September 2014 maintenance update

I've taken the forum out of "maintenance mode" so people are now free to post on it. However, there is still work going on behind the scenes, and some features might not quite work correctly yet.

Thanks Abwayax. It's now possible to use 'search wiki'. Great!

Previously I encountered a white screen problem when creating new pages, where the wiki doesn't return you to the page that you edited.

I think you may know about it, but I thought it would be best to mention it. Now when I create or edit a page, it brings up this. However, note that I'm temporarily using a different computer and browser (Firefox instead of Chrome):

(May I ask, what do other people get?)

Also, when I delete a page there are no problems. It works expected with a 'Return to Main Page' message with a link to the main page. Moving a page is fine, too, including the process of moving a page into an existing page (deleting the old page and leaving no redirect at least).

There is a big problem that you're probably aware of too. The database contents pages are empty and apparently only the text that exists in edit page's box remains for the individual entries.

I've noticed that the "Mew trick" and "Ditto trick" sidebar links are broken again.  I've created [tt]#REDIRECT[[Trainer_escape_glitch#Mew_trick]][/tt]'s on them, and that seems to be working for now.

When I do this (saving an edit; opening the edit screen works fine), I get a 500 internal server error.  Maybe your ISP has some kind of DNS redirect thing that does that when an error occurs.  I do note that the edits are saved, however.

Thanks for letting me know. There are still some kinks to be worked out (the 'dexes being the major one), because the update from MediaWiki 1.16 to 1.23 was pretty major and broke every other extension (including, of course, the one behind the 'dexes).

Oh hey!  I just got an email from this reply.  But it ended up in my spam inbox.  Hm.

Still, that's nice.
