Hey Bunni, thanks for helping me create the Resident Evil page, just to let you know it's all done. Also, I wanted to know if you allowed 18th century weapons on this site too because I'm thinking about doing a page on The Last Samurai. Thanks.

== Upgrade Issues ==


Thanks, I just wanted to make sure it was okay with you before I started, and no problem, it was fun creating the Resident Evil page.
If you notice any upgrade issues, or hit any errors on the site, you can let us know here or email manager at imfdb.org


== The Last Samurai is finished ==
=== Known Issues ===
'''Issue:''' MediaWiki no longer allows accented characters in page titles. 1,606 pages that had accented characters in their page titles have been moved to new pages with the Broken\ prefix.
'''Plan:''' We are working on a script to automatically move these pages to new pages with valid titles.


Hey Bunni, I just wanted to let you know The Last Samurai page is finished, but some of the images I put up might need to be fixed. Sorry to bother you about it, but I don't know how to make the images fit together as well as you can. And also, I noticed you are creating a page on Heroes. I know a website where you can find the guns used on the show, go to this site:
'''Issue:''' Some images are missing.
'''Plan:''' We are working on a script to automatically pull these images from the backups.


http://heroeswiki.com/Main_Page
'''Issue:''' Full SSL encryption is now enabled. If you were logged in via http your cookie may no longer be valid.
'''Fix:''' If you see errors related to 'session hijacking' clear all imfdb.org cookies and log in again.


And search weapons, and it should bring you to a page that shows you the weapons that are used in the show, hope it helps.

== Taking a short break. ==


Hey Bunni, I just want to let you know I'll be taking a short break so I can think of a film to make a page about next. Also, thanks for editing the pages Orca and I made and putting them on Wikipedia.
There is a problem with this weapon. The link is not working. The German letter (ü) does not work in the link. --[[User:Mateogala|Emto_PL]] ([[User talk:Mateogala|talk]]) 08:47, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
:Thanks, this is the same issue as the page titles. There is a script to 'fix' the image titles but I'm not 100% sure of its consequences so I'll try it on the development server first and report back. --[[User:Bunni|bunni]] ([[User talk:Bunni|talk]]) 16:19, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

== Image:Prof-Case.jpg semi-autos ==
== "Keep me logged in" doesn't work ==


Took a look at the pistols in Image:Prof-Case.jpg, and I believe the one in the back is a Beretta Inox while the one in the front seems to be some sort of custom job using a 1911 frame. I think the revolver -might- be a Taurus of some kind. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 17:02, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
Every time I visit IMFDB after previous closing of the browser, and even after I closed the tab with the browser still active,  I have to log in again, despite I check the "Keep me logged in" box every time. This happens regardless of whether I performed any actions, or just visited the site. I changed the previously used eight-digit password to a ten-digit one, as recommended, but nothing has changed. I use Firefox, hadn't a chance to test in on Chrome or Edge. Sorry to disturb you with this issue, it's not a fatal problem, but it would be good to solve somehow in the future, it if possible. Thanks. --[[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 15:38, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
:Can you try specifically going to the https://www.imfdb.org version of the site? You have to type it in manually in the search bar, you'll know you have it because the you'll see a lock in url bar.

Thanks for the tip, that looks like the gun. RE: Apocalypse should be done today, I just have to add three more guns.
Ey, Bunni. Thanks for upgrading the website for us, I finally now have access to this account (after checking my spam folder on my email). I've seen the reports of it that was going on the [[Talk:Main Page]] and the development on it, glad to see it finally worked out there. Also, I'd give thanks to [[User:Ultimate94ninja]] too since I asked them about the problem I was having earlier. --[[User:XSlayer300|XSlayer300]] ([[User talk:XSlayer300|talk]]) 01:32, 6 September 2022 (UTC)


== Re: Scarface ==
== Another Issue ==


Thanks, I also like the job you did on Saving Private Ryan, you take better pictures then I do! Also, it might be awhile before I make another movie page, I have to get more Fullscreen dvds because most of my dvds are in Widescreen, and my picture don't come out so good with the two black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, but I'll do as much as I can. And thanks again for commenting my work on Scarface.
Hello, Bunni. I don't know if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I also have a problem: I updated the ''Verdun'' page with new images a week before the website upgrade. These were processed and shown correctly. But now the older images are back on the page.--[[User:HighPhigh|HighPhigh]] ([[User talk:HighPhigh|talk]]) 09:51, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
:I've had the same issue on other pages. The replaced images (after waiting the usual little while) had successfully updated themselves, but after the site upgrade a couple days later they reverted to their older versions, and are still stuck that way. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] ([[User talk:Alex T Snow|talk]]) 22:44, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
:::I think the issue here is that there's a window of a few days before the site upgrade where ''updated'' images didn't get their new versions copied to the new server, I'm currently working to verify this.

::::That would make sense to me. For clarity, the actual updated image files themselves didn't revert and are still here on the site, it's just the ''pages that use them'' are still displaying the old version.

In my experience this is all totally normal after updating an image, but only for a few hours-ish until the server realizes something has changed (or similar), the difference here being that I updated these almost two weeks ago.

== The Beretta/M16 issue ==
== Page titles with special characters ==


I think that the [[M16 rifle series]] page should be kept together, since the guns listed on the page are essentially the same weapon, though giving the Beretta 93R its' own page is possible, so long as it's done well and kept up to the same quality standards as the other gun pages on the site. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 22:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I don't want to sound like I'm rushing you guys as I'm sure it's a headache trying to fix all this, but when it comes to page titles that now have "invalid" characters should we keep waiting for that fix script/etc you mention, or is it okay to rename them to something that works manually? I just don't want to step on any toes or screw up a larger-picture fix by fixing something individually. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] ([[User talk:Alex T Snow|talk]]) 05:02, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
:We're working with someone now to build a script for both the Broken pages and the broken image names that have accents, but that process will probably take 2-3 weeks, in the meantime it's okay to rename them manually, it won't harm anything. --[[User:Bunni|bunni]] ([[User talk:Bunni|talk]]) 16:23, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
::Thank you! :) [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] ([[User talk:Alex T Snow|talk]]) 18:53, 17 September 2022 (UTC)


: I'm afraid I goofed on making a page for the Beretta 93R; it somehow ended up getting labeled as "[[Beretta 92]]". If you could fix this, I'd greatly appreciate it. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 23:12, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
== New Weapon Category: ==


:: Disreguard, [[Alienqueen11]] took care of it. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]]
It is worth adding these two new categories of weapons.
<br>
Category: Anti-aircraft guns, Autocannons
<br>
Category: Anti-tank guns, Artillery, Howitzers
<br>
On the IMFDB website, we already have a lot of created pages on this subject. An example of AA weapon.
[[2cm FlaK 38]] and AT weapon [[5 cm Pak 38]].
What do you think ? Complete all pages in one of these two categories. --[[User:Mateogala|Emto_PL]] ([[User talk:Mateogala|talk]]) 16:13, 14 November 2022 (UTC)


== Merge Sig Sauer P220-series pistol pages? ==
== Visual Editing? ==


I would like to suggest that all the pages for the Sig-Sauer P220-series pistols be merged into one, since they're all essentially variants of the same weapon. This merger would include the [[Sig Sauer P226]] and [[Sig Sauer P228]] pages, and any others I might have overlooked. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 16:56, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Would it be possible to make use of the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor Visual Editor] that's available for WYSIWYG editing, as it's more developed and intuitive for most contributors who may not be versed in the MediaWiki markup?


: I've copied the Sig P228 material onto the Sig P226 page, I just need someone to retitle the P226 page and redirect the P228 page. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 20:21, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Also, there are a few extensions and features that I'd like to recommend that would improve the search functionality of the IMFDB, which I am familiar with (as I am project leader and tech support over at the [https://en.battlestarwiki.org Battlestar Wiki]). Perhaps they could be deployed as well? Happy to discuss further. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] ([[User talk:Joe Beaudoin|talk]]) 16:29, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
 
== RE: Congrats ==
 
Thanks, that's great that they're featuring it. It's also good for this site since it's being advertised. And sure, I'll keep checks on the Scarface page, I already deleted one vulgar comment, I wonder how you block users like that from editing.
 
== We need moderators ==
 
Hey Bunni, I was wondering if you knew how to get some moderators on this site to block some of the users because there's been alot of vandalism since we're gettting alot more visitors. This one user deleted the content on the main page, Scarface, wallpaper, and support, but don't worry I fixed them.
 
== Relation between IMFDB and a former Wikipedia article? ==
 
Hey Bunni, I was curious, aside from the overall theme, is there any relation between this site and the former Wikipedia article "List of Firearms in Films" and its' sister article, "List of Firearms in Video Games? I was a frequent contributor to that article and a fervent advocate against its' deletion, and was wondering if that article is living on here? [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 22:05, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 
== Re: Adding Admininstrators ==
 
Sure, I be more then happy to take up the status, just let me know when it's done, Thanks alot. Alienqueen11.
 
== Re: Wikipedia article ==
 
I'm afraid I don't know any of the admins over at Wikipedia, I'm just another user there. As for your suggestion that I be a moderator here, I could give it a shot. Also, don't forget to retitle the [[Sig Sauer P226]] page so it covers all the P220-series pistols, and/or let me know how to do it should you give me moderator privledges. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 01:07, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 
== Suggestion for movie articles ==
 
I just had an idea to help add something to the movie articles. How about adding movie poster or DVD/VHS cover images to them, like their articles over at Wikipedia have? Just a thought. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 01:25, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 
== The Sig P220 pistol page ==
 
Thanks for fixing the Sig Sauer P220 pistol page. I'll start fixing the links as nessicary. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 02:24, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 
== Re:Digg ==
 
Cool, You mean vote for it? I have to have an account there to do it, I'll make one.

Upgrade Issues

If you notice any upgrade issues, or hit any errors on the site, you can let us know here or email manager at imfdb.org

Known Issues

Issue: MediaWiki no longer allows accented characters in page titles. 1,606 pages that had accented characters in their page titles have been moved to new pages with the Broken\ prefix. Plan: We are working on a script to automatically move these pages to new pages with valid titles.

Issue: Some images are missing. Plan: We are working on a script to automatically pull these images from the backups.

Issue: Full SSL encryption is now enabled. If you were logged in via http your cookie may no longer be valid. Fix: If you see errors related to 'session hijacking' clear all imfdb.org cookies and log in again.

Can you try specifically going to the https://www.imfdb.org version of the site? You have to type it in manually in the search bar, you'll know you have it because the you'll see a lock in url bar. For me that keeps me logged in on Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. If you have restrictive cookie settings or a cookie blocker that might also be logging you out. We'll move to a 100% https site for everyone next week. --bunni (talk) 16:25, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
