I can't seem to get [[special:confirmemail]] to work. Do you think this might just be on my end? [[User:Arlo|Arlo]] ([[User talk:Arlo|talk]]) 02:37, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

thanks for bringing back a space for communing!

cheers, Arlo (talk) 10:26, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

woo, thanks DanQ! I have a few expeditions I made in the past months I have to report about :) --SastRe.O (talk) 13:28, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Thank you so much, DanQ! --Fippe (talk) 10:45, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Uploading images

Hi DanQ! Thanks a lot for bringing back the wiki. However, I can't find the option to upload images; can you help? FelixTheCat (talk) 22:01, 2 February 2020 (UTC)


Whoops! Should be back now. I've also added gpx as a permitted file type because it always bugged me that it wasn't. --DanQ (talk) 22:04, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
Thanks! I just created my first new expedition report, and everything seems to be working fine! I'll start working on my backlog tomorrow :-) FelixTheCat (talk) 22:18, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Bots and Maps

Hi Dan, thank you again for bringing the site back.

I have a request: Could you add User:FippeBot to the bot group? That way it won't spam the recent changes when making it's edits. Before the Dark Ages, it tagged expedition pages with {{location}}, but it could also take care of changing the links to wiki.xkcd.com. --Fippe (talk) 17:18, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Done! --DanQ (talk)
Thank you very much! --Fippe (talk) 06:57, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

A weird error happens when I try to access 2019-01-02 -43 172. Do you know why? --Fippe (talk) 08:05, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Looks like the <math> tag was breaking it; not yet sure why. Removing it fixed the problem for now; I'll look more-deeply later. --DanQ (talk) 09:15, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
Nice, thank you! --Fippe (talk) 10:10, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

The new OSM maps are nice. It is good that we no longer have Google's "for dev purposes only" message. I haven't encountered any problems at {{meetup graticule}}, but at {{meetup global}} the map does not display anything. There was a bug pre-Dark Ages as well, it used to display wrong coordinates. Now it does not display any coordinates at all, which I find weird, as it seems to call the same function which {{meetup graticule}} is calling. --Fippe (talk) 17:18, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

I didn't get a copy of the original mapping extension with my dump of the database, so I had to reimplement by reverse-engineering; I missed globalhashes when I did so. I've now added them, aaaand... I've hopefully managed to fix them so globalhash maps work. If you're able to check a few (you might need to purge/edit-and-resave pages to refresh the maps) that'd be appreciated! --DanQ (talk)
Currently it seems that there is a mistake in the calculations. I checked 2019-12-15 global, where the map now exists, which is very good. However, even after editing and purging, it currently seems to show the coordinates for the Geohash in the graticule of the Globalhash, not the coordinates of the Globalhash.
And now as I am writing this it seems that now it changed and the correct coordinates of the Globalhash are indeed marked, even on Globalhash pages such as 1990-04-20 global which I have neither edited nor purged. Did you just change something? It is working now, thank you! --Fippe (talk) 10:10, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
Cache gremlins, I guess. --DanQ (talk) 06:39, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
