29 January 2024[edit]

  • Created new group for employees to facilitate managing rights that AKB, ThalJ, and any future employees require that don't fit readily into any other groups.

  • Created new group for interface editors to better prepare for permissions changes coming in MediaWiki 1.32. See User Group Rights. Robin Hood(talk) 03:38, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

16 January 2024[edit]

11 January 2024[edit]

  • Fixed issue with MetaTemplate that caused some pages to not be cached in the parser cache causing them to be continually re-parsed whenever requested. -- Daveh (talk) 17:13, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

27 October 2023[edit]

  • Tweaked Varnish config to try and improve cache hit rate for anonymous users (previously hit a cap around 55%). -- Daveh (talk) 18:41, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Note: This was reverted shortly afterwards due to issues serving cached documents to logged in users.

21 June 2023[edit]

  • Animated WEBP images will no longer have animated thumbnails to prevent a reocurring page load/timeout issue. -- Daveh (talk) 16:42, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

8 June 2023[edit]

7 June 2023[edit]

  • Commented out image resizing in extensions/MobileFrontend/resources/skins.minerva.content.styles/images.less (lines 52-57) as it was causing resizing of some thumbnails on Skyrim:Specialty Gear. Robin Hood(talk) 02:51, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

2 March 2023[edit]

  • Updated the SSL cert for all uesp.net domains. -- Daveh (talk) 15:43, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

15 December 2022[edit]

30 September 2022[edit]

  • Reverted change on content2 from yesterday due to random Apache crashes (no obvious cause). -- Daveh (talk) 14:05, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

29 September 2022[edit]

  • Enabled HTTP2 for Nginx on squid1. -- Daveh (talk) 17:50, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Enabled HTTP2 for the wiki on content2 (see User:Daveh/HTTP2). -- Daveh (talk) 17:12, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

22 September 2022[edit]

5 September 2022[edit]

  • Tweaked the mobile skin in order for default preferences to be displayed (including Patreon). -- Daveh (talk) 20:14, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

28 July 2022[edit]

  • Disabled MetaTemplate on SFWiki since it was causing errors and is about to be replaced by Riven anyway. The remaining non-Riven functions likely don't work under MW 1.35. Robin Hood(talk) 02:00, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
    • Re-enabled, but with the MetaTemplate functions that Riven took over disabled, like on UESP. Despite MediaWiki's purported plan, it seems at least some of the parser functions are working as intended. Whether or not they are, they're at least preventing raw code from being displayed on-screen. Robin Hood(talk) 03:32, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

25 July 2022[edit]

  • Moved ElasticSearch index from content2 to search1. Was re-indexed from scratch last week. -- Daveh (talk) 14:48, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

10 July 2022[edit]

  • (content3 only) '/includes/jobqueue/JobQueue.php': Temporarily set job queue maximum attempts in constructor to 20 instead of the normal 3 to clear out a large number of abandoned jobs that were stuck. These are likely fallout from the Riven issues a few days ago. Will return to normal 3 once job queue is empty. Robin Hood(talk) 22:51, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

5 May 2022[edit]

  • Installed the Imagick PHP extension in content1/2/3 for PHP 5.6, 7.1 and 7.4. -- Daveh (talk) 15:33, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

3 May 2022[edit]

  • Manually modified resources/src/mediawiki/mediawiki.js on content1/2/3 according to this patch to fix a JS error on mobile when trying to run user scripts. -- Daveh (talk) 16:16, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

15 April 2022[edit]

  • Moved all image/file services off the existing files1 server to the new files1 server. -- Daveh (talk) 16:39, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

17 February 2022[edit]

  • Updated all SSL certificates for the uesp.net domain on content1/2/3, files1, and squid1. -- Daveh (talk) 15:30, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

  • Started using PHP 7.1 for the wiki on content1. -- Daveh (talk) 15:09, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

  • Started PHP 7.1 on content1/2 FPM on port 9000 and PHP 7.4 on content1/2 on port 9003. Was already running on content3. -- Daveh (talk) 20:56, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Installed the WikiEditor extension. -- Daveh (talk) 21:31, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

27 November 2021[edit]

  • Fixed issue in MetaTemplate that was causing server side errors when previewing a page that doesn't yet exist. -- Daveh (talk) 13:58, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

7 September 2021[edit]

  • Set the $wgMFContentNamespace variable for the MobileFrontEnd extension so random page on mobile would actually be random and not just from the main namespace. -- Daveh (talk) 13:15, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

30 August 2021[edit]

  • Installed the experimental search-highlighter plugin on ElasticSearch. -- Daveh (talk) 16:51, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

21 June 2021[edit]

  • Removed all phpinfo.php files. Can be re-enabled upon request for development if needed. -- Daveh (talk) 18:50, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

  • Added correct SVG/SVGZ mime types to lighttpd config on files1. -- Daveh (talk) 14:47, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

19 May 2021[edit]

  • Gadgets/includes/MediaWikiGadgetsDefinitionRepo.php: Added missing case near the end that was preventing gadgets from being hidden when requested. Robin Hood(talk) 10:21, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

12 May 2021[edit]

  • MobileFrontend/resources/skins.minerva.content.styles/hacks.less: Commented out the &.infobox section, which was causing several formatting issues on mobile. Robin Hood(talk) 17:20, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

3 May 2021[edit]

  • Turned off the query cache on db1/db2. No noticeable effect on wiki load times or ESO log load times observed. -- Daveh (talk) 13:05, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
