DayZ:Admin noticeboard

The Admin noticeboard is one way through which users can notify administrators of issues needing administrative attention. While users are welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond to it promptly. Remember to sign (using four tildes: ~~~~) when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, please consider the following:

• This page is for reporting wiki issues. Please post discussions on the talk page.
• Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages, restoring deleted pages etc.
• Do not post deletion requests here. Deletion requests should be made by adding {{delete}} to the top of the target page, which will then automatically mark the page as a candidate for deletion.
• Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try making a request for comment instead.
• Mediation requests between users should only be made once a resolution could not be reached between users.
• For issues regarding the use of this wiki, please see our help center.

In case of vandalism, posting about it here is low priority. Revert it first, anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for deletion. Assume good faith and consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason. Post here only if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning. Always avoid a revert war with the vandal; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene. If a user must be reported here, please use {{user}}, preferably as the topic subject/headline.

Please post new topics at the bottom of the page by clicking "edit" above and scrolling to the bottom of the page.

Current Issues

Mod namespace semantics not working

Looks like they were not enabled here or disabled at some point. I'm not sure of the internal name of the namespace, which I need to enable it myself, so I'll talk to dev tomorrow to get this sorted out. — oOeyes 01:42, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Update: We've found and corrected the issue here. I'm running bot resaves to force the wiki cache to update to current working versions of the pages now. I'll come back later in the day to double-check things, and I'll also go through the mod templates and change them so they don't show the "Mod:" on all the links. — oOeyes 19:52, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Duplicate entries

This is a SMW glitch I've seen come up on rare occasions. I'll talk to dev tomorrow about getting it ironed out. Sadly, this requires:

• A partial rebuild of the database, so we'll lose #set and #ask features for part of the day while this happens.
• The pages don't recache automatically, so I'll run a bot over them to resave them to get all content showing up again. It's possible I might miss some, but resaving the pages should force them to update.

I'll also double-check the templates after this to make sure they are separating standalone and mod content. — oOeyes 01:42, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Update: the database rebuild is complete. I'm starting bot resaves just in case anything is not updated yet. Still an issue with the Mod namespace. We're investigating. — oOeyes 18:44, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
