Regarding the recent malfunctions

Finally had to resort to password resetting to be able to log in again. Has anyone pin-pointed the cause of this problem's persistence?

The No Page Type List seems to be broken: when I press "save changes", it does set the page types, but doesn't update the list. I have to reload the page manually to see the next batch of untyped pages.

EDIT: Seems to have stopped. Must have been a random database lag...

So if nothing can be done about my issue in the live blogginations section that you guys can just tell me that and I'll accept it and move on. Slightly better than not knowing.

I mean I'll even accept that it's not important enough to be concerned with.

Hey Mousa The 14 - we are looking into it and hope to know more today.

May I ask which mod you are an alternate account for, drewski? Or did the server change screw up mod accounts or something? ^note First ever forum post speaking for the mods is a little weird...

Things are spooky and mysterious in mod-land right now. We'll let you know more soon, we promise.

And Drewski is legitimate. He is deeply involved in the server changeover and the coding changes

Well then, pleased to meet you, drewski.

Clicking on badges is just leading to a blank page. I know it's not an issue of massive importance, but it's still an issue I'm encountering.

Trying to reach www.tvtropes.org returns an "Unable to connect" error. Tvtropes.org, without the www prefix, works fine. Isup.me reports that it's not just me.

^^That one's been reported in moderator chat too.

There are reports of people being unable to edit their posts.

For what it's worth, the "edit" button does display and work normally for me.

It's working perfectly fine for me, too.

A blank edit to the post in question did save normally, for the record.

Post editing works for me, too.

Post editing works for me, but a post I've been trying to post in the Ukrainian crisis thread fails to post, with my browser being given the number (#6531) of my previous post in the thread.

Indexes aren't appearing on pages I've indexed.

Which pages, exactly?

This one. It was moved over from Tomb Raider: Angel Of Darkness to add the definite article in.

Also, a couple of pages I changed to indexes (they were Useful Notes pages for video game consoles moved over from Main; apparently someone forgot to set them to an index while transferring them over to the new namespace) aren't appearing in the index section of video games either.

What is going on is that you tried to index the page before it actually existed. It's not a malfunction.

Oh, okay then.

So what do I do now?

A null edit on the indexes should make them start parsing the page, I think?

That's what I do when I face such cases, and it works fine.

That works. Thanks a bunch.

Bit of a pain in the arse, though. I'd appreciate it if someone would help me along the way.
