I have recently been encountering two errors whenever I navigate the CBG wiki.

Error 1: Occasionally, when navigating to a page (any page), the page contents do not load and I am immediately presented with this instead:

[ooc]exception 'RuntimeException' with message 'DirectoryIterator::__construct(/nfsn/content/ds-x/public/tmp/) [directoryiterator.--construct]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory' in /home/brandon/public_html/wiki/extensions/SpecialWikiFeeds.php:813 Stack trace: #0 /home/brandon/public_html/wiki/extensions/SpecialWikiFeeds.php(813): DirectoryIterator->__construct('/nfsn/content/d...') #1 /home/brandon/public_html/wiki/extensions/SpecialWikiFeeds.php(790): SpecialWikiFeeds->_getCacheFiles() #2 /home/brandon/public_html/wiki/extensions/SpecialWikiFeeds.php(188): SpecialWikiFeeds->_cachePrune() #3 /home/brandon/public_html/wiki/extensions/SpecialWikiFeeds.php(900): SpecialWikiFeeds->__construct() #4 [internal function]: wfWikiFeeds() #5 /home/brandon/public_html/wiki/includes/Setup.php(288): call_user_func('wfWikiFeeds') #6 /home/brandon/public_html/wiki/includes/WebStart.php(102): require_once('/home/brandon/p...') #7 /home/brandon/public_html/wiki/index.php(39): require_once('/home/brandon/p...') #8 {main}[/ooc]

I can easily re-load the page or just go back to the last page and try the link again, so this is hardly a crippling error, but there you go.

Error 2: My user page doesn't seem to work any more; every time I try to navigate to it, I get this instead:

[ooc]Fatal error: Call to a member function getFullUrl() on a non-object in /home/brandon/public_html/wiki/extensions/SpecialWikiFeeds.php on line 943[/ooc]

No other user page gives me this error.  The wiki hates me!

This error is caused by the presence of a ! in your username. Stuff like this breaking is usually a sign of broken code, so I'd recommend getting to the bottom of it rather than taking the easy fix of just changing the username. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the innards of the Wiki and wouldn't really know where to look even if I did, so Ishmayl will probably have to help you further.

I am worried that my lovely system of auto-disambiguating templates is to blame...

I assumed the same cause, but it hasn't always been this way - something must have changed recently to make it incompatible.  I have no knowledge of how wiki code works, so I really wouldn't know what that "something" is.

Quoterequire_once('/home/brandon/p...')

That looks bad. either the error message is LAME, and shortining the one line of text i need to actually read, or it's trying to find a directory called 'p...' (which doesn't exist, at all).

Both errors seem to deal with WebStart, whatever that is.

If this is happening recently, perhaps it has something to do with the FeedAPI we (daggerhart and I) recently installed?

We all know its just the result of last weeks wild and crazy turtle rave party

I don't want to be a pest, but is there anyone looking into this?  If this isn't a priority I understand completely, but if that's the case I want to change my wiki name, since the exclamation point seems to be the problem (and removing it would presumably solve things).

On an only slightly related note, mousing over the "wiki" tab on this site still says The wiki for "CeBeGia," the community project of the CBG, which I don't believe is an accurate description of its current contents.

Sorry Polycarp, we did some fixes, and I just assumed it had taken care of things.  Can you still not access your user page at all?

That's correct.  Attempting to access my user page yields the same error as before.

On the plus side, the other error I described initially - the one that only happened every so often - doesn't seem to happen any more.

Yeah, apparently we fixed one and left the other to evolve, grow teeth, and munch on our wiki for dinner.  I'll see what I can do.

I still sometimes see the Error 1 message.

I take back what I said earlier; I, like Phoenix, just saw the other error message that I thought was gone.  It might just be my imagination, but I do get the feeling that it doesn't pop up as frequently now.

Hello!

These errors are unfortunately still around.  I have decided to be proactive, however, and have moved my user page from "Polycarp!" to "Polycarp" as part of a general effort to dump the exclamation point.  My wiki account, however, still has an exclamation point.  Is it possible for an admin to change my username on the wiki?
