From Firefox to Opera, because the latest Firefox update appears to cause the browser to lock up repeatedly on this old workhorse XP box. I'm still using Firefox on my newer machines.

I did, but what with the closing on my mother's house, I've kind of skimped on responding to my email for a the last few days. I'll respond tonight.

(Why do I only ever notice problems when I don't have time to log in to Phabricaor...?)

Category page lists and External links search results aren't updating, on ATT or the freebie wiki.

You beat me to it -- I tried to report it earlier but was getting 503 errors.

Sorry I didn't notice until now.  I've kicked the job queue and everything should be back to normal.

How would we feel about preventing unregistered users from creating new pages?

Unregistered users not being able to create new pages would likely be a nice step forward.

I'm surprised we aren't disallowing that already.

Getting 503s again, for at least the last 10 minutes. (And I was in the middle of a search, too...)

Yeah, I hit some middle of yesterday afternoon, too.

On the earlier topic, it looks like our favorite bowel fan seems to have been thwarted for the moment.

Hey, does anyone know what the trope is for a flower border appearing around a character?  I'm thinking of Utena, various shoujo manga, this Gunnerkrigg strip.

I don't think we have one yet. If we did, it would be on the Utena page for sure.

I'm sure there's a name for it - the Japanese have a one-word name for practically everything else, after all - but I don't know what that name is. I'll ask around.

EDIT:
It looks like this is as close as we come, at the moment:
Flower Motifs Wrote:The system of ''hanakotoba'' is the Japanese system of flower symbolism -and it makes the occasional appearance in anime, especially in the form of [[Cherry Blossoms], [[Girls Love|white lilies], and [[Sunny Sunflower Disposition|sunflowers]. More generally, [[Shoujo] manga and anime (and [[Boys Love|related genres]) will have the background break out in unexplained flowers to emphasize a character's beauty, goodness, or emotional state.

Still looking for a name for the trope...

Speaking of "what's that called?"...

When a panel without dialogue is i the middle of a comic strip, we call it a "beat panel". What do we call it when it's at the end of a strip? (For example, http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=1001 )

I stumbled across a hardcoded link to an Orain page on the freebie wiki, did a search, and cleaned up the four results that I found there.

Then I did the same search on ATT. There's more than four hardcoded-Orain links there - most but not all to allthetropes.orain.org pages. Would somebody with a bot and a few minutes fix these, please?

No uploads? I guess I won't be making a dent in this list for a while...

Do we have any ETA on service resumption?

This is annoying.

Mass edit using regular expressions says the pages that I copied directly from the list of pages linking to Red Baron don't exist.

Personal experience with regex has shown to me that mass edit is finnicky as fuck, you might want to retry a few dozen times dispersed through a time period
