: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)
: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,'' <span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Noto Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 125%">[[User:Headquarter8302|Headquarter]][[User talk:Headquarter8302|8302]]</span> 00:44, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
::Looks like it's a [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T341435 MediaWiki bug]. Worked around it now, try again. — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 05:30, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
== Autoblock misbehaving ==
Hi Windy, some users reported not being able to edit because the autoblock was targeting 127.0.0.1. [https://irc.biringa.com/channel/pwiki/2025-08-13.html Relevant logs]. — [[User:Tark|<span style="font-weight:bold;color: #5BC236">Tark</span>]] 14:28, 13 August 2025 (UTC)
: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)
