Thanks for that edit, BOY, that was embarrassing.

No problem at all. God knows I've made the same kind of mistake more than once.

EDIT: But now I'm envisioning the Oompa-Loompa popping Wolverine claws... <grin>

Lol

...I'm aware that my site and forums are returning a 503 error page. I've already filed a ticket with my host's tech support. With luck it'll be resolved soon.

And it's been restored, as of about an hour ago.

Miraheze announced that they would be shutting down later this year, and then a group of volunteers decided to take it over. However, I don’t know if they will be able to keep the platform running like Miraheze Ltd. did. Any plans on where to migrate ATT to in case Miraheze shuts down?

Hello, @Bauerbach. Looney Toons is on vacation at the moment.

The "group of volunteers" that you mentioned is lead by @Labster, one of the two founding admins of ATT and previous Chief Financial Officer of Miraheze before they incorporated in the UK. The rest of the bureaucrats here are at least advising him on how to proceed. While we have contingency plans just in case we can't save Miraheze, we're operating under the assumption that the "save Miraheze" plans will let us continue here.

If we can't, well, it looks like what's in the middle of being done right now will let us self-host the wiki.

OK, that’s good.

I am not totally incommunicado during my vacation. Rob's covered everything, though, and there's nothing for me to add.

OK then!

On several edits. I had actually meant to call it the "Antikythera of Archimedies" but forgot the "of" part. I'll remember the "Mechanism" for future edits.

... but you get to fix the resulting redlink here.

Sorry, mistake on my part. I've undone the reversion.

Thanks.

I accidentally created a second account, (called HeneryVIII) while trying to log in. Not sure how to delete it, if that's even necessary.

You won't get in trouble with anyone for having two accounts, although Miraheze does ask "Please only create accounts you intend to use."

If it really worries you, the Stewards can help - make the request here.

What Rob said. ATT's main issue with multiple accounts is when they're clearly created either by spammers or vandals, and that usually happens quickly because neither type is prone to patience and careful long-term planning. If we see several accounts with similar names being created in the span of an hour or so, that's when we are likely to be unhappy.

I really feel dumb right now, seeing as I wrote the first example...

I thought that might be the case, given how closely the two resembled each other. And don't feel too bad, I've done the same kind of thing myself more than a couple times over the years.

The wiki thinks I have not made 10 edits, so blocks me from editing my user page, despite having made 31.

Try now.

Still doesn't work. Something wrong on Miraheze's end?

I'll have to ask the other admins. I'm not the technical guy, I'm a content guy. I tried adding the autopatrolled group to your account, which I thought would make the difference, but it clearly didn't.

EDIT: In addition to that, I'll drop a ping here so everyone else on the mod team gets called in. Someone should know what to do.

@Labster @Looney Toons @GethN7 @Robkelk @QuestionableSanity @Derivative @SelfCloak

This may be a bug with the user permissions Miraheze allows to be assigned to certain groups. If we can eliminate all other potential causes and it's still happening, we may need to escalate it to them, since it hooks into and modifies MediaWIki's stock permission assignment code.

They came back up again.

Not even a year since the last time, too. Trying to call my host's support line gets me a fast busy signal. Their own site is up, so I'm a little confused what might be happening. There's nothing on their Twitter feed or Facebook page either.

@Labster @Looney Toons @GethN7 @Robkelk @QuestionableSanity @Derivative @SelfCloak

Within the last couple minutes they have identified the problem. From their Twitter feed:

NetCarrier @NetCarrier · 1m Replying to @JoeKellyWD We found the issues in a fiber connection, our team is dispatched to resolve.

Your forum is back.

Yeah, I just posted to that effect there.

Thanks, though.
