Sonic Retro

PDFs

PDFs stored on Retro CDN no longer have thumbnails on Sonic Retro. (example)

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: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)

Appears to be working now, although the transcodes need poking to get them to transcode. - Hivebrain (talk) 00:51, 28 July 2020 (EDT)

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.

Thumbnails

Some images don't display thumbnails, although the thumbnails exist and can be viewed via their full url. (example)

Skin

The "SegaRetro" skin is broken. (example)

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)

Special:RecentChanges

Special:RecentChanges is always empty.

Templates

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

Not just templates actually, some fraction of regular pages are missing. (example 1, example 2)

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)

There's no way to fix this from within the wiki, but I think file lists are generated by includes/GlobalUsageImagePageHooks.php. - Hivebrain (talk) 16:03, 21 July 2020 (EDT)

Extension:TimedMediaHandler

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

The OGG file is playable. - Hivebrain (talk) 00:57, 28 July 2020 (EDT)

Videos are added to the job queue but not transcoded. (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. Transcluding from Sonic Retro always works (i.e. {{raw:sonic:MD}}).

		remote wiki
		Sega	Sonic	NEC	CDN
host wiki	Sega	x	works	blank	blank
	Sonic	blank	x	blank	blank
	NEC	blank	works	x	blank
	CDN	blank	works	blank	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]"

Moving APKs

APK files can't be moved, presumably because they're just ZIP files with a renamed extension.

The page could not be moved, for the following reason:

The new file extension does not match its type.
