Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Reporting wiki bugs

From Guild Wars 2 Wiki

---

This page is for reporting bugs that you may encounter in the wiki. This does not cover in-game issues that you may encounter, nor does it cover page contents within individual articles.

• If you are experiencing an in-game bug or issue that requires technical support, check the Guild Wars support site.
• If you are experiencing difficulties getting past a specific part of the game, use the "Search" box on the left to find the specific quest, mission, or region that you are finding difficult. You can review any tips on that page, and discuss it on that page's talk page if more help is needed.
• If you have a problem with contents of a page, use the associated talk page.

Please review existing bug reports before creating a new one. If you add a bug not related to the wiki (such as a bug in the game itself), the report may be removed with no action taken.

When reporting a new bug, be sure to provide a description of the problem, your wiki username, the information from any error message received, and any additional comments that may help someone reproduce and troubleshoot the suspected bug.

[edit] Maintenance

Wow, sucks that they'll have to get up at 2AM to work on the wiki. — ク Eloc 貢 09:16, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Caching issues

Things are still quite slow to update on some pages; User talk:Shadowphoenix/monobook.js is an example. The latest comment doesn't appear, but can be seen through the diff. Also, I become "logged in" as the last user to respond, in this case Calor. It does update, but it takes a while. It still happens with images too. -- pling | ggggg 03:27, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Pliiiinng, er, Brains. I'll pass this along ;) -- Emily Diehl (talk) 22:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

And again (or still). On Image:User indochine dsk tree.png, I'm logged in as User:Indochine. And there seems to be a session loss sometimes when editing pages. I had to press save 4 times, before it was finally saved. poke | talk 16:13, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

I have the same problem with that recently uploaded image; I get a "No file by this name exists, you can upload it. " as well. -- pling | ggggg 16:17, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ancient Dragons

When I right-click on the picture of Grothmar and open it in a new window, the new window shows that I'm logged in as User:BigBlue and the language is different. If I click a link, it changes back to me, though. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(talk) 13:17, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Wizard. I'll pass that along. -- Emily Diehl (talk) 22:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

It tells me I'm logged out, but when I click on a link everything's fine again. This is when I open it in a new tab, new window or just the same window/tab. -- Mini Me Image:User Mini Me sig.png 22:31, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Watchlist issues

When I login and click on my watchlist, it just logs me out. I got cookies enabled, and have no troubles doing that on Guild Wars Wiki, but for some reason it doesn't work for me here.

And now just trying to click Save page, it says "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in." Took about 4 times of logging in/out for this to finally work. — ク Eloc 貢 01:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Loss of session data

Like, I keep getting this message when trying to edit things: "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in." It's really annoying, and I can only edit ONCE when I log back in. 145.53.14.162 16:19, 13 May 2008 (UTC) Mini Me

Actually, I can't edit at all now at times, not even when I'm logged in.

Another session loss problem is that it seems as if new message are marked as unread whenever a new session starts. poke | talk 21:52, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Same (Happened when editing this line.) Drago 01:16, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Ya, happens to me constantly. — ク Eloc 貢 16:03, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Login Problems

I've been able to log in just fine over the last few days, but after editing even one page I seem to revert back to my IP, forcing me to log in again. its especially bad here, reverting me to my IP right after I log in. Is anyone else getting this? --Wandering Traveler

I am...whoah, wtf. I clicked save page as an IP and it logged me back in and said the session data error message...and now it just logged me off when I clicked save page again. 64.178.154.131 (Eloc not logged in because of this bug)

Doesn't affect me. Calor 18:55, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

That's cause you cheat. — ク Eloc 貢 00:02, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Hiya guys! This issue, along with the log in one above, should be resolved. If you see any other oddities, let me know so I can pass them along. Thanks a bunch! -- Emily Diehl (talk) 20:59, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Have it too. -- Silverleaf 21:58, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

It seems to be resolved for me. — ク Eloc 貢 15:44, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
