Wikitravel Migration bugs

Please report bug on the migrated Wikitravel wikis, here. Resolved bugs are stored in the archives.

First testing period
All the following issues should be fixed.


 * I'm having severe issues with my maps on en:Walt Disney World and subarticles. The file histories seem to be off by two revisions.  Take wts:File:Map - Walt Disney World - Magic Kingdom.png for instance.  The thumbnail marked 31 March 2012 (and the file behind the link for that matter) is actually the file revision of 7 February 2011 (which had the description "El Pirata y el Perico renamed to Tortuga Tavern. Remove Mickey's Toontown Fair.").  The images that should correspond to the latest two revisions seem to be lost.  My maps from other articles, like wts:File:Map - Rochester NY - overview.png appear to be fine.  LtPowers 19:55, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Broken map In e.g. Berlin the city map is broken. I think the layer below the graphic is in another scale as the green districts. Thanks and regards, Jc8136 12:16, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * This is the same problem I reported above with the WDW maps. Look at Wikitravel Shared's version history and you can see the version of the Berlin map that's displayed here on Wikivoyage is two revisions behind.  LtPowers 14:26, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It seems that this is only a problem for png files. The only shown image is not the last but the first uploaded image as reported by Hansm. The cause is still unknown. --Roland 15:25, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not showing the first revision, either. It's showing the revision from two revisions ago, and each prior thumbnail is also two revisions off, as far as I can tell.  LtPowers 19:53, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Is fixed. --Roland 05:29, 7 September 2012 (UTC)


 * In addition, I deleted wts:File:Disneyworld overview map.png pending removal of the logo; I wanted to restore it to check the versioning bug mentioned above but I cannot. Trying to undelete it gives me this error:
 * Undelete failed; someone else may have undeleted the page first.
 * Undeletion will not be performed if it will result in the top page or file revision being partially deleted. In such cases, you must uncheck or unhide the newest deleted revision.
 * Errors were encountered while undeleting the file:
 * A non-identical file already exists at mwstore://local-backend/local-public/archive/e/e4/20120830222949!Disneyworld_overview_map.png.
 * A non-identical file already exists at mwstore://local-backend/local-public/archive/e/e4/20120830222949!Disneyworld_overview_map.png.
 * -- LtPowers 19:55, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Is fixed. --Roland 05:29, 7 September 2012 (UTC)


 * New images in :wts not appearing in :en - I uploaded some new images to :wts but they won't display in :en. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a bug. The images in :wts are and  and the page I'm trying to display them on is . Thanks. -Shaund 03:04, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The cause seems to be a mediawiki bug, see 31943. I changed ForeignDBRepo to ForeignApiRepo. After this it seems working but not as fast as before. Some time is needed to re-parse all articles. --Roland 17:58, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Is fixed. --Roland 05:29, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * See also wts:Travellers' pub. The problem also occurs on French Wikivoyage. --Stefan2 00:18, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems fixed now, thanks a lot! Fogg 23:31, 16 October 2012 (UTC)


 * There is no file wts:File:Bruxelles Musée des intruments de musique.jpg, but a file with that name was uploaded to the Internet Brands website in 2008. Causes red link in fr:Bruxelles. I'm not sure if there are other missing files. --Stefan2 00:18, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
 * And what about file wts:File:Bruxelles_Musee_des_intruments_de_musique.jpg ? -- Berthold   Mail  Talk  04:28, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Oops, sorry. I searched for the file name on Google after I noticed the dead link in the French Brussels article and didn't notice that the accent was missing from the file name. --Stefan2 11:41, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Second testing period
I cannot create a userpage for myself. I can log on and a red link to my user page comes up top right as you would expect, but when I click on it it only partially opens. Some of the sidebar links appear but the main formatting is absent and the page is not editable. This happens on en: and wts: for both user pages and user talk pages. &bull; &bull; &bull; Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:24, 7 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I cannot reproduce this bug. I have tried it in different szenarios, with my admin/bureaucrat account as well as with a newly created account. It always worked without problems. Did you try to force your browser to reload the pages? With Firefox, this is done by pressing Shift-F5. -- Hansm 10:10, 8 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I am unable to access the upload log for the WT-shared prefixed user accounts (example). It's a very useful feature for examining contributions histories. --Peter Talk 17:15, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I have restored the upload log. There is just one thing: all uploads are marked as "upload", no matter whether they have overwritten an existing file or not. Nevertheless, I'd say it's fixed. -- Hansm 23:18, 8 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I have problems with re-uploading maps of Copenhagen, such as and . Any ideas? --Atsirlin 21:01, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

First testing period

 * External links changed their format. In listings, we had the link in square brackets following the title. Now the title itself is the link. I know it is a feature of WV, and I am rather neutral to both formats, but this looks like a substantial change in the appearance that may require separate discussion. Atsirlin 18:55, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The listings extension was written by ourselves because we had no original source. We wrote it only for backward compatibility. This type of extension (also at Wikitravel) is working after parsing. To get the bracket links it is necessary to re-parse parts of the article which is time-consuming. I propose the use of normal templates in the future. --Roland 09:45, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Templates are probably a good long-term solution, but in the meantime, is it possible to alter the extension to recreate the old WT style? (I would be happy to assist to the extent of my ability, if the code is available.)  I realize that re-parsing the entire :en wiki is no one's idea of a good time, but as it is, I also think the two conflicting styles we now have in most articles is even worse.  -- D. Guillaume 23:17, 1 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Individual listings cannot be edited directly from the article (the grey "Edit" in small type isn't available at the end of the listing) Shaund 20:38, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * We programmed the lings extensions completely anew. We do not have any time to do more. I propose templates instead the listing tags because they can be more flexible. Any style change must be made be external programmers, not by the community. In future versions you will have an easy to use editor for templates. --Roland 09:45, 3 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Images with multiple versions in their file history - it's displaying the oldest version of the image instead of the newest version (see Vancouver districts map - import and current WT version ) Shaund 20:05, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes. Some of the imported images are in their oldest versions, but others (like here) are in the most recent ones. Atsirlin 20:29, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Should be fixed, now. -- Hansm 14:00, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Image history on :en is partly broken, because thumbnails can not be generated. For example, this one . Same image looks good on :wts . Atsirlin 20:29, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Should be fixed, now. -- Hansm 14:00, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Coordinates is rendered below the header-line, on german wikivoyage they are rendered above the line. When rendering below the line there is greater risque for overwriting of the localization-info that is rendered to the left below the line./Johan Jönsson 14:06, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * This is not a big problem. The prevent collisions with previous of the month destinations and star articles symbols I positioned the coordinate below the header line. I must write a small JavaSript script to bring them side by side and not interfering. --Roland 15:30, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Second testing period

 * In mainspace and in the File: namespace, the clickable area for the "Page" tab is extremely small and at the far right-hand-side of the tab. This makes it difficult to switch back to the article after viewing the talk page.  Namespaces User:, Wikivoyage:, MediaWiki:, and Help: are fine and do not have this problem.  LtPowers 14:22, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I cannot reproduce this bug with Firefox. It sounds like an issue with CSS, which is in Roland's domain. Could you post a link to a page where this bug occures? -- Hansm 11:15, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It's literally every page in mainspace and Filespace. http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Main_Page for instance.  I'm using Firefox 15.0.1 on Windows XP.  LtPowers 14:18, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Strange. Simply cannot reproduce this with FF 3.6.2 on Debian. Are there others that can see this bug? -- Hansm 15:10, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I have the same problem. But for the other namespaces (User, Special etc.) the right half of the area is clickable and the left half isn't. I'm using Firefox 15.0.1 on Windows 7. –sumone10154 (talk ) 23:27, 9 September 2012 (UTC)


 * When there is both DotM / Otbp and a Star icon and co-ordinates at the top of the page, they overlap. See Chicago . -Shaund 14:27, 7 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Star article icon pops up twice, while it shouldn't (see Menzies and Hiroshima ). --Globe-trotter 16:51, 7 September 2012 (UTC)


 * This and the bug above seem to have the same reason, i.e. the control what goes in which slot at the top of the page. Roland has build up a rather elaborated system which is not so easy to understand for me. I do see the bug, but for sure, it is not a critical one. Thus, I will put it somewhere in the lower part of my priority list. Maybe, Roland will find some time during his holidays for fixing this himself. -- Hansm 11:15, 8 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Images don't show up at the image Licensing section (e.g. here ). Also, it would be better if the part where it says "This file is from a shared repository and may be used by other projects. The description on its file description page there is shown below." would have a box around it or something similar. --Globe-trotter 17:11, 7 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, this is the most problematic bug for me. If we are lucky, it's just some lines in the wiki's configuration file. If we are unlucky, things could turn out to be more complicated and even critical. Give me some time for investigating this. -- Hansm 11:20, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Althought not yet fixed, I'm sure now that this is not a critical bug. I' working on it. -- Hansm 13:28, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed. -- Hansm 15:05, 8 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Odd placing of the contents box (e.g. in Berneray). --Globe-trotter 22:18, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Almost certainly a result of having FOUR photos at the top of the article. Not to say this is expected behavior, but those photos need to be spread out.  No article should have four images in a row, especially not at the top.  LtPowers 00:02, 8 September 2012 (UTC)


 * External links take up the whole listings title instead of just a separate link behind the title. See e.g. here. --Globe-trotter 19:40, 9 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The olympic template in is aligned left, distorting the page layout. The same happens on ru: with . GMM 11:05, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed --Atsirlin 15:39, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Docents are given the wrong credit. E.g. Bangkok now has User:Globe-trotter as docent, while this should have been User:(WT-en)_Globe-trotter. --Globe-trotter 16:26, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, that's really an import bug. It could be repaired by a bot script. But I'm not sure if it is worth the work for about 350 articles that have docents. Maybe, it's easier to repair this manually. -- Hansm 11:18, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I am getting some really strange image loading problems on several of the WV-en article pages, and individual image pages as well. It seems to be either an ISP filter at my end, or some sort of selective gremlin region filter loose on the WV servers...for detail see Travellers pub - Missing or broken images -- felix 11:25, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I cannot reproduce your problems. -- Hansm 11:11, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Rewrite filters too greedy. On "my" user page: it says: "Hi, Niels, Are you back from Italy already? I've been reading Wikivoyage's articles on southern Italy and noticed that you've made a lot of edits there .... Ricardo ... 2006". What was imported from Wikitravel said Wikitravel, not Wikivoyage. I believe that it should still be Wikitravel because Ricardo did read about Puglia on Wikitravel. Elgaard 21:31, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, this is wrong, but we only had two choices: Either, leaving the string "Wikitravel" untouched or replace it by "Wikivoyage". We decided to replace it since we hoped this would result in less wrong textes than not to replace it. Please correct those things manually if important. -- Hansm 09:06, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Spelling on copyright text /contributers/contributors/ --Inas 06:02, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * As admin, edit en:MediaWiki:Csrc source work and correct the spelling. Also, do the correction on wts:. -- Hansm 08:47, 13 September 2012 (UTC)


 * When I type Wikitravel: in the search box, it actually brings me to the Wikitravel.org website. Also happens at other language versions. --Globe-trotter 03:02, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Well sure. What behavior would you expect?  LtPowers 16:22, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * We have activated the interwiki prefix "wikitravel". Without argument, it leads to the WT main page. If you want to do a full text search for the string "Wikitravel:", you cannot take the shorthand. Instead, use the extended search. -- Hansm 09:06, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * :en:special:recentchanges takes quite a long time to load (this is not true for any other language or versions that I have tested. Not a big deal, but probably worth reporting. --Peter Talk 15:27, 16 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The add listing tool next to Eat, Drink, Sleep, etc, is still missing. Will it return? --Globe-trotter 16:54, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * No, see the same issue in section.


 * Bullets get placed to the far left even if there is acontent listing there. See en:Wikivoyage:Travellers%27_pub /Johan Jönsson 20:27, 16 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Table of Contents doesn't display all menu items. See for example at Karachi. --Globe-trotter 20:09, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Unclosed sleep tags in that article. Fixed now.  If there are any other instances, check for unclosed tags.  LtPowers 01:49, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. --Globe-trotter 01:11, 26 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Many articles are missing from Categories. I could go to the article, then press Edit and then Save page (without changing anything) and the article does show up in Categories. --Globe-trotter 13:32, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * How do you mean "missing from Categories"? Is there a category link in the articles in question? Could you pls give an example? -- Hansm 19:31, 27 September 2012 (UTC)


 * en:Special:UserLogin states that you can log in using OpenID, but the link to en:Special:OpenIDLogin is red. Same issue on wts:Special:UserLogin and possibly elsewhere. I assume that the OpenID extension simply is missing. --Stefan2 14:26, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed - Simply by deleting en:MediaWiki:Loginprompt. Any admin could do so. -- Hansm 19:31, 27 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Links into the history of a page (that is, external-formatted links to "diffs") are incorrect; I suspect that edit ID numbers changed in the import. If this is not fixable, all such links should be changed back to pointing to Wikitravel diffs.  LtPowers 22:28, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

fr:

 * The Geo template isn't working properly. I have copied the templates from the English Wikivoyage, but it's appearing on the bottom left instead of top right. –sumone10154 (talk ) 21:38, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * This template relies heavily on CSS and maybe even JS. In order to get it displayed correctly, you also should copy all CSS an JS entries in namespace Mediawiki that Roland has modified on en:. -- Hansm 08:41, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed –sumone10154 (talk ) 13:07, 14 September 2012 (UTC)


 * New images in :wts not appearing in :fr Any progress for the following bug: wts:Travellers' pub? I'd really like to carry on the map translations but I'm blocked with this. Have you tried on :fr the fix mentioned above: "The cause seems to be a mediawiki bug, see 31943. I changed ForeignDBRepo to ForeignApiRepo."? Thanks for your help! Fogg 01:56, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems fixed now, thanks a lot! Fogg 23:31, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

nl:

 * Breadcrumb navigation does not function. (the Europe > Benelux > Netherlands, etc bar) --Globe-trotter 16:11, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed - The IsIn template needed to be copied from the english version. –sumone10154 (talk ) 21:49, 15 September 2012 (UTC)


 * In the left bar, the link Foto's uploaden / zoeken links to Wikivoyage Shared instead of to Wikivoyage WTS. --Globe-trotter 12:54, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You can go to nl:MediaWiki:Sidebar, where administrators can edit what appears in the sidebar. Replace shared-url with wts:Main Page to change it. –sumone10154 (talk ) 00:24, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

ru:

 * Unfortunately, we have one very critical bug of post-import data scrubbing. The idea was to replace the word "Википутешествие" (as well as its derivative forms) with Wikivoyage. I suggested the pattern "Википутешестви*", but it recognized the asterisk as the whole string instead of the single letter. This led to really dire consequences with lots of text missing. Hans, is it possible to do the replacement in a way that the asterisk means only one letter? If not, we have to make the whole bunch of gender-dependent replacement patterns... Atsirlin 14:11, 9 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The usual meaning of the asterisk (*) is 0 or more arbitrary characters. Exact one character is a question mark (?). If you are not sure, express it in normal language. -- Hansm 07:40, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I am a dummy... Yes, we need the question mark, not the asterisk, but it may be safer to write explicit patterns because one of the (rarely used) genders entails two extra letters instead of one. Then you can decide how to program the replacement. I have provided the explicit patterns at Patterns_to_replace_after_the_Import


 * Well, then I will have to run the post-import step again and will overwrite all your edits done so far.
 * -- Hansm 07:40, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Sure. We anticipated this and look forward to the re-import-) Sorry for troubles. Atsirlin 08:07, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * OK. And how about this: "Википутешествием", e.g. as in "Програмное обеспечение MediaWiki используется Википутешествием чтобы протоколировать IP-адреса анонимных участников."? I assume this is also to replace with "Wikivoyage". Right? -- Hansm 08:27, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, you are right. I mentioned it here. Atsirlin 08:34, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * OK, I have done the new pattern replacings. Let's hope the best, now. -- Hansm 10:10, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * RDF does not work properly. For example, this template is producing error messages. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea of what it is all about. It would be great if someone could point to me, which of Roland's changes fixes the RDF problem. Or is it a separate problem that is specific to :ru? Atsirlin 15:11, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * RDF doesn´t work on sv: either. I am not sure if it worth reparing, do anyone use RDF? (I found this http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage_talk:Tags where some admins says it is only used for "breadcrumb navigation" and that is still in use.)/Johan Jönsson 19:50, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is exactly about the breadcrumb navigation. Other templates do not need RDF, you can simply comment it. Atsirlin 19:55, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed (thanks to User:Johan Jönsson) Atsirlin 07:29, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * But take care, there is a lot of templates using RDF. However, RDF support is not a generic feature of the MediaWiki software. On WT, there is a private, non-published RDF-extension running. On WV, we have decided not to use RDF and provide its functionality by other ways. This means that you have to replace all templates that rely on RDF as Roland has done on en:. -- Hansm 07:42, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I understand this. I will introduce Roland's changes as soon as we have the stable version of the wiki. Atsirlin 08:08, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia links in the left column point to English Wikipedia instead of http://ru.wikipedia.org/. GMM 11:05, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed Atsirlin 11:28, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The Wtuser template doesn't appear on the imported user pages. –<font color="#339989">sumone10154 (<font color="#339989">talk ) 22:14, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, the template was blanked. <font color="#339989">–<font color="#339989">sumone10154 (<font color="#339989">talk ) 22:31, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

 * The breadcrumb navigation didn´t work. To fix it, I just had to do this on the first row of the template .  It could woth for ru: too, I guess./Johan Jönsson 06:01, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! It did help Atsirlin 07:30, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The bullet lists do not work. The bullets end up on the far left, even if the text or content is centered. It also messes up the TOC, if there is one in the article. Riggwelter 15:52, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Please give an example to check what's wrong. --Roland 11:12, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The problem does not occur with all browsers. In Firefox and Safari it looks fine but not with IE. It is a problem of lists which are located right-hand side of left-floated boxes like images. I am not sure if this is a browser or a style sheet problem. But problems in such cases are commonly known. --Roland 12:41, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
