Tagging

Tagging has begun today, I am removing WP:Malware and CCISTF tags, and replacing them with ours. For the moment, we will be taking on the responsibilities of both. Sephiroth storm (talk) 14:53, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Before we start taking on these tasks, we should probably just call on a bot to move them all. Ask Tinu Cherian .. he has the bot for his account to take care of it. blurpeace ^{(talk - contributions)} 19:14, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Weird errors

I see this weird message all over the project's main page: ?UNIQ77d749371f048a99-h-1--QINU?

Either there was a vandal attack or something is wrong with your codes. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions)   Changing the world one edit at a time! 07:56, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Don't ask me why or how, but it's the inclusion of the Special:RecentChangesLinked template that's causing it. --DanielPharos (talk) 11:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Then remove it! Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions)   Changing the world one edit at a time! 13:18, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

But the recent changes section is such a nice thing to have! Plus, it shouldn't be causing these kinds of problems, thus I think something deeper in the code must be wrong, something with the recent changes page itself. I suspect other wikiprojects that use this are also having trouble with it, and it will be fixed soon. So simply removing it wouldn't be a good solution. Plus, it worked fine in the past, and nothing has changed on "our end". --DanielPharos (talk) 13:44, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I have Recent changes on my WIkiProject. However, there is no code showing up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Software --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions)   Changing the world one edit at a time! 15:32, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Could have something to do with this: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/QINU_fix, beyond my area of expertise. Unless we have any code monkey's here, might need to ask on the helpdesk or ask an admin for assistance. Sephiroth storm (talk)

Sephiroth, why did you change the Recent Changes list to the Software one? Also, I don't think we have a code-monkey around, and this seems to be more wide-spread that just this project. I guess somebody should notify the helpdesk/admins. --DanielPharos (talk) 12:30, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

There is an easy fix. Remove all ==/== and ===/=== codes. Replace ==/== with

<big>'''text'''</big>

----
and ===/=== with <big>'''text'''</big>, which seems to produce the same affect without the error codes. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions)   Changing the world one edit at a time! 14:46, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

VPTech suggested it: [1] Sephiroth storm (talk) 18:36, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I changed to another (slightly less relevant) Recent Changes page, fixing the problem. --DanielPharos (talk) 21:46, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Another way to fix this problem is if you put the templete on a double transclusion. For example transcluding the troblesome transclusion on a page and transluding that page. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions)   Changing the world one edit at a time! 03:51, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Either I've did it wrong, or it didn't work. Anyways, I've commented out the Recent Changes part. I guess we'll have to wait till it works properly again. --DanielPharos (talk) 12:19, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I could have sworn this was fixed. Sephiroth storm (talk) 00:01, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Me too. I put it back in about two days ago, and it seemed to work. But now it's broken again. *sigh* Taking it out again... --DanielPharos (talk) 11:01, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject SOftware

Anybody interested in taking WikiProject Software. We need active users!? --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions)   Changing the world one edit at a time! 15:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

What do you mean taking it? Sephiroth storm (talk) 17:55, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I mean is that any body is interested to join WikiProject Software? --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions)   Changing the world one edit at a time! 14:31, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Assistance requested

Shon Harris is up for deletion. I would like some assistance in improving the article. Difficulty is finding third party references. Most hits are either articles by her, or book listings. Sephiroth storm (talk) 14:46, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

WP 1.0 bot announcement

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects.
