WikiProblems

• Removing "Template:Meetup graticule" seems to work
• I made a new Template (Template:Meetup graticule2), removing the part that generates the map, which does NOT work (as evidenced in JoannaTest)
  • This I think rules out caribiner as the source of the problem
• In fact, lots of general errors suggest it might be MediaWiki itself that is causing problems
• Problems started ???
  • The last report was finished 21 september, around 1:30 PM UTC according to the twitter bot --Eupeodes (talk) 03:30, 29 September 2014 (EDT)
• Apache logs show logs of undefined variables, but they were there since before the problems started (i.e. 6+ weeks ago)
• I can see occasional seg faults in php, unsure about origin. Far less often than I'm seeing problems though
• The caching layer that was running is now OFF
• The database is functional and showing no issues of load, further suggesting the problem is at the PHP layer
• Thomcat noticed that after coordinates were available on 30 Sept, pages without spaces would load (sometimes slowly) but pages with spaces in the title (or underscores) would not load at all. Is this why WikiProblems was created without a space? --Thomcat (talk) 00:34, 1 October 2014 (EDT)
  • No it wasn't, for example Template:New_on_the_wiki is still working fine

Would anyone object if I tried upgrading MediaWiki?

• Sounds reasonable to me. I have to admit the wiki seems pretty useless as it currently stands. Thanks for being willing to do this! Jiml (talk) 01:25, 2 October 2014 (EDT)
