Blank ChickenWiki Articles (and other wiki issues)

Postby Disgustedorite » Sat Jan 06, 2024 5:08 pm

Uhh, there's no "bug reports" forum or "wiki issues" thread that I can find, so I guess I'm posting this here.

The most obvious one is this one, as it is linked on every page: https://wiki.chickensmoothie.com/Project:About

Some wiki articles appear as blank, but clicking "view source" or "view history" reveals they contain (or, at least, *should* contain) content which has not been deleted. here's some other examples I could find:
https://wiki.chickensmoothie.com/Freque ... _Line_Arts
https://wiki.chickensmoothie.com/Retired_Line_Arts

As someone experienced in MediaWiki, I have no idea what could be causing this. It looks like a bug, though.

There's also a lot of orphaned pages, including event-related pages and entire guides, etc.; meaning they can't be accessed normally.

(Side note, while looking for examples, I found some pages that might make more sense as full redirects eg. this one could be made into a functional redirect by replacing the current text with "#REDIRECT [[3rd gens all years]]" same with all the other 3rd gen year redirects)

I suggest checking out this thread as I believe thats where most of the on-site coordination for wiki updates has been; Forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=3873400

I'm not involved much with the wiki myself, and don't really know anything about coding in the wiki so not sure what its using to determine what an 'orphaned page' is, but most of those are linked in the guides at the top of the home page, like all the name guides, etc. The blank pages also appear to still have all their text intact its just not showing up in public view, again, not sure whats causing that but I'd suggest bringing it up on the thread I linked above so those more actively involved in the wiki can take a look ^^

I know nothing about coding but I do hope this is addressed c: I actually click all around the wiki and am super sad to find a blank page. You're telling me it does have content I just can't see it? T.T big bummer
