Howdy! Are you a human or a bot? My first encounter with you was on my Talk page (linked in my signature) You seem to be doing a whole lot of work on the wiki and I just wanted to say thanks, either way. If you're a bot, I'd love to make you a User Page. If you're a human, I might do the same. Pleased to make your internet acquaintance. --Eugene (talk) 07:04, 14 February 2016 (PST)

Wow, I'm honored! I hope I do the title proud!--Eugene (talk) 10:53, 15 February 2016 (PST)

I have a concern about some busted code in the database. I get this message when I try to add certain templates. Who actually owns the server space? See below error message. --Eugene (talk) 11:31, 15 February 2016 (PST)

Notice: Uncommitted DB writes (transaction from DatabaseBase::query (LinkBatch::doQuery (for Skin::preloadExistence))). in /home/richiepp/bikecollectives.org/wiki/includes/db/Database.php on line 4266

giving a user access to "bot" lets them run prescribed automated scripts. It would be up to Godwin to do some work in the sql backend (external to the wiki interface). --Eugene (talk) 16:03, 15 February 2016 (PST)

Do not worry about that error message. Wikimedia was updated on October 16 to 1.24 by an unknown user, most likely, an automated action at Dreamhost. The Skin autodiscovery mechanism is no long used to load default skins, and it produces this error. At the time, I had to go into the database to fix blockbuster issues that prevented users from logging into the website. This required adding new columns that did not exist in the database after the update. The database is very large, so there must have been a failure during the update. Updates should never be performed before the database has been backed-up, however, this was not the procedure used. Anyways, everything appears to be working properly. I would consider moving the wiki to one of my servers if the hosting costs would be covered. --PositiveSpin (talk) 23:14, 15 February 2016 (PST)
