The Curse Noticeboard

This is a place where issues that only a Curse Staff member can sort out. These issues will usually pertain to coding problems, relating to our PvXCode, or even the wiki's numerous extensions and special pages.

Please remember that PvXWiki has it's own Admin Noticeboard, and if an issue can be solved by an admin, post the issue there and not here.

To post an issues, please add it to the bottom of the section which the issue belongs, give the issue a suitable heading (Using a level 3 heading (3 ='s either side of the heading) E.G. ===Special:RecentRatings=== if there's a problem with the Recent Ratings page). Underneath the heading, give a brief discription of what's wrong, and sign and date your issue with 4 ~'s.

Note that this is not a talk page and that the respective moderators of each section reserve the right to remove non-administrative comments without discussion.

User Rights issues

This section is for issues related to user rights. Archived issues for this section can be found here.

General Coding issues

These issues are generally related to the Mediawiki software, and any extensions that are installed (please note that PvXCode has it's own section below). See here for archived issues.

DPL

The DPL that was on the main page (can be seen backed up here) does not work properly and cannot be diagnosed wiki-side. I've removed the DPL code from the active Template:Main Page/Builds for the time being. -- Toraen confer 02:09, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

The DPL extension was updated to a new version without the security issue, and I've noticed other DPL breakage where this was updated on other wikis. I'll investigate as soon as I can. OOeyes (talk) 08:20, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
DPL's functional richness setting is an oddball that is set by calling a function rather than assigning to a variable, so I think it may have been missed when copying the configuration in the merge. I have a request in to get the richness set to an appropriate value, which I think will address the issues we're seeing. OOeyes (talk) 00:13, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
I'm glad there's at least a solution for this. Also, if the security issue is indeed gone, feel free to have the restriction of DPL only running on protected pages removed. It wasn't even really needed with the wiki locked down anyway. -- Toraen confer 02:30, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
I've found that Grace Expired is not displaying the date and thus not highlighting any build that has overstayed its grace period (I don't know how long this has been the case). It doesn't seem like any changes have been made to DPL either. -- Toraen confer 19:59, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

DPL remains broken. It is currently used on PvXwiki:Policy (bottom two sections), Grace Expired, News, and Template:Main Page/Builds/editcopy (random builds section), yet they all have various problems displaying the intended lists. Alex has attempted to diagnose the problem with no luck. -- Toraenwiki 17:52, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

It seems to be working from what I am seeing? The section under PvXwiki:Policy#Current_Proposed_Policies works. I did check, ExtDynamicPageList::setFunctionalRichness(3);, is set for GWPvX. Azxiana (talk) 18:44, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
no it is not working. try editing User:Chieftain Alex/Code Sandbox and just put {{#dpl: | category = All working PvP builds | randomcount = 3 | randomseed = {{#time:Ymd}} | count = 3 | noresultsheader = ''No builds in this category.'' }} on the page. If it was working, it would display a list of three builds. If it wasn't finding any results, say because I'd mistyped the name of the category, it would display "No builds in this category" (once). The version on this wiki provides that message twice - even though it should be finding results. thats broken. - Chieftain Alex 21:41, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
Also, check the other three pages I linked, and the section immediately below the one you linked back. The Policies Currently Being Revisited section doesn't show the one result it's supposed to (see Category:Policy revision) and displays the error twice, the News DPL doesn't work at all, Grace Expired does not function correctly, and neither does the random builds DPL on the main page editcopy (which was on the main page proper until it stopped working). -- Toraenwiki 21:55, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
hmm k i looked at pvxwikipolicy + it does rather seem to be working on that page... except that if you change the code to query a category with more than one entry, such as Category:All untested trial PvE builds, it goes tits up - notice that it only brings up one result. removing the "count" parameter results in it displaying 2 of the possible 4 results. If I give the dpl a bad parameter name, it doesn't tell me anything, it silently hides the error. - Chieftain Alex 22:03, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Rask can't Rate

Why can't I rate builds? They 08:31, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

I don't know. I was able to rate a test build without any trouble, the ratebuild right is currently offered to autoconfirmed users, and your account is in that group. Can you provide any more information before I send this up? OOeyes (talk) 23:19, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

SphinxSearch

Searches using Special:Search don't provide relevant results, e.g. if I'm looking for Build:Team - SoO Snoway, and I type in "Build:Team - SoO" then I get a bunch of unrelated stuff. - Chieftain Alex 14:22, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
User Chieftain Alex pvx bad search results

The new SphinxSearch extension changed the way suggestions work. Unfortunately, removing the extension isn't an option due to database changes it required, so we're stuck waiting for the developers of that project to improve the suggestions. OOeyes (talk) 22:07, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
pity, as it effectively renders the search option completely useless. - Chieftain Alex 23:49, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
Example of further testing, Archive:A/W Unsuspecting Wastrel returns Archive:A/W Unsuspecting Wastrel as expected. Searching for Wastrel returns News/20090118 and. No other results. The first page contains the word "Wastrel" once, the second page links to it, but otherwise has no relationship at all. In other words the suggestions do not just need improvement, they are totally broken. This is not cherry picking, this is literally the first example I got after hitting "Random build". This comes from searching "content pages", searching "everything" returns zero results. Manually ticking all categories returns no results. Ticking just "main space" returns the same as the default search. The entire extension seems to be incredibly broken. A new misery 15:22, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
Search is still broken. They 08:11, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

SphinxSearch can't count

SphinxSearch can't count
The image shows "Showing below 2 results starting with #1." - despite there being no results at all. (and obviously it should be finding the flux page for that) - Chieftain Alex 18:50, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Wikia Account Reclaim

Users reclaiming their accounts from wikia leave a <logentry-newusers-reclaim> message with no further displayed information in the User Creation Log. -- Toraen confer 12:08, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

All it says in the language file is "Reclaimed account" with no other information that it would put in place. The blank language string appears to be an inclusion order issue with the extension that handles migrations from Wikia. Azxiana (talk) 18:23, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
This one isn't a big deal then. Just seemed odd is all. -- Toraenwiki 00:20, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

action=rate

"action=rate" seems to have been removed, and since built rating is the core feature of this wiki, this largely defeats the purpose of the wiki entirely. (Build:Team - Frostmaw Ashway). - Chieftain Alex 00:38, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

We will need to rewrite the files that handle "action=rate" because they do not work with 1.21.x. I've added it to the queue for one of my devs. Thanks! Telshin (talk) 15:49, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
The rewrite has been completed. The rate action should now be working again. Apologies for the inconvenience. OOeyes (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Ah thank you for that! There are however a few files which are missing that are now being invoked as background images in the inline css. (I think the file paths were working fine before it got broken+was rewritten). Could you take a look for these? (they provide coloured bar charts basically on pages such as this)
horizontal files:
http://gwpvx.gamepedia.com/PvX/Rate/r1.jpg
http://gwpvx.gamepedia.com/PvX/Rate/r2.jpg
http://gwpvx.gamepedia.com/PvX/Rate/r3.jpg
http://gwpvx.gamepedia.com/PvX/Rate/r4.jpg
and the vertical bar files:
http://gwpvx.gamepedia.com/PvX/Rate/v2.jpg
http://gwpvx.gamepedia.com/PvX/Rate/v3.jpg
I guess these should be somewhere under http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/gwpvx.gamepedia.com/... but I do not know where exactly. - Chieftain Alex 14:11, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
I've extracted the files from wikia (lol), and put them in Category:Interface images. - Chieftain Alex 19:25, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
Seems an incorrect hardcoded path was missed in the extension's PHP. A fix is ready to go out in the next deploy, which should be in a week or two. It isn't being rushed because the temporary CSS added to MediaWiki:Common.css is working for now. OOeyes (talk) 19:48, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

lazy fix

Or just add the following to MediaWiki:Common.css. - Chieftain Alex 11:42, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

PvXcode issues

Coding issues related to PvXcode. See also PvXwiki talk:PvXcode. See here for archived PvXCode issues.

Energy Exhaustion Overcast Costs

These do not show up at all in the mouseovers of skills.

Some examples:


Health Sacrifice Costs

These do not show up at all in the mouseovers of skills. ToraenTheJanitorToraenSig2 14:15, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Some examples:


Found the following on PvXwiki talk:PvXcode: In function skill_replace add

if ($sacrifice != 0)
         $required[] = infuse_values($gwbbcode_tpl['requirement'], Array('type' => 'sacrifice', 'value' => $sacrifice));

-- Toraen talk 00:04, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

huh? didn't i add that already? I was sure i did it at the same time as...something. ~ PheNaxKian talk 17:03, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
Nope, there's no mention of sacrifice in the copy I currently have uploaded to the box (and that one's ahead of what we've got live). -- Toraen talk 20:08, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Primary Attributes

  • Spawning Power's effect on weapon spell duration was increased from +2% per rank to +4% per rank. Now live.
  • Fast Casting has had a significant rework, and is split between PvP and PvE. Mesmer spells will need to show recharge reduction based on the attribute for PvE.
  • Leadership shows a modification to the cost of shouts, and this needs to be removed. Leadership merely returns energy, it does not change the cost. Leadership's effect on Shouts and Chants will need to display as "This shout/chant grants X Energy for each affected earshot ally" (similar to "This attack skill has X% armor penetration" displayed by Strength).
  • Mysticism has been completely reworked, and is split between PvP and PvE. Dervish enchantments will need to show cost reduction based on the attribute.

ToraenTheJanitorToraenSig2 14:15, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

(PvP) Skills and Template Codes

When (PvP) skills are added to a build template, they generate an invalid code. There has been much discussion on possible solutions here and other places. ToraenTheJanitorToraenSig2 14:15, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

I thought this was largely worked out or a fix had been found? Also, there aren't pictures for the PvP skills. —ǥrɩɳsɧƴɖɩđđɭɘş Grinshpon blinky cake 05:59, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
Not fixed at all while we were at wikia. Solutions were provided, but not tested/implemented. Wikia just seemed to completely lose interest after a while. --Toraen 06:02, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
We will implement it, but i'm letting Bryan sort out GWiki first and probably tinker with the extension at the same time on their staging server (when it's set up). So the solution's ready, but It'll be a bit longer --Phen 152.105.20.42

This should now be fixed! ~ PheNaxKian talk 16:37, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Just noting here that there seems to be a problem with the ID conversion, as noted in many other places. -- Toraen talk 01:14, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

PvE Skills

Ebon Escape

PvE skills don't show the scaled amounts at specific ranks. e.g. if I type @10 after the pvxbig code, it still shows how the numbers scale from r1-10--Chieftain Alex 15:09, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Linking

Skills in pvxbig formatted as [[Skill] do not link to the gww page for the skill. See the skill in the above section. ToraenTheJanitorToraenSig2 20:14, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

This was raised a while ago (I think by me). Apparently it's not a bug, but the way the extension works means that we couldn't have it link (or it'd be hard, or something....I'll see if I can find it). ~ PheNaxKian talk 22:07, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
it's been brought up a couple of times but never been answered. Don't know what I was thinking of <<. ~ PheNaxKian talk 22:19, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

PvX Decode

Puts pvp skills if possible into template. Unhelpful since they don't work, maybe revert to an old version before pvp skills? Chieftain Alex 00:14, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Also, the title of the page when you go to it is now <pvxdecode> due to the mediawiki upgrade. -- Toraen confer 16:23, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

More issues: attempting to display from a template code that has a multi-word named skill in it can cause it to be replaced with a PvP skill that shares the first word of the skill name. The original report is here. -- Toraen confer 20:11, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

PvXbig Skill Errors

Add any skills with incorrect descriptions or images to the list inside the PvXbig tags using [skill name]. Add a description of the problem under the PvXbig tags. Issues fixed in the editcopy and awaiting sync will be noted. Once the sync has taken place, all fixed skills will be removed from the list.


New Issues

  • Missing images for Web of Disruption (PvP), Lightning Hammer (PvP), Elemental Flame (PvP) and Slippery Ground (PvP).
  • September 20 update - Glyph of Energy and Second Wind still referring to Exhaustion.
  • Ice Spear missing enchantment arrow, also needs reduced damage to 10...50...60 {r15}. Skill is not half ranged any more.
  • Phoenix should be reduced to 10 energy.
  • Lightning Touch needs increased damage at lower end to 10...50...60 {r15}

I've sent the fixes for these to User:OOeyes. -- Toraenwiki 18:04, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
