Retro CDN:Bug tracker

Sega Retro

Extension:Cargo

The cargo_query command can't cope with strings that contain quotes (see sega:Template_talk:Creditstable#double_quotes for discussion).

Extension:UploadLocal

Broken.

Extension:PdfHandler

No thumbnails for 10-20% of existing PDFs.

Pages with large numbers of PDF thumbnails take a long time to load, or fail to load entirely.

Realistically, this won't be fixed until one of three things happen:

• ImageMagick gets a rewrite that can take advantage of GPU processing
• Retro upgrades its server memory
• Retro upgrades the number of cores on the CPU

Until then, we kind of have to muddle through with the power we have. - Scarred Sun (talk) 16:52, 25 June 2018 (CDT)

Bullet points

Bullet points are broken. The following text:

* 1st point
** 2nd point

ends up looking like this:

• 1st point
  •  
  • 2nd point

Further breakages when used in conjunction with templates: sega:Puyo Puyo Tetris/Hidden content

Extension:TimedMediaHandler

Some videos are not playable/transcoded because of an error. (example)

Other videos are added to the job queue but never transcoded. (example)

Editing

The menu bar (bold, italics, etc.) is missing when editing a page.

Uploads

Pre-upload image previews on the upload form are missing.

NEC Retro

CSS

The style sheets were never fully ironed out for NEC Retro - galleries have black backgrounds, and some line breaks are being ignored (example). The latter might be a template issue but it also highlights differing font sizes.

Can you please specify issues? Did a couple of link tweaks but could not find original issues. - Scarred Sun (talk) 20:08, 29 October 2017 (CDT)

Extension:UploadLocal

Broken.

Special:RecentChanges

Special:RecentChanges is always empty.

Templates

Many templates are missing, though they still appear in the template category. (example)

Retro CDN

Extension:GlobalUsage

Files still appear on Special:UnusedFiles, despite being used on other wikis.

There is now a Special:GloballyUnusedFiles page, which is more useful but it still includes files used on Retro CDN. There should be a "Special:ReallyUnusedFiles". - Hivebrain (talk) 14:21, 22 November 2019 (EST)

Files that are used by Sega Retro have a second duplicate usage list. (example)

File usage lists are unlinked. (example)

Extension:TimedMediaHandler

OGG, FLAC and WAV files are not playable/transcoded. (File:WorkyworkyOGG.ogg, File:WorkyworkyFLAC.flac, File:WorkyworkyWAV.wav)

Videos are added to the job queue but not transcoded. (example)

Images

Large images are not thumbnailed. (example)

All or multiple wikis

Categories

Files aren't added to categories unless edited/poked. As such, files uploaded via UploadLocal have the appearance of being uncategorised.

Does this still happen for anything uploaded nowadays? - Scarred Sun (talk) 17:00, 25 June 2018 (CDT)

This is no longer a thing on Retro CDN. Yet to test on other wikis -Black Squirrel (talk) 11:54, 28 June 2018 (CDT)

Extension:TimedMediaHandler

MP4s stored on Retro CDN cause an error when viewed on other wikis. (example)

Known issue, see Phrabricator:T63986. - Scarred Sun (talk) 19:36, 29 October 2017 (CDT)

$wgEnableScaryTranscluding

Cross-wiki transclusion no longer works in most cases. The only place I've got it to work is NEC Retro, transcluding from Sonic Retro (i.e. {{raw:sonic:MD}}).

It's disabled on Retro CDN.

		remote wiki
		Sega	Sonic	NEC	CDN
host wiki	Sega	x	unevaluated	unevaluated	blank
	Sonic	unevaluated	x	unevaluated	blank
	NEC	blank	works	x	blank
	CDN	disabled	disabled	disabled	x

• works = works as expected
• blank = nothing appears (example)
• unevaluated = code appears unevaluated, e.g. "{{raw:sonic:MD}}"
• disabled = code replaced with "[Interwiki transcluding is disabled]"
