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.

Speed or lack thereof

Is it just me, or has the wiki been running much slower the last few days? Is this because we've suddenly got more traffic, or what else is the reason? --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 06:54, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

I haven't really noticed a slow-down, but I can't load the pages sometimes. --Serenity 07:19, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

No idea. My laptop seems slow on all websites. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 07:36, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

Well the slowdown I'm experiencing is not extreme (like after Maelstrom, when it took 10 minutes just to load Recent Changes), but noticable. Loading uncached pages takes 5 to 10 seconds, which is longer than usual. But I guess we're only really going to be put to the test when Razor has aired. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 07:45, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

I already suggested to lock down some pages like Razor and Pegasus (maybe Helena Cain and Gina too?), like we do before airing episodes to avoid edit conflicts and unnecessary strain. But we'll still be hammered. --Serenity 07:48, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

I am running the interwiki bot on DE right now. It's making tons of changes on the EN wiki right now. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 07:48, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

I noticed. However, my slowdown started before the bot did... Ah well, I just hope we'll be able to survive the S4 post-airing hypes. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 07:57, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

I havnt noticed any significant slowdowns and the pages people have posted as examples have loaded instantly for me. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 09:51, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

Same here. --BklynBruzer 10:55, 1 September 2007 (CDT)
