Oolite Bulletins

I've just done a reasonably significant upgrade to the system software on http://wiki.alioth.net - please PM me if you find significant borkage (such as lost database connections etc.)

It should be working fine though.

Since you’re in the mood to fiddle with that, I wonder if you have any idea why the following are not listed as subcategories of Category:Ooolite:

• Category:Oolite expansion packs
• Category:Oolite Ships
• Category:Oolite scripting
• Category:Ship OXPs

All of these are non-empty categories which are declared as being in Category:Oolite. The same is true of Category:Oolite Development, which is listed on Category:Ooolite. I think there are others, too, but those are the ones I can remember.

And can you do something on the uploadable file-sizes? IIRC there still was a quite low limit.

If the issue has already been addressed, then just forget this remark.

All of those listed are actually included but you need to go to the next 200 results to see them.

Bah, so they are. It never even occurred to me that that would apply to subcategories. :-/

And it shouldn't apply to them, because everybody would expect them listed completely on the first screen. So it is a bug.

…unless there are more than 200 subcategories. :-)

Having identified the problem, I’ve read up on the subject and fixed it.

But where has Category:Oolite Development gone now?

Nothing linked in that category actually exists, except Oolite itself and Oolite JavaScript OM Specification, which is out-of-date but will be somewhat useful for reference while developing the JS interface for 1.70. (I don’t know how the category page is referring to non-existent pages, though…)

Anyway, given the above, and since there’s no obvious way to delete it, I made it no longer a subcategory of Category:Oolite. In the same way, Category:Ship OXPs is no longer a direct subcategory of Category:Oolite, as it can be reached through Category:Oolite expansion packs.

Hat's off to Onjo the Red I've just looked at the Wiki and it is superb work, well done, have a pint of Riedquat ale on me.
