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?

: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. For more information, go to 5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials f4-20020ad45584000000b0069937049aadsm2466575qvx.88 - gsmtp)] </nowiki>'''

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,'' [[User:Headquarter8302|Headquarter]][[User talk:Headquarter8302|8302]] 10:14, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

:Also, apologies for including this in the celebration, but I've encountered this error while trying to access Special:Preferences

: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)

::Hi again Wind. The issue for the Preferences still exist, I still can't access the page. Any updates on this? ~ ''Markus,'' [[User:Headquarter8302|Headquarter]][[User talk:Headquarter8302|8302]] 00:44, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

== Autoblock misbehaving ==

:This is a test edit to check what IP I am getting while doing this edit. — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 04:50, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

:This is fixed now. Also the wiki is updated to 1.44 and the [[Special:CheckUser]] page exists. — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 06:15, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
