Update Issues

This page is to track issues encountered that appear to be a side-effect of the Mediawiki software update in July 2023.

Missing Images

Images which were bulk imported from JohnE's pre-wiki still have pages and descriptions. The images are in the images/ directory as expected but do not display. Some inpacted pages are:

• https://elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php?title=Category:1983_photos (1 photo)
• https://elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php?title=Category:1986_photos (40 photos)
• https://elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php?title=Category:1988_photos (2 photos)
• https://elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php?title=Category:1991_photos (2 photos)
• https://elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php?title=Category:1997_photos (8 photos)

All missing images have been reuploaded:

What about these?

with::band::Artist Not Processed Correctly

The site uses "double ::" notation which is not processed correctly.

We have no explanation.

The fix appears to be dropping one of the properties. But do we want "with::Artist" or "band::Artist"?

checkImages.php Results

I ran checkImages.php maintenance script and it reported

• 1977-10-29_New_Musical_Express_cover.jpg: missing

This does seem to be the case but the images/ directory has these. Could one of them be the missing image and this be a bad reference?

• ./0/03/1977-10-29_New_Musical_Express_photo_01.jpg
• ./3/31/1977-10-29_New_Musical_Express_page_11_clipping.jpg
• ./3/33/1977-10-29_New_Musical_Express_page_29_clipping.jpg
• ./6/66/1977-10-29_New_Musical_Express_page_09.jpg
• ./8/8d/1977-10-29_New_Musical_Express_page_28_advertisement.jpg
• ./9/9f/1977-10-29_New_Musical_Express_page_27_clipping.jpg
• ./d/db/1977-10-29_New_Musical_Express_cover_1.jpg
• ./e/e0/1977-10-29_New_Musical_Express_page_28.jpg

The page looks fine to me; no missing images:

New Musical Express, October 29, 1977

Edits Causing Jobs Backlog

There appears to be an update job which needs to run after the semantic content is updated. This can take a while to clear out.

TBD: Add screenshot.

The "fix" is to be patient. There is a way to manually force the jobs to run as part of mediawiki maintenance.

- Currently being worked on by nunki.

Semantic Further Results Not Displaying Correctly

The semantic ask pages that display more than the "limit" parameter, then shows a "...further results" link at the bottom of the page. Clicking this link displays a page that is not shown correctly. It appears that the date is missing.

e.g. https://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php?title=Audio_files
