Protecting redirects

I assume this was a mistake, and that you intended to protect the target rather than the redirect itself? If not, please restore. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 13:17, 15 January 2008 (CST)

Interwiki transcluding stuff

Just so you know: I tested, and #ifexist: doesn't work with interwiki transclusions. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 15:24, 31 January 2008 (CST)

That I knew... but I am working to get it to work. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 16:06, 31 January 2008 (CST)

Hi

Thanks for the shoutout over at Wiki Frakr ... been extremely busy in real-life, but managed to catch the Season 4 premiere and felt like fooling around. Hope all is well with you and yours (and the same to any other Galactipedian who may read this)! Regards - JubalHarshaw 05:28, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Caprica characters

Why the delete tag? We have articles for characters from upcoming BSG episodes, like Emily Kowalski and Reza Chronides, so I don't see why we can't have articles for Caprica ones as well. Ausir 12:56, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Answering to your question: yes, I did register, but still haven't received the mail with a confirmation code. -- Spike 17:31, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

May your day be filled with 3's, 6's, 8's, and a Tori. -- FrankieG 20:07, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Happy birthday! Just don't let Tory pluck your hair... :) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 20:40, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

You mean smack me :P Shane (talk) 20:51, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Vote bot

Are you actively developing the vote bot? If not, I'd like to write it ;) --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 14:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

neg. Go for it. I have wikipedia version, but havn't really looked at it in a while. Shane (talk) 20:52, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, I've finished it and it's running fine on my wiki. It does require MW 1.13, though. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 12:12, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

That could be a problem. :D Gotta link? Shane (talk) 12:42, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

To what, the bot or 1.13? Currently, 1.13 hasn't been released yet, there's only 1.13alpha that you can download from SVN. I'll upload the bot code later, after I've documented it. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 13:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

No no. :p To your wiki to where you tested it. :D Shane (talk) 14:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I have it running on localhost, so I can't really show you. Maybe you could set up the Hangar Bay again (it's still out) and have it run 1.13alpha? I'll be happy to do the SVN checkout if you feel awkward about that. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 15:37, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

domain back up an working. You should be able to access the hb folder with your access. I think the LocalSettings.php file that is on there now has the current username/password you will need for updating to 1.13. Shane (talk) 15:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. However, I don't have write access to /home/bsgwiki/bots/ either, so I can't add VoteBot there. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 18:33, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Do'h! :P Will add. Shane (talk) 20:11, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, more trouble. The bot is up there and I can run it from my machine, but since I guess we'll wanna run it on apollo as a cron job, I'll need you to work around some stupid PHP bug and add the following lines to /etc/hosts:

74.53.78.34 hb.battlestarwiki.org
74.53.78.34 en.battlestarwiki.org

etc. for every subdomain we want VoteBot to run on. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 20:57, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Werid. Let me check it out before I do anything with the hosts files. Shane (talk) 21:11, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Gota ya. Adding to our hosts file. HB and EN for now. Shane (talk) 21:16, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Double werid. I added to our hosts file those lines, and still no go on the command execution. Try to remove the port. Shane (talk) 21:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I added the 775 flags to the file so we cna work on it. Not the /etc/hosts file. Gtalk ? Shane (talk) 21:32, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Got it working. :) Shane (talk) 21:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, a typo must've happened somewhere. The last octet should be 35, not 34. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 12:31, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

?? What? Shane (talk) 13:08, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I mean the IP address in the /etc/hosts file for hb.battlestarwiki.org (and en for that matter) should end in .35, not .34. No idea why, but try to run ping en.battlestarwiki.org from your machine at home and see what IP it gives you. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 13:34, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Doh! That's right. I gave the wiki URL it's own IP. :) Changed... Why task bot didn't run last night too. Shane (talk) 14:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Error: internal_api_error_DBConnectionError: Exception Caught: DB connection error: Access denied for user 'bsgwiki_admin'@'apollo.frakmedia.net' to database 'wikidb' (athena.frakmedia.net)

This is because we are using one LocalSettings.php file for all the hosts. :( Shane (talk) 14:21, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

No, that wasn't it, it was a small modification I made to Snoopy once. I then redownloaded Snoopy and forgot about it. It works now. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 18:44, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

It's really working now, see this. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 19:11, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Batch-exporting pages

Do you know about Special:Export and Special:Import, which allow you to bunch-copy pages (templates in this case) to another wiki? --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 20:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Ha. Yeah.  :) I learned about it recently. We might want to consider upgrading to 1.13 alpha here. Shane (talk) 20:48, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Well it breaks ConfirmEdit in some weird way, so we probably wanna upgrade that too (doesn't break at my test wiki, and I also have ConfirmEdit installed). Same goes for all extensions of course. Some time around the airing gap (May 23rd) would probably be best. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 21:04, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. Shane (talk) 21:05, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

E-mail

Can you resend it to pawel.dembowski@gmail.com? I had an old e-mail address in my preferences. Ausir 22:19, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

You should update it. :) Shane (talk) 22:27, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I just did. :) Ausir 22:27, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
