== Signing comments == | |||
Remember when you told me to sign my comments on the talk page for i-ghost? Well, I don't really know how to sign comments, the link is always messed up. Can you post it on my talk page? | |||

== Sorry == | |||
Didn't mean to block, uh, you, with that Test Captcha Account. [[User:Sven|Sven Cakemann]] ([[User talk:Sven|talk]]) 15:55, 19 February 2018 (UTC) | |||
== Co-op Demos == | |||
Hey wind, I know it's been a few years. | |||
I'm looking at updating the Portal 2 [[User:Arrran Weeviling/Projects|Co-op Video walkthroughs]] and adding the reamining ones. | |||
I'm just wondering if putting up the demos would be useful, I've got both Atlas and P-body perspectives. | |||
I've done the entire co-op campaign, but I'm going to redo a few that I feel dragged on excessively. | |||
I can post a google drive link because I can't post them directly here due to filesize. | |||
Wow that was a lot of words. [[User:Arrran Weeviling|Arrran Weeviling]] ([[User talk:Arrran Weeviling|talk]]) | |||
:That sounds great, but it would be even better if they were on the wiki. I'm happy to bump up the max file size, let me know how large they get. — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 04:23, 24 April 2020 (UTC) | |||
== Licensing Guide? == | |||
I have posted a [[Portal Wiki:Discussion#Licensing Guide|short guide]] about Licensing and the "Portal Wiki VS Overwiki License Dispute". | |||
But can you make it an official guide......... :P | |||

== SVG files upload are broooooken == | |||
As you can see [[:File:Aperture Logo.svg|here]], SVG files are not accepted in viewing by the wiki. And below, is a sign of how messed up the wiki is in terms of viewing svg files. | |||

== Security certificate expired == | |||
This site's security certificate has expired and triggered my antivirus. Might want to renew it. [[User:Sausagea1000|Sausagea1000]] ([[User talk:Sausagea1000|talk]]) 11:00, 10 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
:Same, my browser and antivirus freaked out when I accessed the wiki. And now my login is called a "dangerous" action ~ <span style="color: blue; padding: 3px; border: 1px solid black;">Headquarter</span><span style="color: orange; padding: 3px; border: 1px solid black">8302</span> <code>[[User:Headquarter8302|User page]] - [[User talk:Headquarter8302|User talk]]</code> 11:15, 10 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
::This is fixed, sorry. Dunno why the auto-renewal didn't work, it worked fine when I ran it manually... — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 19:35, 20 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
== YouTube Channel == | |||
Hi! Are you the manager of the portal Wiki YouTube channel? If yes, did you Lost access to the channel? [[User:Quantum|Quantum]] ([[User talk:Quantum|talk]]) 21:29, 1 June 2021 (UTC) | |||
:Yes, I manage the channel, but no, I have not lost access to it... why do you ask? — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 22:53, 1 June 2021 (UTC) | |||
== Sixense video upload to YouTube channel == | |||
Hi, long time. Hope you're well. Any chance you could rip and upload [https://web.archive.org/web/20141221200035/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVXOJeoF4hc this archived video] to the YouTube channel for preservation, and so it can be shown inline on the relevant article? [[User:I-ghost|i-ghost]] 00:08, 21 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
:Done, though I just [[Portal_2_Sixense_MotionPack_DLC#Videos|self-hosted it instead]]. — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 06:09, 29 June 2023 (UTC) | |||
== purge action == | |||
Thanks! Also, is there a way to turn wiki markup on? It makes editing easier for me. [[User:FreshYoMama|FreshYoMama]] ([[User talk:FreshYoMama|talk]]) 15:15, 14 January 2023 (UTC) | |||
:Not sure what you mean, wiki markup is on: '''here is some bold text'''. Are you referring to some markup-editing extension? — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 06:09, 29 June 2023 (UTC) | |||
== Discord == | |||
Does this wiki use discord? if it does is there a server i can join, since IRC is a hassle to use sometimes, and doesn't keep track of messages. [[User:FreshYoMama|FreshYoMama]] ([[User talk:FreshYoMama|talk]]) 21:29, 14 January 2023 (UTC) | |||
:No Discord, sorry. I tried to set up a Matrix server once, which would solve this problem without the need for relying on a centralized service (Discord), but it didn't really catch on. The larger problem though is that the existing tooling (RC notifications) are on IRC right now and they'd have to be ported to a Discord bot or something first. — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 06:09, 29 June 2023 (UTC) | |||
== Email confirmation is broken == | |||
I'm not sure if you're the correct person to contact about this, but it seems like this wiki isn't able to send a confirmation code to verify the email address I've typed. It seems to me that this is a coding issue with the wiki itself somewhere. Either way, this is the error message when I click the "Mail a confirmation code" via [[Special:ConfirmEmail]]: | |||
'''<nowiki>Portal Wiki could not send your confirmation mail. Please check your email address for invalid characters. | |||
Mailer returned: authentication failure [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: 535, response: 5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted.

If you don't believe me, create a new account with an email address and try to get a confirmation mail sent out. | |||

== Username change == | |||
Hello! Can you please change my username to "VRadExe" (without quotes)? Thanks - [[User:Luke18033|Luke18033]] ([[User talk:Luke18033|talk]]) 06:18, 27 January 2025 (UTC) | |||
:A perfectly reasonable request... But MediaWiki introduced this functionality in 1.40, whereas Portal Wiki runs... 1.39. So will have to do this after upgrading to a newer version. Please poke here again if I forgot this within the next few weeks — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 02:37, 18 February 2025 (UTC) | |||
::Poke, it's been a month and you seem to have forgotten... Also, I haven't been getting any emails for pages on my watchlist lately, so that might be broken too. I didn't even realize you'd replied here until I happened to check back today. I'm fairly sure that did work until sometime recently. - [[User:Luke18033|Luke18033]] ([[User talk:Luke18033|talk]]) 06:13, 22 March 2025 (UTC) | |||
:::Wiki updated, emails fixed, username updated. Apologies for the delay. — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 03:24, 19 May 2025 (UTC) | |||
== Many thanks! == | |||
Hi Wind. Seeing the wiki use 1.43 instead of 1.39 is wild. I applaud you and other PWiki maintainers for keeping the site up! ~ ''Markus,'' <span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Noto Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 125%">[[User:Headquarter8302|Headquarter]][[User talk:Headquarter8302|8302]]</span> 10:14, 20 May 2025 (UTC) | |||

:Well, thanks for noticing :) The wiki's also under huge load from web crawlers, so that also involved a lot of new rate-limiting rules that I'm hoping normal users won't run into. | |||
:Thanks for the Preferences bug report, might be an upstream bug or something wrong with the Citizen skin... — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 16:57, 20 May 2025 (UTC) | |||
