All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part IV - Bob Schroeck - 09-29-2014
Okay, now that we have stability again, I want to look into those MP3/soundfile player options. Some time today I'll head back to MediaWiki's page of player extensions and try to decide what one would work best for us. After that, well, it depends on the extension, but I'll probably just make a recommendation to Geth and Brent, and possibly post a link to the documentation page here for other folks to review and add their thoughts.
If this is a go, though, I'd like to ask people to suggest pages where the ability to play back a short sound would be suitable to the subject matter. Off the top of my head, the following seem to be good candidates, and should provide a clear idea of what I'm looking for:
The Minsky Pickup
Shave and a HaircutNoblewoman's LaughKabuki SoundsWilhelm ScreamRimshot(that sequence of 12 notes that says "Arabian Nights" or "Snake Charmer" whose name I'm forgetting right now)

Asking here instead of on the wiki forum so people don't actually expect me to do it...
Occasionally, I'm tempted to go through the list of Wanted pages, click on all the "Troper/" links, and redirect them all to "This Troper". Is this a bad idea?

1. 99% of these people aren't members and will never be members of ATT.
2. I have little desire and see no point in retaining artifacts of TV Tropes page structure.

Okay, I've finally had a minute and I've found the sound player that Wikipedia uses -- it's a combination of a template and a Lua module, and it's called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Listen]Listen. In addition to being a sound player, it's also (despite its name) a video player as well.
It appears that it's simple enough install, and unless someone says not to, I'll probably do it some time in the next day or two.

Is something wrong with the search? If I enter "serious" in the search box, it pops up the usual 10 or so suggestions for pages starting with "Serious", but if I go ahead and actually do a search, it returns
Quote:There were no results matching the query.EDIT: Oh, and I'm still getting sporadic 504 errors whenever I try to save an edited page; it always takes at least one more try before the page actually saves.
Create the page "Serious" on this wiki!

I could save when I posted that. Looks like nothing works now. At all. I'm thinking we should rename the wiki "All The 504s"...

1. Vorticity needs a break to do IRL stuff, so I'm in command for awhile concerning the server side stuff and major decisions until he's back in active duty.
2. The problem ATM is that HHVM works great, but Lua (what powers our trope/work templates) is determined to engage HHVM in a neverending slapfight that we thought had been resolved, and that's what threw the servers off their axis. The Orain guys were working on it, should hopefully have a fix for it by tomorrow.
- robkelk - 10-04-2014
I'm getting errors on the Poser and Daz Studio Freebies wiki as well, so it's definitely Orain-wide. Nothing we can do about it for now...

Ideally, somebody ought to just go in there and physically threaten them into playing nice, or else...*Cue sound effect of a shotgun being cocked*

Joy. Sorry for being pissy, Geth. It was a bad day.

Oh, and before I forget -- I tried to do this myself, but couldn't find a or the right page (which might not be available to me) -- can we add MP3 to the acceptable file upload formats? I've installed the module and template for Listen, but I can't upload anything to test them with.

1. Don't worry about having a bad day. I was annoyed crap broke too.
2. We seem to have stopped the slapfight and John fixed some lingering issues.
3. I'll add MP3 and a few other audio formats to the list of requested features.
- Bob Schroeck - 10-05-2014
1. Okay, then...
2. Cool.
3. Cool. And thanks.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I trope-surfed, weak and weary,
Over many a strange and spurious web-page of media tropes galore,
While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning,
And my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour,
"Tis not possible," I muttered, "give me back my free trope lore!"
Quoth the server, "504."
----a quick and dirty adaptation.
EDIT: The irony is, it started working after I posted that. Or is that irony?

It's been cycling for days now. About half an hour of 504s, then a longer time (how much longer is variable) where it's usable, then without warning 504s again. It is terribly frustrating.

I wonder: Could the slapfight still be going on? If so, then something needs to be done about it!

He's trying to avoid total shutdown so people aren't further screwed out of using the wiki, but performance hiccups are inevitable.
- Bob Schroeck - 10-09-2014
Okay, it's been ten days now that the wiki's been randomly throwing 504 errors, and in the last couple days, the ratio of 504 time to actually functional time has been rising dramatically. I thought this was supposed to be fixed days ago.

Yes, I was just about to post a note about the irony of finally complaining after waiting so long and then having it suddenly start behaving... I jus' can't win fer losin' sometimes.

We spoke too soon -- they're back (or they never left). Just not in blocks as long as before, and not quite as frequently.
