PBEM Game: Yarnspinners 2 (Running)

[Alneyan]

Never mind, it all seems to be working fine again. I guess that was just another prank; my computer seems to love jokes, such as "preventing user from going to most sites" or "making user think computer single-handedly prevented a crash from happening, a crash so severe it would have destroyed the world, had it not been stopped".

I have not forgotten about the game. I will use Sunday morning to get my act together!!

I have been playing with the Wiki, but I can't seem to get my Turn 0 to post properly. It seems like edits don't happen, and when you go to T'ien Ch'i, the turn does not display (but it shows up if you look at all of my "exciting posts."

What am I doing wrong?

Hey PawshaDawg,

Hit the "Refresh" button at the top of the wiki. (Or copy one over from another page, like the main page, if it somehow got erased.) If you are a registered user, you can also turn off caching in your preferences, so each page will be forced to reload when new changes are made.

I had something like this happen to me yesterday. I edited VanheimTurn0, it showed up quickly in the "master" Turn0, but didn't show up in Vanheim until later (10 minutes?), no matter how I refreshed or cleared my caches. I suggest, be patient. If you see nothing after, say, 20 minutes, maybe we should worry.

Right now (10:40 am EDT), I see what you describe: prose on master Turn0, but not on master Tien Chi page.

My suspicion is that it has something to do with how the server picks up pages that it "includes" in other pages. The nation Turn0 pages are "included" in the master Turn0 via a wiki command (eg, "{{VanheimTurn0}}").

[puffyn]

Yeah, djo was right, your include got erased somehow. I put one back in, and voila: turny goodness.

[djo]

Aha, I didn't click edit to check. Stupid (or more likely, lazy) me...

For those who haven't wiki'd yet: when you edit your nation page, the lines that do the magic are these:


== Turn0 == <----- creates the heading
{{:VanheimTurn0}} <----- includes your turn 0 page

[{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:VanheimTurn0|ac tion=edit}} Edit this yarn]
[[Turn0|See all of Vanheim's exciting posts]] <----- adds edit/view links


...although on looking at the link, and those on a few other nation pages, it looks like they don't quite do what I thought they'd do. "See all of xx's posts" ought to point to the nation page, n'est-ce pas? Probably ought to be:

[[Vanheim|See all of Vanheim's exciting posts]]

Was that the intent? If so, I can fix mine, and a few others...that's the beauty of wiki; easy for everyone to pitch in and clean things up.

[puffyn]

Ooops... the text is wrong. On the race pages, I meant it to say, "See all yarns for Turn0", etc, so you can easily get back to the turn pages, where the link says "See all of race's yarns".

But yes, that is the joy of wiki: I don't have to fix all of my own mistakes if other people are happy to do it for me

[djo]

To be complete, the other thing you'll see on your nation page is "__NOEDITSECTION__", which means, no edit links for each section. Notice how the main page *does* have those links.

The table of contents comes along magically if you have enough sections.

[PashaDawg]

Hmmmm... I am still not sure what to do. The text got updated. However, it does not show up unless I "refresh" the page. What's up with that? Is it me?
