Forum:Forum:Page showing up as deleted.
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
My brand new page http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Flea is showing up as deleted when I link people to it, however I can see it. I asked in the irc earlier if they could look at. One of the users said they did something to try and fix it, but it didn't work. 2600:1000:B102:F521:516B:4F67:5908:A4B5 19:42, 2 June 2013 (EDT)
- Showing up fine on Safari, Chrome, Firefox, on OS X and IOS, on a iMac, iPad, and iPhone,... and Google Glass (Congratz, first user article viewed via the device) ^.^ Don't see anything apparently wrong with it, will post your article address elsewhere, and try to link from there.
- Also, it would help better to address Flea than "user 2600:1000:B102:F521:516B:4F67:5908:A4B5". =) Check if name is available for your convenience - Spirou 19:52, 2 June 2013 (EDT)
- Yes, yes it does if linked from elsewhere "'deleted. 22:00, 23 October 2006 GreenReaper (Talk | contribs) deleted "Flea" (Neofurism)".
- All right, there is an issue with Flea (assistance requested), but even if it had displayed correctly, your article would have been moved to make way for a Disambiguation page. Just refer to the pertinent people your new article address. Hope this helped - Spirou 20:39, 2 June 2013 (EDT)
- Okay, tested your new address just in case (embarrassing if the new one bombed too), and it seems to be running just fine. Wherever the old article comes up, it will now direct to a name disambiguation page, so you may tell whoever you announced initially too to disregard it as your official entry (or they can click on your name link in the page, either way it will work). Give us a heads up if you need further assistance - Spirou 21:00, 2 June 2013 (EDT)
- Thanks for looking into this for me. Is there a reason that Flea needs a disambiguation page and I can't just have it to myself? The other topic doesn't even have an entry. Flea 23:30, 2 June 2013 (EDT)
- Well, normally such a page is created when similar, closely named, articles are to be found on a Wiki. But with the recent deletion of two of the entries, and one just about an obscure secondary animation character (easily covered by the article), we could redirect it again directly to your name. Be forewarned that the "deleted" issue is still active (for only some users now, thought), so, it may appear here internally, but you may be temporarily off the grid until a mediawiki troubleshooting Colleague can take a look at it - Spirou 23:43, 2 June 2013 (EDT)
- Ah, okay cool thanks. I'm sure the problem will get taken care of eventually and it's not like people are dying to read about my life as an animal person. :P Thanks again! Flea 23:47, 2 June 2013 (EDT)
