Might be an issue with MediaWiki's cache/temp process. Could you link me to some images that are not working for you?

A good idea to solve the problem is make an edit on the page where the troublesome image is being shown. The image should then appear. I did it since about June (I think).

If this does indeed fix the problem, I know the cause! MediaWiki makes special versions for the images that are thumbnails. Due to the lack of space on the server, MediaWiki failed to continue this creation, or in some cases, the files already on the server got corrupted. Editing the page and forcing Mediawiki to regenerate the thumbnails should fix it in a snap! This should not continue to be a problem in the future as the new server has plenty of space so MediaWiki will not run into problems in the future.

If elected admin I pledge to delete at least one article. Keep your fingers crossed that it's one on the deletions list and not, say, the Featured Article.

Ah. Thanks.

I don't have any on my talk page. Maybe you should put there a list of your articles that you want deleted?

How do you make an article. I can't figure it out too well

You first need to create an account. Once you have one and are logged in, type the name of the article you want to create into the box above “Information and Assistance” and press the “Create Page” button.

This category might be a starting place?

It might be but you're SUPPOSED to post on our talk pages. Says so on the old deletion article.

But I guess I can use that category instead.

“502 Bad Gateway”

Does the 'Template:Infobox casino' found on Wikipedia not work on IIWiki, or is it just me?

Since the template hasn't been imported to IIwiki, it's no surprise it doesn't work. It's not too hard to check: just type the template's name into the search bar and press enter.

In this particular case, an editor two years ago seems to have thought that pasting the template into the template would make it work. Since templates often rely on other Wiki modules and templates, you're best off posting on one of the admins' pages and asking for the template to be imported.

Getting a bad gateway again.

Confirming bad gateway.

We need a new rule: "When you plan to go on IIwiki to work on that very important article, the site will crash at exactly the right time."

Wiki Commons images are gone again. For me at least.

Never mind, it's cache issues. Weird, it's the first time I have this kind of issue...

by **Shazbotdom** » Thu Jan 28, 2016 10:31 pm

IIWiki is down.

Tried resetting my cache, still not working. Checked on "isitdownrightnow" and it says it's down for everyone.

EDIT
Now getting a 502: Bad Gateway

by **Layarteb** » Fri Jan 29, 2016 6:47 am

A-Ok for me at the moment

by **Shazbotdom** » Sat Jan 30, 2016 1:28 am

Would it be possible for someone to move my factbook to the Countries section? I can't figure out how to do it.
