Talk:Wikia Migration

The test server is now available at http://asheron.wikia.com/wiki/ACC_Wiki_Home. Almost all extensions have been installed, however there are one or two that are still being worked on. --Tlosk 12:55, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

You will not be able to login using your ACC Wiki login, however if you have a Wikia account already (or create one) you can use that. The user accounts database isn't merged only as a final step once we have actually moved to Wikia. (If you create a Wikia account with the same name, use the same email address as you have associated with your ACC Wiki login to avoid any issues when merging).

You can change the skin used to our current skin by going to your preferences after logging in and under the Skins section select Monobook and uncheck "Let the admins override my skin choice".

Please look over the site this weekend and note any issues, observations, suggestions below.

Unexpected Behavior

Image Galleries

Various image galleries are not displaying correctly, for me anyway. This can be seen at http://asheron.wikia.com/wiki/Artwork, http://asheron.wikia.com/wiki/Hieromancers'_Halls#Images, and http://asheron.wikia.com/wiki/Yalain#Art_.26_Images among other places. An odd behavior I noticed is that while the File:Yalain Imperial Seal.jpg does not display on the gallery, I can create a link like this or enter http://asheron.info/~asheron/index.php/File:Yalain_Imperial_Seal.jpg and the image does display. --An Adventurer 16:35, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

This appears to be an issue for any image that is resized smaller and for thumbnails. I haven't found any image that won't display as itself, but no resizings I have seen so far display (some are entirely blank, some have a placeholder). --Tlosk 17:13, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Look with MonoBook skin

When switching to the default wikipedia skin, there seems to be 125 extra pixels at the right side of all articles, and all pages are framed or boxed. --An Adventurer 16:46, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Sidebar

The sidebar (links on the left side) will need customization once the site is live, so the current appearance both in Monaco and Monobook isn't how it will be later. --Tlosk 17:05, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Account merge/rename/problems? Post here

Post below for any account related issues and requests. I will be collating a list of requests for the techs to go through. If merging, please ensure your Wikia account's email matches your ACC Wiki account's email.

Please remember to include your exact current and proposed usernames. --Tlosk 16:58, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

For example:

Merge: I am "Asheron's Servant" on ACC Wiki and and I am "Servant of Asheron" on Wikia, please merge to "Servant of Asheron". --Asheron's Servant 16:35, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Rename: I am now "AC-Tom" and would like to be renamed to "Tom of Harvestgain". --AC-Tom 16:35, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Requests

Merge: I am "RyanR" on ACC Wiki and and I am "Dr Doom HG" on Wikia, please merge to "Dr Doom HG". --RyanR 17:05, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
