Issues on this wiki that are known to the admins/sysops and possible solutions on how to fix it. Consider the talk page if you want something added.
Mediawiki
Page is not added to transcluded categories from pages with <includeonly>
The symptom is generally that the page shows the category correctly at the bottom, but is not actually added to it.
Solution:
- null-edit the page the category is transcluded to
Extensions
Scributo (Modules/Lua)
mw.text.split is very slow
Solution:
- If possible use
string.splitinstead
Semantic Mediawiki
Query depth
There is a limit on how large and complex SMW queries can be; you can use format=debug to get an idea what is happening with the query.
Some ways to solve this problem:
- reduce the number of conditions in the query
- reduce the number of subqueries (i.e.
<q></q> - summarize common conditions into a concept
- use a lua module for further iteration purposes
Redirect pages may cause issues with properties
Can occur due to:
- moving pages (with properties) and leaving a redirect
- editing redirect pages
- deleting pages that contain redirects
Solution (steps):
- validate the properties on the real page are set as they should
- if missing or incorrect properties are present, null-edit the page
- if this is still the case, do a minor edit on the page such as adding a space
Properties or values were changed in a template but they don't show up in the properties
Such changes generally take a while (up to several hours) to go though, esp. on templates that are used in many places.
Solutions:
- Just wait it out (preferred)
- perform null-edits (edit with no changes) on all pages using the template
