't be the best person to ask about this either. If you can find an extension or Javascript code that would do this, send me an email and I'd be happy to look into it for you. --Jake 13:36, 28 August 2013 (EDT)
News namespace broke
Hi Jake, as you can see from Template:News, something seems broken. Can you fix it? You might also want to check the Dictionary namespace too. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 03:01, August 29, 2013 (EDT)
- Yeah, I am seeing this too, dunno why it is like so though. :P --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 04:45, August 31, 2013 (EDT)
- Apparently they added 'news:' as a URL prefix in newer versions of MediaWiki. I've fixed this. --Jake 12:41, August 31, 2013 (EDT)
- Ah, thanks. Now the only major issue is user pages... The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 12:57, August 31, 2013 (EDT)
CollapsibleBox
For some reason, the template is broke when I try it out on the Table template. Is there a fix or is there a way around this error? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 11:36, August 29, 2013 (EDT)
- I'll look into it. May have something to do with the 'switch' directive extension not being updated. --Jake 09:40, August 31, 2013 (EDT)
Table and the Infobox
As you can see here, the second table is underneath the infobox. Is there a reason why this happens. Plus, any updates on the CollapsibleBox? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 15:40, September 6, 2013 (EDT)
- I'm not familiar with how the table template works on this site, and I don't see any reason why it's being pushed down. I'd ask Solar about it. And I don't have any more information on the CollapsibleBox yet. For now, I'd just avoid using it whenever possible. --Jake 16:18, September 7, 2013 (EDT)
- The Table template has a clear=all at the end of it which is why the second table is clearing the infobox. The only way to fix this would be to add an option to make the clear=all optional. The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 17:22, September 7, 2013 (EDT)
File errors due to social profile being removed
So, I found this image is having some problems. If you look at the File Usage, you'll find that it links to a page :Radioactive Ape, which I'm guessing is actually supposed to me UserWiki:Radioactive Ape. Is this fixable? Thanks, The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 17:22, September 7, 2013 (EDT)
MultipleUpload
Just letting you know, MultipleUpload doesn't work. It just leaves a blank, white page. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 12:21, September 12, 2013 (EDT)
- Sadly, that extension is no longer maintained with the latest versions of MediaWiki. --Jake 15:43, September 28, 2013 (EDT)
Spammers
We need to do something about these spammers, they've been hitting up for a few days now and our biggest attack was two nights ago. Last night's wasn't as bad. Jake, could you possible either place a world ban on their IP or have all new users enter an answer into a captcha in order to save their page? Thanks, ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 01:20, September 25, 2013 (EDT)
- The spammers don't share a common IP, so we can't use that approach. Solar Dragon and I are currently discussing possible alternatives, and a captcha is among them. Another option would be to block users who are not autoconfirmed from adding external links. Please let me know if you have any other ideas, or if it gets really bad, send me an email and I can temporarily disable editing. Thanks! --Jake 10:22, September 25, 2013 (EDT)
Swedish Wikisimpsons
Hi, why hasn't the Swedish Wikisimpsons .com instead of .net as this wiki now have and why doesn't it share files with this wiki? Thanks! FatHomerTalk 16:24, November 16, 2013 (EST)
- The time on the Swedish wiki also needs to be put on hour forward because of the winter time. Thanks again! FatHomerTalk 16:28, November 16, 2013 (EST)

Images
Hi Jake, could you reupload the images from the Image problem section above and from the section above this, and File:Killer Toupée.png please? They are all having the glitch associated with foreign characters in the file name. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 05:46, January 12, 2014 (EST)
404
The 404 pages at the wiki has still links for the closed wikis. /AleWi (talk) 17:38, March 16, 2014 (EDT)
Extension:MobileFrontend
You have update the Wiki to version 1.23. It it's possible to add Extension:MobileFrontend? /AleWi (talk) 16:52, January 12, 2015 (EST)
- I've installed this. It works pretty well, except on the Main Page and some episode pages. We will probably have to follow these instructions to get everything working correctly. You can add
?useformat=mobile
to the end of any Wikisimpsons page URL to force the server to render a mobile page for testing purposes. --Jake 23:45, January 12, 2015 (EST)
QuickLink
Hi Jake, since the upgrade, QuickLink no longer works. Is there anything you can do about that? If not, do you know of any similar extensions? Thanks, The Solar Dragon 03:41, January 13, 2015 (EST)
- Another thing I noticed, the contents box at the top of a page stretches all the way across. Can this be fixed too? Thanks, The Solar Dragon 03:54, January 13, 2015 (EST)
Special:WantedFiles
Hi Jake, there are a couple of wanted files that don't have any links to them. Could you remove them from the list using your magic please? Thanks, The Solar Dragon 15:50, January 13, 2015 (EST)
- I've fixed this for you. Not sure what caused that problem to begin with. Thanks. --Jake 00:43, January 14, 2015 (EST)
The "someone left a message in your talk page" notification
Hi Jake. Could it be possible to bring back the old notification message?(the one with the "clouds" background) Is it more noticeable. Thanks! / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 16:39, January 13, 2015 (EST)
- That's actually a setting in preferences, under the 'Notifications' tab at the bottom. As far as I can tell, there is not a configuration option to turn it off for everyone. --Jake 23:58, January 13, 2015 (EST)
- I meant that "little box" with the "simpsons clouds" background that appeared above the sitenotice when someone left a message in one's talk page. I miss it so much. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 16:11, January 24, 2015 (EST)
- I will see if there is anything I can do about this tomorrow. --Jake 22:58, January 31, 2015 (EST)
- I've been investigating what could be done to bring back the old notification and I've found out that the responsible of the notification system change is a new Extension called "Echo". If you uninstalled it (if possible), would the notification system return to the "before-the-upgrade" style? / Loco87 (Talk / Contribs) 19:41, May 6, 2015 (EDT)
- I've disabled Echo. You'll have to let me know how that affects the notification though. --Jake 14:10, May 7, 2015 (EDT)

Countdown
Hi Jake, I've noticed that the countdowns in the sitenotice and anonnotice have disappeared. Can this be related to the MediaWiki upgrade?? / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 12:38, January 16, 2015 (EST)
- Not that I'm aware of. The countdown system looks like it was implemented in MediaWiki:Common.js, not in an extension. It shouldn't have been affected by the MediaWiki upgrade. --Jake 15:11, January 17, 2015 (EST)

The new skin looks so cool. damn that new look though was so sudden wasn't prepared for it to go live now :D LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 23:56, September 23, 2015 (EDT)
- I appreciate that! Please let me know if you have any suggestions or experience any problems. I'm sure there will be a few glitches we missed. (I already spotted a problem with the search bar on Safari for Mac.) --Jake 00:07, September 24, 2015 (EDT)
- just one thing. i think yellow looks better then the pink lol LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 00:08, September 24, 2015 (EDT)

- Can't it be changed back afterwards? It looks so ridiculous. --Spare-tire (talk) 01:12, September 24, 2015 (EDT)
- Yes, it'll be changed back to yellow afterwards. Now stop complaining. This isn't going to be the permanent color palette. The Solar Dragon 04:44, September 24, 2015 (EDT)
- Cool choice to me. Btw something weird: i didn't recieve notifications of changes to this page (the answers) since the one Jake did at 00:55, September 24, 2015 (EDT) LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 00:24, September 25, 2015 (EDT)
- I haven't changed anything that would affect how emails are sent. Did you visit the page (while logged in) between edits? To cut down on unnecessary emails, the server only emails you once per page until you go back to the page while logged in. --Jake 17:42, September 25, 2015 (EDT)

A couple of things
Hi, images don't fully work in the sitenotice, as I just found out. lol. Also, the resizing of the edit window still doesn't seem to work properly. It keeps resetting to half the size of the article's width rather than all the way across. The Solar Dragon 01:14, September 24, 2015 (EDT)
- I can believe it, this latest change really isn't much help. --Spare-tire (talk) 01:16, September 24, 2015 (EDT)
Oh, could you also changed {{NavboxBorder}}, {{LightBox}} and {{DarkBox}} to the same way you do the main page color switches please? Thank you, The Solar Dragon 04:43, September 24, 2015 (EDT)
- This is done. I've also updated the colors to be more in line with the new theme. --Jake 14:46, September 25, 2015 (EDT)
And categories on some pages (i.e. The Book Job) are in the footer of the layout and not all that clear. The Solar Dragon 04:49, September 24, 2015 (EDT)
- Thanks! I'll look into all of that later today when I get out of school. Spare-tire, you can change back to the old yellow skin in Special:Preferences if it bothers you that much. --Jake 06:33, September 24, 2015 (EDT)
- Also, the "search" box looks weird on the top of the page, it reminds me of the search boxes in Wikia. Could it be placed in the same place as before? Despite all these little things the skin looks so great and pink is definitely not the colour for this wiki. Happy Birthday Wikisimpsons! / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 07:14, September 24, 2015 (EDT)
- I'll have to get everyone's opinion on that. The new search bar design and location was meant to keep up with the new "Web 2.0" style being employed on modern website layouts. The search bar is also programmed in the same place as before as well, but it's hidden currently. At the very least, I'd like to offer users a choice between the two locations. And I'm definitely not trying to take inspiration from Wikia. Wikia's bad design is kinda what got us here in the first place, after all. :P --Jake 08:18, September 24, 2015 (EDT)

Is it possible to differentiate the external links from internal links a bit please? They look pretty similar at the moment. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 12:56, September 24, 2015 (EDT)
- It doesn't say how to change color schemes in "My Perferences". --Spare-tire (talk) 16:52, September 24, 2015 (EDT)
- Jake didn't say there's an option to change the colour. He said there's the option to change back to the old skin (which is yellow). It's in the top of the "Appearance" tab in Preferences. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 17:31, September 24, 2015 (EDT)

There seems to be something weird going on with the contents box on Panda-Monium!. It gets pushed into the middle of the page by some text on the first line. The Solar Dragon 11:22, September 26, 2015 (EDT)
Suggestion for a finnish Wikisimpsons
Hello! Could you set up a finnish version of this wiki? --Joona (talk) 07:48, September 26, 2015 (EDT)
- It really depends on how much interest there will be in it. Just one person working on it won't be too good. If you can get a few people interested in building up a wiki then we'll see about it. The Solar Dragon 07:54, September 26, 2015 (EDT)
Swedish wikisimpsons
Hi Jake, can you add the new skin to the swedish wikismpsons? FatHomerTalk 17:48, September 27, 2015 (EDT)
- I'm going to leave that up to AleWi to decide, since he's the main editor over there and there would be some pretty heavy color changes required. (Since they don't use the color switch templates and it can't be done automatically.) --Jake 17:54, September 27, 2015 (EDT)
Okay Here
Okay here is the download https://www.dropbox.com/s/8ot5h1vz2l83ns6/Simpsons%20MX.zip?dl=0 Thanks AliciaTalk 18:50, September 27, 2015 (EDT)
- Which category and license type should I use for these images when I upload them? --Jake 18:52, September 27, 2015 (EDT)
Category: Comics, Mexican Comics (?) Latin American Comics (?)
Licensing: Comic Artwork AliciaTalk 18:57, September 27, 2015 (EDT)
Thanks AliciaTalk 19:31, September 27, 2015 (EDT)
I haven't had this problem before, but the image is rather small http://prntscr.com/8l8sfm (When On actual page mind) and I was wondering how to make images bigger in the table? (The actual image on its own is big) yet its tiny as hell on the actual page. (I was using the usual template I use) AliciaTalk 19:56, September 27, 2015 (EDT) I get this error trying to upload a new version of File:Simpsons_2MX.JPG because the image isn't there but get this error whilst uploading it "Could not read or write file "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/2/25/Simpsons_2MX.JPG" due to insufficient permissions or missing directories/containers. Could not store file "/tmp/localcopy_67082dd13166-1.jpg" at "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/2/25/Simpsons_2MX.JPG"." AliciaTalk 20:15, September 27, 2015 (EDT)
- Try again now. And I'm not sure about the size thing, so I would suggest asking another editor who uses that template regularly. --Jake 20:33, September 27, 2015 (EDT)
could you add Simpsons Comics Mexico to the foreign comics section please Wikisimpsons:Comics_Main_Page AliciaTalk 22:21, September 27, 2015 (EDT)
Hide talk pages
Hi Jake, is it possible to hide the talk pages from Special:WantedPages? FatHomerTalk 15:22, September 29, 2015 (EDT)
- There is unfortunately not a way to do this, as that page is programmed into the MediaWiki core. Is there a particular reason you want talk pages excluded? If there is a justifiable need for such a report I can probably work something out for you. --Jake 13:13, September 30, 2015 (EDT)
- Okay, they're not really "wanted pages" so I don't they shouldn't be there and we would get a more accurate number of how many pages are needed. I also haven't asked the other users here. However, if it's much extra work for you, I don't think you should do it. FatHomerTalk 16:24, September 30, 2015 (EDT)
Title of pages with Italics
hey, i was noticing with the new skin, that pages' titles with italics (like The_Simpsons:_Tapped_Out_IRS_and_Job_Manager_content_update for example) have a problem of being too much near the non-italic part (i.e. Out and IRS). Is there a way to fix this? LetsPlayNintendoITA 19:21, September 29, 2015 (EDT)
- I can see what you mean. It's actually the font itself that is doing that, and there isn't any way (that I know of) to apply extra spacing after individual letters. One option would be to add an extra space in there or a
tag to add additional spacing. The other option would be to choose a new font for titles, although I'd like to avoid this if possible. --Jake 13:13, September 30, 2015 (EDT)- seems like the
works. I'm going to edit the TSTO Pages with that added then. Lots of changed pages incoming :p LetsPlayNintendoITA 13:28, September 30, 2015 (EDT)
