Georgia Bulldogs football under Wally Butts[edit]

There is a bit of a problem, there is a double redirect at the moment for this page and I don't know how to fix. Whenever, I try to redirect the page correctly, it just redirects to itself. What is the best target for this page to be redirected? Pkbwcgs (talk) 13:13, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing any double redirect there. Primefac (talk) 13:51, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Primefac: It sounds like I fixed but my query was if it was redirecting to the right page or not. Georgia Bulldogs football under Wally Butts sounds like a very strange name for a page. However, it was a double redirect earlier. Pkbwcgs (talk) 14:05, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wally Butts was a coach for the team, and it sounds like originally it was a page about the team under his leadership. It's odd only because of his name. Primefac (talk) 17:21, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you![edit]

I see you've added the Discouraged template to your user page. I've had similar feelings myself during editing disputes, and what I've learned during these times was to work with editors to find a solution that works for both sides, and to remember WP:BRD if something doesn't seem to go the way you want it. Hope I've helped the mood a bit.

Reflinks[edit]

{{Admin help}} Whenever I click the reflinks tool in my toolbar, it is going to this webpage. I don't know what is the problem with this tool. Can you please help me out. Pkbwcgs (talk) 20:44, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not an admin, but it's because the toolbar code uses an old URL, the domain of which now belongs to Hotels in Vienna. (Redirect analyzer said 301: Moved Permanently.) Try this new code:

// Add [[WP:Reflinks]] launcher in the toolbox on left
$.when( mw.loader.using( ['mediawiki.util'] ), $.ready ).then(function () {
 mw.util.addPortletLink(
  "p-tb",     // toolbox portlet
  "https://dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/reflinks.py?lang=" + mw.config.get('wgContentLanguage') + "&page=" + mw.config.get('wgPageName') + "&autoclick=wpPreview", // updated tool URL as of 9 November 2017
  "Reflinks"  // link label
)});

I'd also take a look at some of the new tools in the See also section. I've tested the code above, and it seems to work. Let me know if it doesn't. Happy editing! Rotideypoc41352 (talk) 21:10, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

you can find it here (bookmark it) or you can transclude {{Editor tools}}.--Moxy (talk) 00:29, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Error 404 when opening Wikimedia Commons[edit]

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

I got this error when opening Wikimedia Commons:

Request from ********* via cp3046 frontend, Varnish XID 79890980 Upstream caches: cp3046 int Error: 404, Requested domainname does not exist on this server at Sun, 12 Nov 2017 15:34:41 GMT

Can you please help me out on this error. Pkbwcgs (talk) 15:37, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, but I have two directions for you to proceed toward an answer. First, it sounds like a technical problem, which is going to have to get looked at by devs, which means filing a bug report at Phabricator at [1]. I realize that's a bit of a hassle. I'd also try asking this question at WP:VPT.

I did find someone else complaining about this problem in August at https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Help_desk/Archive/2017/08, but I realize you probably can't open that link. No answer was given, but there was a request for the bug to be put into Phabricator, and I can't find any hint that it ever was.

Best of luck, and I'll leave this request open in case other folks have a comment. --joe decker ^talk 16:05, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Found this one, which is a bit similar - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T175122, maybe add to that one. You can also e-mail info-en@wikimedia.org - hopefully someone will move it to the TechIssues queue.

@Joe Decker: Phabricator is not letting me file an error report. It is asking me to log in and I have no intention of creating an account at Phabricator. Pkbwcgs (talk) 17:25, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, that is annoying. Short of creating an account, VPT is your best bet. --joe decker ^talk 23:20, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
