Many comics tend to have very simplistic names, which makes disambugation annoying. Given that there are thousands of comics, 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]?

== 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)

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. 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. Swordopolis (Swordopolis) 16:31, 29 December 2023‎ (EDT)

Broken nav for Laws-and-sausages[edit]

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[edit]

Inserting <!-- a comment --> 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. TinyPonies (talk) 13:50, 9 October 2024 (EDT)

Proposal for Explain namespace[edit]

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 Explain: namespace?

TinyPonies (talk) 15:07, 13 October 2024 (EDT)
At the moment, there should be 26 non-comic pages. Using the API to scan, I've found 24 in Main:, 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 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[edit]

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 (edit 1 and edit 2). But I couldn't remove them, so now the wiki looks kind of desperate.
