Editing Talk:Main Page

Hello!

It looks like the Discord link has expired again, as I'm getting an "Unable to accept invite" message.

I'd love to help with this site!  Looking forward to connecting for further coordination. [[User:Swordopolis|Swordopolis]] ([[User talk:Swordopolis|Swordopolis]]) 16:29, 29 December 2023‎ (EDT)

:Clearly this is not the best place for this message, but I didn't find a way to connect with @Smbcwiki-admin more directly.  Hopefully this gets your attention and we can delete this together. [[User:Swordopolis|Swordopolis]] ([[User talk:Swordopolis|Swordopolis]]) 16:31, 29 December 2023‎ (EDT)

== Broken nav for [[Laws-and-sausages]] ==

The proper order is [[Fortune]] > [[Laws-and-sausages]] > [[The-greatest-generation]], but when using the nav buttons on the wiki, the order is [[Fortune]] > [[The-greatest-generation]] from either of those, and [[Wrestling-2]] > [[Laws-and-sausages]] > [[Powerful-magic]] when starting from [[Laws-and-sausages]].

Something to do with comic IDs?

== Broken comments ==

Inserting <code>&lt;!-- a comment --></code> in the wikitext, then clicking '''Preview''', causes the page to crash and display a 403 error, losing all changes you've made. But it seems to work if you just click '''Save changes'''. [[User:TinyPonies|TinyPonies]] ([[User talk:TinyPonies|talk]]) 13:50, 9 October 2024 (EDT)

== Proposal for ''Explain'' namespace ==

Many comics tend to have very simplistic names, which makes disambugation annoying. Given that there are thousands of comic pages, and only a few explanation pages such as [[God (character)]] or [[Zach Weinersmith]], could we move all explanation pages to an <code>Explain:</code> [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces namespace]?

::At the moment, there should be 26 non-comic pages. Using the API to scan, I've found 24 in <code>Main:</code>, which are [[Baby Moloch]], [[Bozmodiklax the Vile]], [[Buddha]], [[Chason]], [[Clowns (character)]], [[Evolution (character)]], [[Excited Symposium Attender]], [[God (character)]], [[Internet Points]], [[Jesus (character)]], [[Kelly Weinersmith]], [[List of all comics (full)]], [[Main Page]], [[Original superheroes and supervillains]], [[Phil Plait]], [[Robots]], [[SMBC]], [[Satan (character)]], [[Snow Kids]], [[Stick figures]], [[Votey]], [[Wise masters]], [[Zach Weinersmith]], and [[Zorblaxians]].
::[[References]] and [[SMBC Theater]] are also non-comic pages, but don't link anywhere else and {{mw|Manual:$wgArticleCountMethod|so aren't counted as content pages}}. However, [[Module:Navbar/styles.css]] and [[Module:Navbox/styles.css]] are, according to their info pages, and were not picked up by my script.

== 403 error on [[SMBC_Wiki:Getting_started]] ==

Clicking '''Edit''' then '''Preview''' causes the page to crash with a 403 error. (Windows 11, Firefox v131 and Chrome Version 129.0.6668.90 (Official Build) (64-bit)) But for editing sections, previewing and saving seems to work fine. Also, I was able to edit the full page, add an exclamation point, and save ([https://smbc-wiki.com/index.php?title=SMBC_Wiki:Getting_started&oldid=30760 edit 1] and [https://smbc-wiki.com/index.php?title=SMBC_Wiki:Getting_started&oldid=30762 edit 2]). But I couldn't remove them, so now the wiki looks kind of desperate. [[User:TinyPonies|TinyPonies]] ([[User talk:TinyPonies|talk]]) 14:54, 13 October 2024 (EDT)
