21 Dec 2020

  • extensions/MetaTemplate/MetaTemplate_body.php: Fixed #load redirect issue. Robin Hood(talk) 08:34, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

18 Dec 2020

  • extensions/SiteCustomCode/SiteNamespace.php: Modified constructor to allow all recognized namespace aliases instead of only NS_BASE and NS_ID, so code like ns_base=ESO will now properly link to Online space. Robin Hood(talk) 04:22, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
  • Wiki emails are now escaped with quoted_printable_encode() in SiteCustomCode.php to prevent = characters from being eaten. This was due to the change last month in forcing the emails to have the quoted-printable transfer encoding. -- Daveh (talk) 15:05, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

7 Dec 2020

  • Killed about 10 instances of the uesp-devjobrunner script on content3. More copies were progressively being started over several weeks which was causing server load to continually increase as well. The script stop command is likely not working. Made a weekly cron script to restart all MW job runner scripts on content3 -- Daveh (talk) 18:18, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

27 November 2020

  • Reverted changes made yesterday regarding emails. Replaced with a fuller fix by using the UserMailerTransformMessage hook in SiteCustomCode.php to change the encoding type. -- Daveh (talk) 16:34, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

26 November 2020

  • Modified the includes/specials/SpecialEmailuser.php file on content1/2/3. Remove space in email footer string on Line 339. The space creates an issue with DKIM signing due to the space turning into a =20 at some point. Also modified the MediaWiki:Emailuserfooter message to prevent line splitting (?) by inserting a = character. -- Daveh (talk) 20:34, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

3 September 2020

  • Gave bots the deletedhistory ("View deleted history entries, without their associated text") permission. This allows them to easily determine whether a page has previously been deleted before trying to edit the page instead of only after. Previously, the only other way was to query the log en masse or page-by-page, both of which are a waste of bandwidth. Robin Hood(talk) 00:25, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

6 August 2020

  • Updated the chain certificates on content1/2/3, files1, squid1, and backup1 (should have done it in March when updating the root cert). -- Daveh (talk) 13:59, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

29 July 2020

22 June 2020

  • MetaTemplate/MetaTemplate_body.php: Fixed an issue with redirect resolution in #load. Robin Hood  (talk) 01:28, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

20 May 2020

  • config/CommonSettings.php: Switch "GMT" back to "UTC". Seems to have been changed accidentally during PHP 5.6 upgrade. Robin Hood  (talk) 10:16, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

7 May 2020

  • extensions/MobileFrontEnd/resources/mobile.search.api/SearchApi.js, resources/src/mediawiki/mediawiki.searchSuggest.js: Added new namespaces. Robin Hood  (talk) 00:31, 7 May 2020 (GMT)

5 May 2020

  • config/Namespaces.php: Added new Merchandise, Pinball, and Skyrim VSE namespaces. Robin Hood  (talk) 21:00, 5 May 2020 (GMT)

27 April 2020

  • Added recent namespaces to the two search suggest JS files (desktop and mobile sites) to permit results being returned from those namespaces. Added Call to Arms and Other Mod to the search checkboxes. Removed the Dragonborn namespace from search. -- Daveh (talk) 13:53, 27 April 2020 (GMT)

20 April 2020

  • Made a bunch of changes related to the canonical URLs of uesp.net:
  • Removed *.m.uesp.net and app.uesp.net from Google search results (may take a few days to see a change).
  • Removed the old canonical link in wiki headers. Changed it to use the $wgCanonicalServer MW variable which is set to https://XX.uesp.net/wiki/ARTICLE.
  • Added an alternate link to the mobile canonical https://XX.m.uesp.net/wiki/ARTICLE.
Daveh (talk) 15:19, 20 April 2020 (GMT)

13 April 2020

  • Added reverse DNS PTR records for content1/2/3 and squid1 which should help prevent HotMail from thinking our e-mails are spam. -- Daveh (talk) 13:54, 13 April 2020 (GMT)

9 April 2020

  • Added TesOtherMod/TOM namespace. Robin Hood  (talk) 19:28, 9 April 2020 (GMT)

7 April 2020

  • Enable WEBP image upload and thumbnail display (required basic custom extension added to UespCustomCode). -- Daveh (talk) 17:31, 7 April 2020 (GMT)
  • Fixed jquery.ui dependency issue on mobile. -- Daveh (talk) 18:39, 7 April 2020 (GMT)

6 April 2020

  • Installed the SyntaxHighlight extension. Was already installed but had to run composer and update dependencies and enable it in the config. -- Daveh (talk) 14:37, 6 April 2020 (GMT)
  • Enable WEBM upload and display. -- Daveh (talk) 19:41, 6 April 2020 (GMT)

6 April 2020

  • Any visit to a X.m.uesp.net site is now forced to use the mobile skin. This fixes mobile view auto-detect for logged in users as well as the View Mobile Version link on the toolbar and the Mobile View link at the bottom of the page. -- Daveh (talk) 14:10, 6 April 2020 (GMT)

26 March 2020

  • Changed Varnish config to use a hash-based load balancer and provide for a 1 hour grace period if the server is down. -- Daveh (talk) 16:30, 26 March 2020 (GMT)

25 March 2020

  • All sites should now be running on the new servers. -- Daveh (talk) 16:30, 22 March 2020 (GMT)

10 March 2020

  • Updated all SSL certificates for another 2 years. -- Daveh (talk) 16:53, 10 March 2020 (GMT)

21 February 2020

  • config/Namespaces.php: Temporarily restricted Skyrim and Dragonborn namespaces to bot only for Dragonborn→Skyrim merge. Robin Hood  (talk) 22:40, 21 February 2020 (GMT)

14 February 2020

  • Changed maps and esoicons to a new Lighttpd server hosted on backup1 to try and alleviate the load on files1. -- Daveh (talk) 15:19, 14 February 2020 (GMT)
