This noticeboard is a location to discuss and coordinate administrative tasks for the Battlestar Wiki.

It is my hope that this place can serve as a location for administrators to coordinate their efforts on the maintenance tasks of the Wiki (it's not ALL fun and games), as well as a spot for our contributors to be able to bring things to the attention of the admins if something needs to be done. Need a protected page edited? An article or picture deleted? Admins will watchlist this page so that your request won't get lost in the shuffle.



Current Administrators

Senior Chiefs

Senior chiefs are, in Wikipedia's terminology, bureaucrats who have the ability to make other users into chiefs. They also have the ability to check user and other advance functions not under the purview of the chiefs. Currently Senior Chiefs are:

Special:Editcount broken

I think this was already brought up some time ago, but Special:Editcount is completely broken. First, the colors are messed up, so you have to highlight the thing to see anything. Seems to be white text on a white background. Second, the maths is also wrong. I have about 6,800 edits of which about 4,700 are in (Main). And that's supposed to be 0.06%. What the frak? --Serenity 11:25, 13 September 2007 (CDT)

The percentages are broken for me too. Maybe Joe or Shane should update the Editcount extension? --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 11:34, 13 September 2007 (CDT)
Looking at the revision log, I think I know what's causing the bug:
Total  	2,870  	100%
(Main)  	1,096  	0.03%
The 1096 is first formatted to 1,096, then divided by 2870: (1.096/2870)*100 = 0.038. This was fixed some time ago, so an upgrade should fix it. --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 11:38, 13 September 2007 (CDT)
Catrope nailed it. It's a problem we run into every time we take an update. It's a pretty easy fix. --Steelviper 11:47, 13 September 2007 (CDT)
I have fixed this 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times before so I just ignore it cause I submited a patch along time ago and no one took care of it. :-P Shane (T - C - E) 12:28, 13 September 2007 (CDT)
Maybe no one there cares about their edit/post counts :) Though Catrope said they fixed it by now... --Serenity 13:00, 13 September 2007 (CDT)
Yep, you gotta upgrade your version of Editcount through the link I posted above. Just download each of the files in that folder. Unlike Steelviper thought, however, this was not caused by the 1.10 --> 1.11 update: the problem isn't in the MediaWiki core code, but in the Editcount extension, which hasn't been upgraded for some time. Shane, Joe, if you worry about running possibly unstable SVN code, there's a stable version of Editcount guaranteed to work with 1.11.10 here. --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 13:48, 13 September 2007 (CDT)

Could this be fixed? Could someone at the very least upgrade the Editcount extension through the link I posted above? --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 08:37, 28 September 2007 (CDT)

Uploaded it now. It works, as far as I can tell. The only thing to do is to fix the table in CSS... which Shane should do since he's working on the skins anyway. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 13:54, 28 September 2007 (CDT)
